    Thanks for this. Hopefully I can go visit these or at least some of these places before summer ends.

    AMA or Insurance?

    I was looking at State Farm insurance coverage for my MP, and I want to know your thoughts on this. Should I get SF or AMA ? What are the benefits to both of them? And cons?

    AND HAVE AN OBSERVER NEXT TO YOU. Just in case you don't see something that can obstruct your flight.

    Tbh, It scares me too! But it helps that my friend owns a mavic and the kind of gave me a little boost of confidence. But we'll never get better at flying if we don't do things that scare us a little bit. :D

    I've only flown 3 times. The first one I got told to stop cause I was at a parking lot. I did fly on the beach July 4th though, the first time NOT in beginner mode and it was amazing. Though I was scared to go too far. :D

    Beach flying and concerns?

    I got a helipad from amazon. The cheapest I can find. It came with stakes and reflective stickers already. I used it when we went to the beach last week, (it was my first non-beginner mode flight too!) I took off from that helipad, and then when it was time to land, shook the sand off and then...

    New Pilot from the Bay Area!

    I've heard so much about Baylands parks. I'm not confident yet though. I would really like to practice more and be really comfortable with the bird before I head out. Problem is I live so close to airports. (Hayward Executive Airport, & Oakland Airport.) I live by Kaiser and St. Rose too, so...

    Remote Control Sticks not working

    Oh no. I've been watching tutorials and stuff before I even bought the mavic. I think I got too excited earlier and assumed that the default would be Mode 1. This is another reason why I wanted to use the flight simulator before I went out and actually flew the aircraft. Thank you so much for...

    Am I supposed to be on mode 2? :\ I'm sorry, I just got the drone today. And I'm really not too sure about anything just yet.

    Remote Control Sticks not working

    I did try to use both when I went out right now. I will try right now with a different battery to see if it causes any difference.

    Remote Control Sticks not working

    Update: I finally brought the drone outside and tried to at least let it hover. So I could start the props up, with the left and right sticks down. It did run. I tried to go up, no avail. Using the left stick and moving it left and right, the stick responds. Going up though is not doing...
