    Did The President ruin anyone else's weekend?

    Regarding President Bush's home there is a 1 mile circle from the surface to 1500 AGL. The home is in class B airspace also. There is NO other no fly zone due to him. He slso lives within 5 miles of LOVE FIELD, a very busy airport.

    My first real job, any advice?

    This is not an easy project. Getting good audio is not easy and then editing is very important and not easy. Do you know or have a profesional video program. There is a reason a true pro would charge a lot for this project.

    Summer heat and tablets

    Yes, is was a higher than normal day for humidity and my Ipad was in a sun shield. It is interesting to bring up the humidity as I would not think it would make a difference, but it might.

    Summer heat and tablets

    Possible way point software problem

    On further study, I think the problem at low altitudes for me might me that my drone shows a gain in altitude when there is none, so if the first way point is 10 ft and the drone thinks it is 21 ft that is probably why it dived.

    Possible way point software problem

    I wanted to use the Way point mode for a video that I wanted flown around 10 ft. I tested this at my home and set the way points around 10 ft, I just had 2 way points for this test. My C1 switch would not set the 2nd way point so I just press "set way point". I then went back to the other side...
