    Galveston Island rules

    Yes using the apps. That is where I see the a-381 special fly area. What I am not clear on, is if I can or ca not fly legally for recreation. I have not tried, so not sure what the DJI app shows.

    Active track 2.0

    I built a custom holder and mounted it to the handle bars. And used a phone holder also, so the phone was not bouncing on the controller. Here is a video I made and the controller was there on the handle bars rock solid. I grab some pictures and post in a bit of the mount
