    Tracking your shot deer in Pennsylvania may land you in jail.

    People have businesses doing this.

    Thanks JCL. I downloaded the suggested read and it confirms I am not a total geek.

    How many satellites are there to hook up with?

    Thanks Meta4. I showed up to ask how the sky works for drones in general never asking about mine. I have learned a lot here so far. The biggest being the legal aspects of where a drone can be flown. I ordered a strobe for my night flights only because I read about it here.

    How I started "Not a mavic pilot but a new Bwinef7 flyer interested. Can I jump in? --- Athough you are not flying a DJI Drone, many of our members are also flying non-DJI drones and you might find some with your drone here. I hope we fill your expectations and don't be afraid to contribute...

    How many satellites are there to hook up with?

    Correct. Not DJI. I had never heard of DJI until I stepped in here. I am wanting to learn the basics and this forum appears to have the most knowledgeable flyers. I have not asked anything specific to my Bwine.

    I have both plus the amount of sats.

    How many satellites are there to hook up with?

    It does. "The numbers change quickly" in my op was part of my question. The bar graph next to it stays at 6 of 6 bars so I wondered how many sats were needed.

    How many satellites are there to hook up with?

    The manual does not state a number but I recall 7. Maybe 7 was in the small book. It has a 6 bar graph and it does say I need at least 3 bars. So far it always has been at 6. It has voice responses and says when connections are good, when the battery is low, max height reached...stuff like that...

    How many satellites are there to hook up with?

    Thanks. Is 30 better than 10? New flyer, first drone ever with about 20 flights, all practice. I did grab some decent cloudy sunsets. No dgi though. It is a Bwine.

    How many satellites are there to hook up with?

    Bwine f7gb2 back with a question. I am in Pennsylvania Hanover twp zip 18706. My app lists sat connections. I noticed numbers from 8 to in the 20's. The numbers change quickly. Are things better at 20 than 10? Is there a max? I did not even know what the small number was an hour ago.

    If I take off high and go low

    Thanks all, I am learning and paying attention to your responses.

    If I take off high and go low

    If I take off from a plateau and go down what happens to the controller readout? BWinef7gb2

    Just curious, do you think your preference for joystick mode depends on which hand you favour or just on the setting used whilst you were learning?

    I am 100 percent what was offered. My first drone right now is mode 2 mentioned above. The controller can be had in other modes but I needed to read and study the instructions. I have no video games to warp me.
