    Birds and drones

    He said no one was there to hear it. I assume that would include anyone including animals.

    Birds and drones

    My drone was chased and stalked by a pack of large buzzereds the other day. Needless to say, I landed it as fast as I could.

    Birds and drones

    No, just vibrations. Ears are needed to turn vibrations into sound.

    Sheriff at my door this morning.

    I would have just told them; yes i was flying a drone, and yes i will be doing it again. If the neighbors dont like it, they can hop in the DeLorean and move to 1921 when people had to attach cameras to their kites to take good photos over the city. Nevertheless, I don't see the point of...

    FAA Release NEW rules for UAS Operations

    I think by the time all this stuff comes together, a lot of people will be flying under 250-gram drones.

    Flying near trees and I bottled it.

    I always try to fly higher than the tallest tree in the area where I'm flying. Trees seem to be notorious for grabbing drones and not leting them go.

    Police showed up my house within 15 minutes of flight today

    As far as we know, he could have been turned in by a neighbor. From what I read, people in New York are strongly encouraged to turn in a fellow citizen if seen flying a drone.

    DJI Matrice 210 lost at sea. It even happens to the big boys.

    And the tax payers will be forced to buy them a bigger and better one as they shrug off the loss as "oopsi daisy."

    New DJI Go updates, now constant nag screen when above 400feet agl.....

    The problem started because whenever someone reported a white drone breaking rules, dji took the rap. Now their drones are grey and they are enforcing restrictions so the news media cant keep saying it was a dji drone that broke rules.

    Mavic Mini lost...devastated. Please help.

    Little Mavic Mini lost in the devil's thumb. Frankly, I would say flying the little mini anywhere over 120 feet in altitude would be a suicide mission.

    The FAA is ruining their name

    I think many people are confused in thinking that part 107 is just for flying toy phantom and mavic drones, but it's not. Not far away in the future, there will be a time where unmanned pilots will be running drone flight missions 100s of miles away. Because these will be more or less flight...
