    Seagull kills £30,000 surveillance drone.

    Seagull try to attack my drone all the time, but I think they are afraid of it. They are pretty much cowards here (most of them)

    Bird approaching drone in an aggressive way

    The thing is a bird (not matter what size) can easily take down a drone, all it has to do is connect with one of the rotors and snap! breaks...down comes drone. Ever try to keep you drone aloft with 3 rotors? Not very likely...off course bigger birds like hawks of seagulls your screwed,

    'Don't be creepy': CAA issues warning to real estate agents over drone use (New Zealand)

    I don't have a subscription either (not worth it) I assume it is because of the CAA regulation that they need permission from surrounding residences to film at a low altitiude. CAA NZ do not allow drones to fly over residence areas at a low altitude with permission from land owners. There have...

    Drone damage to airplanes?

    Don't modern military jets have guards that prevent birds and other objects from getting sucked into the jet intake?

    Flew in a cool place and got yelled at for it.. Crazy Lady

    I have had people come up to me in the local park here and commend me on how I'm operating my Zoom. Like when someone is walking past I raise the drown above head level and wait till they pass , a lot of them recount stories of people not so careful. Stories of people purposely frightening...

    Drone damage to airplanes?

    I would think the most dangerous part of the drone would be the battery, its pretty heavy and could possibly explode if struck and shorted.

    Bird Strike

    Is there a product that will totally cover the props? Where I fly at has a lot of nasty territorial birds (Mostly Seagulls and smaller) that seem to attack the drone when it gets to a certain height (usually about 50 feet up). Luckily the last bird strike did not break props, but I think that...

    More Headaches...

    The install was on a actual install of Win 10 Professional with a format of the hard drive. Thanks for the advice , it seems the tech I am talking at DJI by email doesn't have a clue either. I will just keep tearing my hair out here, but DJI will not be getting US$1500 from me for the full...

    More Headaches...

    I clicked trusted (Yes) when it installed and didn't work. The cable is fine, connects fine with assistant 2. Yes, practice maneuvering without fear of damage. The DJI Flight Sim is supposed to be exactly how the craft will react to the control , funny the VCOM driver in the Assistant 2 works...

    Well, since then I have a spanking new Windows 10 64-bit Professional Installed..(more money down the tube) , DJI Assistant 2 works fine and DJI Flight Simulator still cant see the Mavic 2 RC...I surely am not going to pay them $1500 for the full version if they cant help getting the Trial...
