Probably, but scuffing the plastic with sandpaper prior to the hot glue has given it a very secure bond, so much so that the shrinkwrap started to stretch when I tried to pull it loose. I have two sets, cree and non-cree, so I'm good should I lose one. Ordered a set from flytron, then a cree set...

I have a Mavic, no apologies, and hot glued mine onto extended legs. Red and Green on the front legs facing forwards, White on the rear leg bracket facing backwards. I shot video at dusk and could not tell they were on until it landed, then it reflected off the driveway. Sure could see where the...

Hi Pokerstar, I've had a Mavic for about a month now and it's kind of daunting to find so many teensy airstrips dotted all over the place to have to call to inform of flying within 5 miles. There's a spot run by a local RC shop, Control Freaks, that has public use something like every second...

I've thought the same, nice to add situational awareness if it can be effective. I live near a pretty busy hospital helipad and small airfield with tower. I've seen new pilots flying too low and emergency runs blazing by at lower than 500' as well. Having some sort of heads up alarm to drop to...

Found it! I can fill my water jugs then head south from there.

If allowed, and you are willing, could you please point to the repair facility in Minnesota? I'm in MN and though (sarcasm on) I'm certain my beginners luck will keep me crash free for nearly ever, (sarcasm off) it would be nice to know of a local repair shop. Thanks, and hopes for best...

I pm'd my number to you. I'm not (at all) familiar with Area 51 that isn't in Nevada. Please fill me in.

I'm up for it! Where's a good place? I have F-St-Sn weekends. Not liking this cold today though!

I lived near Jefferson Elementary back in 1960 or so, could go fishing in Silver Lake. Are drones welcome around that area? I'd come down to shoot the old stomping grounds if it were. 1204 7th Av NE I think was the address. Mom taught it to me well if I still remember this long ago!

I don't know the south metro well, but I'm game. There's some interesting cement artifacts south of the refinery that I'd like to fly around and see if I can guess what it is. Might be interesting shots. Just ate lunch at Farmington Steak House today, so good, very filling.

I just got a Mavic Pro a week ago. I'm in Robbinsdale but further west burbs are 'home' to me. Looking for friendly flying places. Anyone know of off-limits parks I should avoid?

I'm selling the Medina house in about a month, but I do get out to the artesian well between Delano and Buffalo every few weeks for drinking water, looks like an easy place to fly there too. Could use a portapotty though. Next weekend will be a water run for sure.

Just got a Mavic, first drone, everything to learn...

Nicely done!

So what/where have you found to fly? I just got a Mavic a few days ago and am disappointed there's so many heliports and unpaved airstrips to be warned about. I do live within 5 miles of Crystal Airport so flying from home won't be easy, that and North Memorial choppers cruise by pretty dern low...
