Use a lanyard such that the remote control hangs around your neck (that is essential, see photo). Hold the mini with your left hand in the air, with your right hand tap the auto-start button and start as usual. There is no need to throw it up as you can see in some Youtube videos - just move...

Spend your time practicing hand launch and grab - it is very easy and no need to buy anything except a strap for the R/C.

Since many drone enthusiasts are traveling internationally, it makes sense to develop a world RID standard, or at least one between the USA, Eu and Japan. Oh, and the UK...

And visitors too!

Very, very well done!!!! But in the end, the witch won - see this link!

Lesson learned: never take off under a tree! And if you do: reset the home point as soon as the drone reaches a point with clear view to the sky so you know auto RTH there is safe.

I think it is the first drone that was designed by ChatGPT!

I know it is silly, but the EU rules are valid in all of the EU only as a minimum set of safety guidelines. All countries are allowed to add their own rules and they do! All countries all have their own version of an interactive app (often including applicable Notams!) where drones can be flown...

I think every drone flyer should read this post. GREAT.

Isn't it time that the various countries/regions (USA, Canada, UK, Eu) recognize each other's certificates for hobby flying? I have EU and UK A1/A3 as well as A2 - I also have US Trust (really easy). I did not check the Canadian SFOC, but I expect is is comparable to US/UK A2. Obviously, local...
