    Flight speed restriction on the Mini 2

    I discovered this issue back in January of 2021, my mini 2 did a little walkabout and I barely got it down. Here's a couple threads about it... https://mavicpilots.com/threads/mini-2-tried-to-fly-away-on-me.104961/...

    This is crazy, Minis are tough! Sorry if this has been posted already, couldn't find it anywhere here.

    I crashed my drone. Wondering what happened? I was flying a litchi waypoint mission at over 100 ft and the drone just spiraled to the ground. I

    There is a player that shows the operator input, if you mean the statement he made about the uncommanded descent.

    Slup could look at a piece of gum you spit out and tell what you did while chewing it. J/K...the graph he posted shows the attitude of the A/C during flight. Speed, altitude, pitch, roll, and yaw.

    Guy flying his drone with an AR-15 on him checking police activity from his house

    Paranoid cops, and paranoid citizen. The man knew his rights, stayed calm, and cooperated with the officers. Glad it ended like it did, sure could have went pear shaped for all involved.

    French tourist sentenced to 8 years in jail over drone flight.

    This is the exact thought that crosses my mind when I read these kinds of stories. They go to these places thinking "I am going to show everyone on social media how wrong they are" and end up in prison. Play stupid games...

    Helipad on car hood?

    I think the hoods are aluminum but the rest is steel. I just found it weird that launching from the tonneau it didn't have any effect on my Mini 1 but does on the Mini 2. I just can't remember if I powered them up differently and maybe that was why.

    Helipad on car hood?

    I have a 2011 F 150, the body isn't aluminum. I have launched from the composite bed cover with my Mini 1 and it was fine, when I tried with the Mini 2 I did get a few compass warnings. Ford didn't start making the aluminum bodied trucks until 2015.

    Tablet for the Mini 2

    Air 2 A Fireworks Store on the 4th of July - Timelapse

    hahaha that's awesome! A few years back a couple friends and I rode our Harleys to Beartooth pass, it was just before the 4th of July and there were fireworks stands set up in every town and along the highways. We stopped in Billings Montana and bought a crapload of stuff we can't get in Canada...

    Heat Wave in the Pacific Northwest

    It was so hot last week here in northern Alberta it warped the plastic box rail covers on my F-150. Same spot on both sides. Never experienced temperatures like that in my life even holidaying a lot further south, let alone up here in the north.

    Scotty Kilmer: 5 Tools Stupid People Buy Including a Mavic

    I love Scotty. The way he waves his hands when he talks makes me laugh. My kids and I imitate him all the time when we're explaining stuff. Hilarious.
