    Firmware

    Anyone know what Firmware V01.00.0640 is? Done a firmware upgrade today Voo.00.0670 which is something to do with battery temp. The 2nd upgrade auto started or am I missing something. Upgrades done direct with aircraft and remote controller over WiFi.

    Waypoint mapping

    When you have finished your way points using DJI app it should tell you how long the mission is. If it’s going to be around 23+minutes I would suggest increasing the the speed of the mission in order to give you a safety margin. Practice in some big fields before you go and send your drone...

    Mavic Pro 2 Prop replacement

    After flying general aviation aircraft for 40 years I learnt a few things that I employ with my drone to include aircraft checks every flight and prop checks with replacement after 30 hours. I leave the props in situe on the drone which means the springs on the motor spindle do not get worn and...

    UK CAA Cap 1789. New Eu Regulations up to 2022

    Thanks for your constructive comments. We will have to wait and see what the future holds. However I have a sneaking feeling that airspace from the ground up to 400 ft will have new classification in the future so that all drones can be located and I assume have to pay for the privilege of...

    UK CAA Cap 1789. New Eu Regulations up to 2022

    Spent sometime reading this new legislation. What a load of . ........ anyway the drone industry will be taking a knock from the UK financially. I know it it needed against the flying idiots of every country but the UK has more than it’s share of jobsworths and money making exercises sanctioned...

Explain you can look at his fencing and inspect the roof of out buildings sheds etc. NO MONEY IS TO BE EXCHANGED OR GIFTS RECEIVED this would be classed as commercial work and you just want somewhere to fly. You must have an email from the farmer or hand...

    Newbie from UK

    Yep a load of good and bad red tape which I suggest you become familiar with prior to flying. I know your keen to get up in the air but be safe from mr and Mrs jobsworth. A lot of people do not like drones due to media amplification. I have found dog walkers think they own the field or park you...

    Two way radio

    Speaking in the UK for past UK commercial operations. I have Emailed the ATC operations either military or civil. The details should have your name, phone number Sat Nav Lat and long grid ref and your intentions with time. That way it helps if anyone asks if you have contacted anyone. Prior...

    Total "newby" with stupid questions !!

    Well. Any drone takes a while to get used to it. However the DJI drones are a bit more than a toy and I class them as a superb flying camera with all the necessary options for flying and taking pictures. I would suggest you step back from your new toy and learn as much as you can. The use of...
