    It just flew away! - <correction> it didn't fly away at all.

    Symmetry of the bird doesn't matter, as long as you can see it. If you push right stick forward and it doesn't appear to move, you know it's either flying directly away or towards you. While holding forward flight, give it a little left or right yaw and it will appear to start moving sideways...

    Flight Path to Route

    I've often thought about this too. Maybe if you have the KML file you could import it, then edit whatever you need to. Having never tried it, I can't say for sure. It may be worth a shot.

    Demonstration of why Altitude Limits should be removed

    For sure, you are absolutely correct. You do own the hardware outright. But not the firmware. DJI retains all rights concerning their intellectual property, and they merely grant you license to use it.

    Newbee advise

    The DJI hub always charges the battery with the highest charge, first. So you are waiting the least amount of time possible, for a fresh one.

    Demonstration of why Altitude Limits should be removed

    Sorry for the misunderstanding, to me it sounded like you were saying only certain pilots set their altimeters before flight. But you were referring only to field elevation, my mistake.

    "In the beginning" Well said, love it!

    Demonstration of why Altitude Limits should be removed

    Perhaps you overlooked the part of my post that addresses that.

    Could it ever happen?

    And now your making assumptions about me.

    Could it ever happen?

    And what do your statements say about your thought process?

    Could it ever happen?

    That's a bold assumption. Perhaps you should check his bio.

    Could it ever happen?

    Although the electrolyte maybe different, both are lithium ion batteries. He was referring to the technology rather than the batteries themselves.

    Demonstration of why Altitude Limits should be removed

    I might add that so far, all the righteous indignation over the altitude limit has done very little to stifle DJI's staggering market penetration.

    Demonstration of why Altitude Limits should be removed

    True, I didn't see the inner workings of GPS as being germane to the point being made. Just seemed self aggrandizing.

    Demonstration of why Altitude Limits should be removed

    Gotta say, it's rather refreshing to see a little empirical evidence on this subject. I have no idea why DefiantGuy insisted on burying a simple point of view in a mountain of techno speak.
