Is there a way to submit authorization for a different location before you get there? Aloft allowed you to move around the green marker but not on their new app Air Control. It seems that you have to be on location to submit a request. But it says you can submit up to 5 requests ahead of schedule.

...almost 2 years old. There's a fluctuating noise coming from one of the motors (can't pinpoint which one). It sounds like the cooling fan but it's not. Has anyone replace all four motors? How long do these drones last?

Yes, Skydio if you can get a hold of one. ?

You can fly over the bay from the Embarcadero next to the Bay Bridge.

he's dumb but he's also right. most people are upset not because of concern for the crowd but because they spent all that money on their drone and they didn't fly it. It's like the young asian tourist in Iceland who went up to my face and scolded me for flying my drone. he was so upset and told...

I get this warning every time I fly the drone backwards. it never used to happen before the drone was repaired.

first crash: First crash, repair, but loss of confidence in the drone but mostly the yawing issue a lot of Mavic Air has during take off.

Yes, I learned ignore it. I thought I read somewhere here that DJI would fix it by replacing the main core board.

Thanks for checking. I usually position the drone facing the direction where it's headed, towards the awesome view. or I could have placed it facing to the right of this photo, down the highway. but I doubt that. I calibrated the compass right there when it asked, between the car parked on the...
