Appreciate the detailed feedback will definitely use that as my checklist. I bought the drone to explore and be spontaneous this nonsense of having to deal with contradictory rules really takes the fun out of it. I understand airspace, land use for takeoff and landing and property ownership as...

Is the body of water a federal property? If not I am not sure how the state can impose restrictions on federal airspace. I know they like to try, like so many they are ignorant and or scared of drones for no good reason other than to try and exercise some control. I will see what comes up from...

Appreciate the feedback. Unlike govt controlled airspace I am not sure states or towns can restrict where I fly just where I take off and land. I took a 107 prep course and it was made clear states do not control airspace and therefore can not regulate flight. I will take the advice of previous...

I am looking to see if any regulations or restrictions exist on flying over public water sources. There is a beautiful reservoir by my work and would like to take a flight and check it out but as usual am looking to make sure its kosher. A search in google yielded nothing. If it makes any diff I...

Understood and thanks for the info. I know having visual sight of the AC is comfortable but at distances where technically LoS is in play, barely, you really dont have the perception to navigate safely unless in a wide open area. I feel better seeing the AC while operating but have come to...

I dont believe question has not been answered at least not to my satisfaction since no specific comparison based on standardized technical and performance comparison has been done or that I could find. As of now what seems to be available is anecdotal or opinion based but what is clear from...

Unless moving to N Korea or Pakistan or the like hard to believe drones not allowed.....must be a scam

Does anyone know what is the requirement for number and placement of strobes to be 107 compliant? Also does anyone have the link for the FAA waiver database so one can review previously submitted waivers? On the issue of determining orientation/direction at a distance using strobes dont expect...

Did I post a puzzler or is there no specific guidance on the number and placement of strobes to be 107 compliant?

How many strobes and what are the placement points for 107 compliance? I see cree has packages with 1-4 strobes but if 1 is all that is required under 107 1 is all I would buy for now.

Thanks Meta4 for that info. Pricing is about the same, maybe 20-40 dollars difference from what I see so far but will do a deep dive into it and see what develops. I think the issue is to view the flight tab as just that, not a combo device for personal use as well, being a Mac house hold I...

Thank you.

Well I appreciate that, I will look LItchi up and see if I can test drive today without having to commit to a subscription or purchase. Would the other apps mentioned be the best choice(s) for the remaining needs or are there better alternatives? Thanks again for your input.

Thanks for the response. Right now for recreation but will be for commercial by the fall, I fly the p3p and will either be adding to my fleet or moving towards the Inspire or a combination of the two for flexibility and ROI at least that is the plan as of now. I want to ensure that I am...

I am considering using google docs for this unless an app exists that provides really stellar results or benefits. You can build a list from this app or other info on the web and create a docs template and store them on google drive. A preflight list is one of those things you can make without...
