    flying three miles high, catastrophic collision. ( NO COLLISION OCCURRED )dc

    I have to admit it, that was me. I was testing my DJI Spark battery to see if I could actually fly from here in Western Michigan to the UK and back in Sport mode in 12 minutes. Figured if I got up in the jet stream I just might make it. Came back but was 1100 meters short. Sorry for all the bad...

    Flying over a beach. Okay or not?

    I have been flying the shoreline of Lake Michigan (Holland) for 3 years with no issues. I avoid flying directly overhead and not slowly. More often I have beach goers wave then I will slow up and “wave” then continue on.

    Is it normal to be afraid?

    Yes! Your confidence will grow with each successful flight. You will learn to trust what you see on the screen and each flight will be more relaxing and soon you will forget your fears. Fly and enjoy.

    Go to fly my Mavic and find this....WTF

    Sorry to go off topic but here in Michigan insurance is a slippery slope. This happened to us. Wife's car was hit by a farm tractor pulling out of a field, our insurance paid though she wasn't at fault. Both our cars we damaged by a tornado and our auto insurance paid for repairs, again not our...

    (Poll) How old are we?

    Feel good! I'm just about to go 10 up on you :>( But the Inspire, Mavic and a P4 erase a few of those years

    You want me to take a quiz. Okay. So let me take it already!

    So let me see if I have this right. DJI builds a craft that will exceed our 400 foot limit, will fly waaaaaaay beyond LOS and will do both in in the dark then they ask us if we can pass a test? What am I missing???

    $49 Huawei Ascend XT2 aka Wunderphone = THE best Mavic screen EVER

    2000 feet? Arent we supposed to stay under 400 feet? Kind of makes me wonder why drones get so much bad press :>(

    Neighbour complains . And what i did .

    I don't know how much difference it makes but I bought one of theses (Drone FAA UAS Certificate of Registration - Hobbyist ID Card for wallet) online (you know where). To most it looks official and MY opinion is that it when people see it they assume that it allows me to fly there and I have...

    Let's hear it for the little guy!

    Geez, with all the whining and complaining about DJI, why isn't Craig's List and the like overloaded with DJI products?

    Hangar 360 (again)

    Recently added the Mavic to the Inspire and P4 I have. I downloaded the Hangar 360 app to my iPad2 mini and have all current updated installed. I closed all apps then opened the Hangar app for my first attempt at a 360 shot. I launched the Mavic and it stopped at 98' and I got a message saying...
