    Is registration of a sUAS still required by FAA for commercial operations?

    The federal court issued a final order today (7/3/17) that hobbyists no longer need to register their drones; however, I'm assuming this DOES NOT apply to those of us who fly them commercially (holding a remote pilots license)...is this correct?

    P4 to Mavic?

    From the few reviews I've seen on YouTube it's a solid bird, but it's not quite as robust as the P4. I imagine it will take a few months to get some solid feedback after they've been flown and tested by the DJI hobbyist / pro community.

    Typical government bureaucracy that has no clue and almost costs US / Ohio taxpayers $33,000 for this POS.

    Phantom 4 flown into the clouds

    What is the best software

    You'll get differing opinions. I was a PC guy all my life (programmer) but got tired of having to upgrade my system every couple of years and having to wrestle with my kid's PCs / laptops being slow and locking up after two years. Additionally, operating updates would cause issues and always...

    POLL CLOSED: Results of 107 Pass Rates?

    No, if you fly recreationally you do not need to take the test or have a license. Here is what is confusing a lot of people. This test is ONLY if you plan to fly commercially, and here's the kicker; if you're licensed and think you can use the license to have more freedom when you fly...

    ***Firmware upgrade stalled at 26% help
