"This is why I asked about your drone(s)…"
I didn't read the fine print.

@IMac
The pay here is kind of low.
Learning,and helping others, that is what it is..

Love this forum!!

Welcome to the forum @IMac!

Wow!!! Thank you so much

I see I really have so much to learn, I will start with the basics of course. Is there 1 or 2 you tube etc...I should watch in order to get more familiar with my Mavic 3 Pro? BTW her name is Thelma.

 

[IMac]

To be specific I would like to connect with a free trial of a mapping app for Thelma.

 

[IMac]

I don't know how to connect, program, check GPS etc... I know I am seriously lacking...

Try searching for "Mavic 3 Pro Beginner's Guide" at YouTube.com.

Also, it would be a good idea to read the DJI manual (available in the "Products" section of the DJI Download Center) from beginning to end (maybe a few times). You're certainly not going to remember everything, but it'll give you a good understanding of the available features and capabilities of your drone.

 

[IMac]

Will do!

BTW her name is Thelma.

Many, many years ago a study by the auto insurance carriers found that folks who name their cars generally take better care of them and are in fewer accidents... I believed this to be true from my own experiences over the years and I too names my drone...

Thelma, meet Miss Minny...

Be careful about that home point, one member launched from inside their garage because it was so hot out and sat on a lawn chair in the shade of the garage and flew only FPV (Not Legal...) and he also got lazy when it was time to bring his drone home and he hit the RTH button to let it fly itself back, especially since he was not to sure where it was anyway.

Well it did return at the preset altitude until it was over its home point and then it descended, right onto the roof of the garage. It then slid down and crashed on the driveway...

However, resetting the home point is important...

Hi I am Eileen and I'm interested to learn. I want to thank everyone for admission to your group. I hope to get to know all you wonderful and creative drone operators. Cheers!!!

Number one rule of Drone Flying is to never let them see you take off! It’ll save you a lot of time and aggravation! They’ll bug you or ask you a lot of questions while you fly!

 

[IMac]

Good point!

Love Maine when I was younger I would spend summers there and winters in Palm Beach FL. I was a server at a restaurant named Testa's they are long since sold but I still remember the year the QE2 sailed into Bar Harbor. Just beautiful.
