Hello from South East Idaho

[Thoraldus]

Got a P3P back in May this year and had dozens of successful flights over the summer months. I sold the P3P and have just purchased an M2P. Quickly learned that my awesome Pixel 2 XL is not currently an optimum controller display device so I have acquired an IPad Mini 4 (works great so far) and have a CrystalSky on the way. (the skies are bright up here at 6000’)

I am studying for my Part 107 certification and expect to take the exam soon.

By the way, Great Forum!!!

cheers,
Rick Stirling

Thank you Rob! This forum looks to be an awesome resource. I hadn’t noticed yet, but is there a 107 section around here?

Welcome Rick! Congratulations on passing your 107 too, I'd try to get mine but the fact that it needs renewal every 24 months makes it not worth it for the few and limited times I might use it since I'm flying my majority of the time as an AMA hobbyist fixed wing pilot. I just got the MPP a month ago for fun and a change of flying skills. The video FPV was an added feature in my case and not even the primary reason for the purchase. I mostly liked the high tech abilities of the drone and the ease with which it flys compared to the gas fixed wing planes and gas helicopters I'm used to flying which take much more input and learning.

Mike,

Perhaps by next year the $150 recurring exam fee might be a thing of the past. Hope so!
