    Finally had a chat with "authority."

    No wonder you do things wrong! READ my reply - WHERE did I say USA law was wrong?? Followed by a typical juvenile " I complied as soon as I was told" - you KNEW you should not be flying there - no matter you were given lee way by a more docile Ranger. Dress it up any way you want -...

    Finally had a chat with "authority."

    I am not really sympathetic to you .... I am in Aussie and even I know that your State Parks are verbotten to multi- rotor flights. However long ago when I got my P3P - some USA resident asked about flying in Sydney. Now at that time things were not so hyper and a few guys flew in the...

    Convert Phantom 2 FC & NAZA M Lite to NAZA M V2 v4.06/v4.02

    I never thought to check !! I was out flying I had my P3P and a little 450 frame for "manual flight "playtime"and met a guy with a similar machine but with a GPS "puck" and the Naza M Lite - "upgraded" to m2. He said that since he first did this it was OK - but since DJI (understandably)...

    Convert Phantom 2 FC & NAZA M Lite to NAZA M V2 v4.06/v4.02

    I have read somewhere = before seeing this thread - that DJI had changed things in both the M Lite and the M v2 - that both now require the use of the DJI Phantom battery - which would seem to say that anybody building a DIY multu Rotor machine - would need to buy and use a $250 battery...

    Tired of getting harassed when flying my sUAS

    My as new Phantom 3 Pro lays unused and little airtime - for some if not all the problems you wrote of above.... Being a Pom in Australia sometimes adds a downside - from the witless aviation law self proclaimed experts after reading one totally uneducated new report or seen on TV - in...

    Drone confiscated, arrested, put on trial, found guilty, never visit this country!

    Theoretically - you could contact your embassy and report the incident. If you have not broken any laws or created any form of illegal actions( according to the host country's laws or aviation regulations ) you can ask for your goods or their value to be returned to you. As we all know "...

    Just sold my 3rd party battery... Why?

    You bought it knowing it was a clone. You review it and opine its as good as DJI. You have used it without problems...now you decide to sell it! Seems illogical to me. You could simply have kept it as a backup if you did not want to continue using it. DJI can charge what they like...

    Frightening experience

    Although you thought it was a clear and safe to fly area - its possible there was a person(s) near enough to see you and your aerial activities and called the police. Although I doubt they would scramble a chopper just for what you were doing - cheaper to send a car, granted here in Aussie -...

    Crack Repair Kit On Amazon

    Taking note of the UV effects on plastic...and here on Aussie, plant pots etc fall apart in a relative short time...is there any form of "sunblock" that could be applied to the body shell?

    Crack Repair Kit On Amazon

    My concern is....if these plates are fitted ...before cracks appear...will this allow any crack(s) to get worse being unseen. Any gain in glueing the plate over its entire coverage to the skin?

    Traveling internationally - US to Australia - quick questions

    Meta4, it was not about rules ...it was about common sense. Reset this scenario with me going around the White House....how do you think it would go down? The Area in and around the Botanical Gardens, through the Opera House, the ferry terminals and over to the museum of Modern Art, the Rocks...
