My license was issued 3/13/17 and when I login to check the expiration date it is blank. It has the issue date but no expire date. I called and the guy really could not tell me anything other than check how long the license is supposed to last. I called the local CATS Testing center and they...

Does someone have a list of companies that hire drone contractors? I have a few listed here DroneDeploy Helo Perspective AllState

I have signed up and keep getting emails about doing cell tower inspections, but they are not in my area. Any information on what they pay and what the work is like?

Thanks to all for the guidance.

I am a certified part 107 pilot that is working as a recruiter for a large company that bought its first drone. No one here has a license and the drone is more of a toy than a business tool. Currently the Security Director has ownership of it and the HSE guy has used it. They also want me to...

I am in Houston with part 107

Sorry about the delayed response. The 8 people that emailed me I sent the guy's name and phone number to. He called me to see if I was interested but could not do it due to other work. He does not sound that knowledgable about drones. He is a emergency response guy. I did not like the idea...

No this is not a scam. A friend called me today and is looking for 3 107 pilots and 3 want to be's to work the disaster area in Texas. $500 a day, 50 PD and $125 for housing. This offer is like a ripe banana they want you to start ASAP with a 1 day training in in San Antonio. The down fall...

I need esc for p3p

I am a certified 107 guy doing a real estate shoot out in a rural area. I was just about done when I flew backwards to get a wide angle shot about 100 feet up. The lot sizes are about 1 acre. I crossed over the other guys backyard at the back of his property about 150 from his house. He shot...

From what I have read and my experience with DB here are my 2 cents. Out of all these posts only one person Davemex said he was getting client missions. Frankly I don't believe him. I live in Houston and I email back and forth with a guy named Nick at DB and he said he would send over client...

I would only shoot real estate at dawn or at dusk it will set you apart from most people. I also shoot in dlog. Use an ND filter of 8 or 16 for video. And if you are shooting stills take off the ND filter, unless it is high noon. If you are shooting video do not select AWB- change it to 5000...

At this time I have submitted 3 and got paid for 2. I asked Nick at DB why the price was so low and he said it was probably sold to data company and not the realtor. I am going to shoot some panos and try to stitch them together myself and try selling them. I also asked him about commercial...

I flew 3 missions and got paid on 2 of them so far. $20 on one and 25$ on the other. If they are splitting it 50/50 the realtor is only paying $50 bucks? I think that is pulling down the price of the product. If I were dronebase sure it would make sense to sell it for $50 bucks and take $25...

Sorry but that is the difficult part of the test 007 is 700 feet not 7000.
