I keep a couple of desiccant packs in the case to lessen the chance of moisture in places it shouldn't be.

A lot of it may be the prop noise. My dogs go nuts whenever I'd start the props spinning. I put the low noise props on the Mavic Pro and they no longer cared. Plus the Mavic 2 Pro has the low noise props and they ignore it too. The P4P is the worst, they go absolutely crazy.

I have State Farm PAP on my drones and my camera equipment. I have also verified with my agent that my home owners insurance will cover any liability.

If the temperature is below freezing and the humidity is fairly high, it is definitely a possibility. I read this tip on a forum, may have been here, before I ever flew in the winter. I have Rain-X on hand for my pick-up, so I've never flown without it and thus have never had ice form.

Sorry to see you go. I hope the Evo performs great for you. Stop back in and let us know how it goes.

I try to fly every day. When the weather is bad, like today, I put prop guards on the Mavic Air and fly indoors.

Also, I put a small amount of Rain-X on both the AC and props. It helps keep ice from forming.

I agree with what other folks have said about it decreasing the prop's effectiveness. The other thing is that it's butt ugly.

I keep my batteries in inside pockets so body heat helps keep them warm.

Well, since I'm not an attorney, I know better than to give definitive advice - that could get me in trouble.

I think Thunderdrones has a price list, at any rate, he'll tell you what stuff costs up front. He's in Duluth GA and is a great guy, he's helped me out a couple times. Rob Schwartz Thunderdrones 2615 Landington Way Duluth, Georgia 30096 Tel (678) 763-4427 [email protected]

I have a pair of gloves that have a flap and a slit in the index finger and thumb so you can stick your finger out when flying and the flap covers the slit when you're not. They are listed as being for photographers on Amazon.

I don't think so. It doesn't matter if you do it part time or full time, if the flight wasn't strictly for fun, you have to be 107.

He's in Nevada today, got a FAA alert email, don't recall exactly where, it didn't have anything to do with me so I didn't pay much attention.

A couple years or so ago, there was a Western, I don't remember which one, that one of the scenes had contrails in it.
