    Parazero and FAA

    I have to be very careful here but I feel a warning might be in order. You can find prices for the Parazero Safeair parachute system from $199 up to over $1100. The difference being the paperwork that accompanies the complete package vs. just the unit itself. The paperwork is basically the...

    Litchi newbie question

    ALSO, when you get the notation DJI Go App. or Litchi always or once: Choose once. That way the next time you fly you will be given that choice again.

    How far/high have you been

    Oh my Drone Gods. You want to fly into clouds, fly above 400', and possibly fly beyond VLOS. Granted you will find people bragging about all these accomplishments in almost every site. That doesn't make it right, it makes it stupid and dangerous. I would suggest studying the remote pilot test...

    Hello, I am newbie here.

    Hello and welcome, Amy, from the plains of Kansas. What system are you using for your photography? Is " Beat Color" your company logo?

    Crashed Standard 3

    My first bird was a P3S. Crashed it within 3 months but learned a lot from my mistakes. This also gave me some very valuable parts for my new P3S. The new bird was also already 200$ less.. I made this a win/win situation (didn't have to deal with DJI either).

    Integration of drones into airspace

    California testing deployment system for delivery of units of blood. Right now I believe it is from the blood bank or point of draw to the hospital in need of that type. Positive reports like this so help to fuel "what if" and "why not" questions regarding our hobby/professional endeavors. This...

    Wanted critical comments - a few of my recent flight clips

    I would slow down your turns and some shots demand a closer view. If I recall you are flying a 3 Standard. Your film is very good particularly considering your equipment. You will only get better my friend.

    Class D airspace

    Okay, I appreciate the lesson. Wow!

    Class D airspace

    Did I misread? Where is Airspace B? Also, you will not be flying in Airspace A and you would not be able to see it anyway... I can't believe your post but PLEASE fill me in if I'm missing something.

    Mobile Insanity...

    I'm old and this set-up makes me feel even older. I'm well educated and it makes me feel awful stupid. Gosh, I wouldn't have needed to have that **** vasectomy.

    So I started a Drone Service: OmniDrone Aerial Video & Photography

    Well, a few months later, how is your business going. Good expansion I trust. The greatest accomplishment for you or any of us is to become a mentor to newbies in this field. If you can accomplish that, your business through sheer osmosis should thrive. Between jobs fly for the fun of it. Good...

    Sd card stuck and pushed right in

    Luckily I have a wife who sows. She had a small pair of needle nose tweezers. Perfect for pushing and gentle pulling.

    Props change & general maintenance p3s

    To answer the question regarding prop balance other than DJI's, I would strongly suggest Master Airscrew props. I have never put props on my quads or even in my travel bag until I have checked and adjusted for balance. The Master Airscrew props have been 99.9% balanced right out of the box. They...

    Oh noooooo... my super-new drone is already gone.

    Did you have your name or cell or "reward" posted anywhere on your quad? It seems odd that one would immediately think of holding your quad hostage unless they had done something like this before OR are just evil.

    Litchi: Failed to load mission, App not registered

    jndalee, have you been able to rectify the problem with no voice from Litchi? The P3S is the bird that has no voice. My P4 goes as far as giving me a choice between GO and Litchi right on the screen. Sorry just noted the date. That doesn't change anything though, I still have no nagging...
