Thanks! Not the answer I was looking for, but it's good to know. The padding kind of impedes the blades when the drone is folded up, anyway.

We have another one in the US in 3 years. Come on over!

My kit arrived at my PO box a few days ago, and I just picked it up today. Already applied the piece to one of the batteries, which is pretty simple if you follow the directions on the video. One tip that Coal gives is that after you put the wet suit piece on the battery, DO NOT put the battery...

I don't really know what I"m looking at, but I found this for yesterday SVN 05/001 SVN Airspace aerobatic aircraft WI an area defined as 5 nautical miles radius of 320039N0804943W (14.8 nautical miles southwest HXD) surface-5,000 feet avoidance advise Jun 7, 2021 1400Z to Jul 7, 2021 2000Z

I wonder what would happen if I fly at 2-3 meters in my back yard? Guess I should just sign up for a he 107 course…

I've seen a few Youtube videos that suggest that the Smart Controller isn't as responsive as the standard controller. Regardless, I don't think there's an Air 2S package that includes the Smart Controller. So you might as well just get the Fly More package and see if the standard controller is...

Yesterday on MacRumors... iPad Mini With Slimmer Bezels and No Home Button Coming Later This Year

They made money from the video. Even though it was a small amount. Wouldn't that make it a "non-hobby/non-recreational" use?

I sent the email about ten minutes ago and already got a response: As a recreational flyer you will not be given access to that airspace. So, I guess I need my 107, then. Although I know someone without a 107 who has access to that airspace, so...uh...

Well, I know everyone is waiting with baited breath to hear what happened with my latest FAA auth request. To recap: I decided to make this one simpler. I selected the location, and made it a 1/4 mile radius, rather than asking for the whole area. I also lowered my max altitude to 75ft. And the...

I'm brand new at all of this. I stumbled across a Youtube video about a couple who had violated the rules. Not sure what they do for a living, but they would post random recreational drone videos on their monetized Youtube channel. This is a clear and unambiguous violation (they probably earned...

That means you're buying a bunch of plane tickets and flying around to hand deliver them, right? RIGHT???? :p

How well do your prop holders work with the Phantom Rain wetsuits? I just started flying my Air2S yesterday, and I noticed how the propeller blades could get into trouble. But I have a wetsuit inbound, so...

It was pretty awesome. My videos sucked, but the quality was amazing. Pretty much what you expect on a first day out. ;-)

That makes sense. I guess they saw that parts of the area were at zero altitude, so that limited me to zero. Kind of like “we can’t give you blanket area authorization because that’s zero feet. Oh, and we don’t do blanket authorization anyway.” The E2 area near my house is a different story...
