I am a really old guy looking at a new hobby. I received my 4 Pro about a week ago and have become enamored with it and the concept of drone flight. Thanks to this site for providing much info on things I didn't know, including things I didn't know I didn't know! My questions are of the typical newbie category. The first is use of launch pads. Are they necessary? I can see benefit in tall grass or dusty conditions, but outside of those, am I missing something? If you use one, is it a hard surface or soft? Is there an advantage one over the other than perhaps storage ability when not in use? My other question pertains to my registration number. The FAA requires it be located on the drone, however the drone's surface is of an 'orange peel' texture, not conducive to writing or stickers. I made a tape and stuck it in place, but it instantly showed signs of peeling off. Any recommendation in this respect? NOTE: I am aware that in it's stock form, the drone is under the weight requirement for registration.
Thanks in advance for any responses!
