. . . I need to log some more flight hours and get my intuition levels up on the controls before I'll be trying this one. I'm sure more than a few of them will love it.
Welcome to Mavic Pilots from Dayton Ohio USA! Enjoy your new Mini 2, Fly safe and have fun!Hi there, Just an introduction as suggested.
I'm new to drones, complete rookie. My friends got me the MM2 after they'd heard me suggesting getting one. I have 400 acres out here and unfortunately in the middle of nowhere dog fight rings abandon dogs on my property all the time. I take them in, foster them and try and find them homes (not a business, just a dog lover. There's no money changing hands.) My having the MM2 is an easier way to check the property than constant scouting.
After a few flights, I'm hooked and Santa also brought me the MA2. I'm a photographer by hobby and this is totally a new area for me. MM2 for the dogs and home. MA2 for off property and my artistic endeavors.
No mistake though, I am a rookie at ALL of this. I'll put my knowledge level at 2 out of 10 (I'm giving myself a couple points for having successful flights and not running into anything) so I'll probably have more questions than contributions. Have patience with me while I learn my way around here.
Thanks - Daniel (Sayen_CroWolf)
That sounds like just the plan. I do need to gets things a lot more intuitive when it comes to my brain, my fingers and the sticks so that translates into practice, practice, practice. The weather has been total crap the last few days so the only time I can get is inside the barn/riding stable. I'd much prefer the outdoors.That makes perfect sense. You do want a level of skill and intuition before flying with dogs.
But once you have that, a cool side effect of playing "drone" with dogs is that it's also great skill-builder for the human. A three-battery session with the dogs puts me through hundreds of tight maneuvers that would be boring to practice on their own. And you can add difficult moves (i.e coordinating both sticks at once, with one or both sticks pushed diagonally for two-axis control). The dogs will be having fun while you improve as a pilot. Everybody wins!
With the two dogs I play drone with, the bigger dog took to chasing the drone first, while the little dog seemed initially to go along mostly to chase the big dog. But by and by, the little dog seemed to get the idea of the game, and is now fully invested in chasing the drone. Each dog has different strengths in drone chasing, and I switch the way I fly every couple of minutes, alternating so that each dog has times when her own style excels.
With your pack, I can envision some dogs learning from others, and a lot of variety in drone chasing styles. Your experience in playing drone with them may be particularly rich.
Hope you will let us know how it goes.
Oh, and if you do ever find any of the creeps who've abused these dogs, count me in for a contribution to your bail.

Hey Daniel, I'm in the NE Ohio area myself and fly quite regularly. Drop me a line sometime and maybe we can have a fly in. I have several drones to mess with and plenty of batteries. Keep flyin buddy!Hi there, Just an introduction as suggested.

Sounds like a good plan. Right now if I go off my property I'm looking for places in/around Cleveland to fly but I see a lot of nofly zones. Brookside Park next to the zoo is green lit and been there a couple of times. Most of the park police leave me alone but there was one guy - jeez. He knew less about drone and city restrictions than I do (and that's saying something) and tried to tell me Cleveland regs (I have them linked on my phone), Ditto for the park. I was nowhere near anyone, on the upper football field away from virtually everything and he decided to make his bad day all my fault.Hey Daniel, I'm in the NE Ohio area myself and fly quite regularly.

Hey Wolf, @Cymruflyer and myself made it over to Lakewood park this afternoon for a quick fly in. Beautiful spot, wide open with the lake to our advantage, and perfectly legal Class G airspace.Sounds like a good plan.

So, any suggestions you have on where is always appreciated.
It makes it so much easier to check the cattle and make sure there are no intruders.Hi there, Just an introduction as suggested.
