That's interesting...yellow and yellow. I like the idea of stealthiness though too. I fly so high most of the time it isn't an issue, but when going over homes I often wonder if someone has a shotgun pointed at the drone. That makes me want to make it lighter in color to blend in with the sky.

I find that consistency is king here. If I put it down for a week, when I get back to it I have to think a little more before moving. But on day 4 of a 5 day stretch of daily flying...I'm pretty agile and can maneuver it with confidence.

I like, I think I'll download it too.

I'll give that a shot and see what happens. I can get a skin delivered at the doorstep pretty easy. Red digi camo sounds good!

Mavic is the grey color. The Spark is that white. You're right...colors will matter. Farmers put up colors to deter certain species. Maybe I should wrap a rubber snake around it!

You read the title, and thought "wtf is this newb posting on here?", didn't you? I was flying last week and was the happy recipient of a bird attack. Fortunately I didn't lose my drone, and was able to get it back to me. As I'm watching footage on youtube, I think to myself "I should go down...

I'll be on my way here in a little bit! Thanks!!!

Awesome guys! Thanks for the warm welcomes. All you KC area guys, I'm curious, have you run into any issues flying in certain areas? So far I've not been messed with, but my activity has been minimal.

Don't fly in Seven Falls, whatever you do! Welcome!!

Checking in from KC! I went downtown and snagged some footage for a project yesterday and the day prior. Few police officers drove passed me and probably figured out what I was doing...and waved at me. I expected them to stop me, but didn't.

Currently live in Kansas City, but from the Springfield area. I get down several times a year!

Greetings forum! New Pilot here from Kansas City. I've been poking around here and there reading on the forum, and I have to say that this is a great place to learn. Very excited about contributing and sharing knowledge with you all.

@Thunderdrones do you have another Right Rear? I had to buy a replacement arm for this reason. I think If you have this part, I'll repair it and have a spare arm.
