    Ufo flies towards my drone

    Can't say I know for sure, but this time of year I see one like it every few seconds. In my case, I have been able to ID them as a floating piece of tree pollen. My 2 cents

    Sharing your video feed with a bigger screen

    Actually I try this months ago with Apple products. My iPad screen mirrored to my Apple TV and it was perfect until shortly after take off when it stopped mirroring. I tried it a couple of times and the same time happened a roughly the same time. My guess is that as soon as it really starts...

    Recommendation on a small indoor practice drone

    I will. Also I am now vacillating back and forth with the Tello. **** you youtube!!! Regarding the virtual maching thing, I am running a very beefed up Mac 5k Retina with 32gb of ram and GB of video ram. I am also running parallels with windows 7. I wonder if that would work?

    Recommendation on a small indoor practice drone

    Thank you. I will probably go with PJD1's recommendation of the Blade nano qx. The reviews are amazing for indoor practice. The tello is of course a way better drone, but still a bit big and loud for practice in small spaces. Also I thought about the DJI flight simulator whih looks amazing and...

    Recommendation on a small indoor practice drone

    I am a comercial 107 pilot and I find that you can get rusty pretty quickly. As I live in the Northeast and the weather is about to get bad it will be hard to stay crispy in the controls. What I was wondering is if anyone can suggest a good SMALL indoor drone to stay in shape. I don't care...

    Colorado family asking for help

    The only positive thing that I would add, is that if you are searching in a remote forested area using a FLIR camera could definitely pick up a stray human. That said the amount of time that’s gone by and the possibilities of an accurate location seem to make the odds swim at best. My two cents

    How do YOU fly?

    I have to use thumb and forefinger or percision as I sometimes get terrible thumb twitch. Anyone else?

    Flying into a Pitch Black Storm - thru flashes of light - Rain and Hail

    Holy Christ on Bike! Dude that sailboat deal leaves me with no words. I have been flying professionally for 4 plus years and I can honesty tell you that you obviously have 2 things that I don’t have. Balls of steel to fly like that, and money to replace a Phantom. Hats off for both! Envy...

    Autopilot no fly zones

    I did indeed. Thank you lazyjack. Yeah I also think that I was hitting the plan icon. Anyway, much appreciated as I am brand new to auto pilot and my only safe practice place was giving me a fit with silly no fly zones. Fly Safe!

    Autopilot no fly zones

    Sure hope someone that knows will answer. I am having the same issue and have even opened up a support ticket with hangar. There is one youtuber that posted a video that I thought was the trick, but it didn’t seem to work for me. Please let me know if it does the trick for you.

    Wow. What a bunch of Debbie Downers! Sure DJI is FAR from perfect Yes, they make all kinds of mistakes. And yes their customer service sucks. Ok, BUT they have also practically invented the category of fantastic flying cameras that even a knuckledragger can operate. I am totally with...

    I thought all of Manhattan was a no fly zone?

    Here's the thing Richard. I am no fan of the government and it's tyrannical regulations and overreach. But I think you can disapprove of the law and also disapprove of the law breaker at the same time. I despise this guy (and I will admit it freely) out of pure jealousy. I am a very experience...
