    Payload mode, how much weight ????

    That's what I was curious about, mostly distance, and without cage. High winds and rain for the next three days, I'll have to wait. My biggest fear is if I would be able to fly out 2500 or 3000feet payload would kick in and my mm would get a mind of it's own and say goodbye !!!

    FAA proposed changes explained !!!

    Just finished watching a forty five minute video explaining the upcoming proposals in regards to flying drones. Some I understood, a lot I didn't. It's on YOUTUBE, PILOT INSTITUTE, gives a good headsup on what may be coming. This video was released on Friday, December 27.

    Question about landing ??

    I've been asked by several friends that if I manually landed, say at 400 yards away, still having good contact with my mm between the controller and the craft, will I have the ability to take off and return to home or am I in for a walk ??

    Thank's for your response. I'm not that tech savvy at all on how to manually install. I'm going to seek help from a computer geek friend of mine tomorrow, I'll let you know what transpires. I really hope it works, I can't afford another device, again thank you very much and have a blessed holiday.

    Android tablets!!! Help

    The fly app isn't in the play store on my tab A note. I did get it as far as download then apk file, then it moves to staging and asks if I want to download, it tries but then I get the message app not installed, that's as far as I can get.
