Don't forget the bailing wire, lots of bailing wire.

bsartist, You are correct. People confront me and I handle the situation. That is one reason I am the lead where I work. I can get the job done. When all else fails, they give the job to me. I am also trained in 1st responder duties. I am trained to take charge of the situation until more...

Have dealt with angry people before. It seams they all want to fight until I want to fight. Then they want to run. For example, in my truck driving days I was followed into a truck stop in Brunswick Ga. by a guy in a car. After parking my truck in the parking lot of the truck stop this guy came...

I would also like to see the law where this came from. Sounds made up to me.

You really need to know the laws before you go. You can't get reliable information from workers, police officers, bystanders, or anyone else at the site. It is best if you can show them the law or where to get the correct information or they will make a guess at it.

I voted No. It was a close call. My reason is that he was barely above the highest point of the property in the video as far as I can tell. I feel the property owner owns the airspace up to the highest point on his property. Above that and it is legal to fly up to 400 feet. If he wants you to...

I didn't manage to find them anywhere. They do not sell them anywhere that I could find.

It may not necessarily show in the Serial Number. There may be an "R" stamped or burned into the plastic somewhere in an inconspicuous spot on it. Sometimes the "R" is not seen until you disassemble it.

I had my Phantom 3 Standard Flip one time on takeoff. Come to find out that when I did the CSC to start the motors the right stick was jammed by a piece of debris and did not move ALL the way back to center. When I used the left stick to lift off it flipped. After doing a CSC I now check to make...

I use "ShutApp - Real Battery Saver" created by YirgaLab.

Not only his career and aircraft, but his life. Take a chance at knocking down a drone and lose it all, I would find that hard to believe.

I can understand the portability in a Mavic Air or Mavic Pro. I would rather have the larger size of the Phantom to be able to see it at greater distances with ease. I have even put a red skin on my drone to better spot it at a distance. The white is easy to lose sight of on certain days.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab E and have no problems. It is dedicated to my drone flights. I use an app called ShutApp before my flights just to make sure no other apps are running in the background. There are usually no apps running unless I open them. It works like a charm.

You got that right!

Well, I just had the same thing happen to me. Bird tipped over on takeoff. It turned out to be a small piece of debris in the right stick on the transmitter. It was wedged in the crack at the top of the stick. When I did a CSC to start the motors the stick didn't return fully to the center and...
