    I have been grounded by a heart attack last year and am wanting to get back in the air. I tried to load the latest DJI Go 4 and it doesn't list the Mavic Pro on its quad list. Is there a new APP that I need to load for the Mavic Pro??

    Might be dumb question but should you keep the battery out of your drone when not using?

    I have had that happen to me also. There is a discharge system in the battery to bring it down below a certain %. You can select how many days you want to wait before the battery starts to discharge. There is a default value set by the factory but you can change it to up to 10 days I believe...

    To the owner of Frank: Thanks for backing me up. I am also a pilot with nearly 50 years in aviation including 2 years on a Navy LPH (Landing Platform for Helicopters). Having seen the internal workings of a jet turbine engine certainly showed me that a bird strike or anything like a small drone...

    Better read the manual again. Its ceiling is 16,400 feet, If it is below 1600 feet many areas in around the world would not be able to fly it. I have flown my at a AGL starting at 2100 ft.

    As a fellow GA certified pilot, I agree 100%. It takes study and time to learn what being a pilot is all about.

    Not true... If a drone was to be taken into the jet turbine engine, that would take the Chinook down. I have spent 2 years around that aircraft and have seen them dissassembled. No question that a drone in the intake would bring it down, just like a bird strike on a jet liner!
