    Ah, I won't be there until the following Thursday (August 3rd). Will you be there over that weekend?

    Anyone flying in Pittsburgh

    Sorry I'm a bit late to this but I'll be in Pittsburgh next weekend - definitely would be fun to fly with someone else who may know the best local spots for flying.

    Travelling to USA from Canada

    Took a look on Google already and didn't find much info so just thought I would do my due diligence here as well. Thanks for the help and I'll be sure to post some photos and videos - very much looking forward to my first drone flight in the US. :)

    Travelling to USA from Canada

    Yeah, already made an itinerary of spots using AirMap for reference so I'm good with places to fly - just making sure I am doing so legally according to local law.Any idea if Pittsburgh has passed municipal bylaws that restrict "model aircraft" flying or anything to that effect? Thanks! Just...

    Travelling to USA from Canada

    Thanks for the update. Do you know when this was overturned in the courts? Must've been recently from the looks of it. Also, what's the point of having the UAS registration page/form still live on the FAA's website if it's been overturned?

    Travelling to USA from Canada

    Hello all, quick question for my American friends south of the border. I'll be travelling to Pittsburgh, PA in about a week and a half and wanted to pack my P3S with me to take some nice shots while I'm down south. I've been reading some conflicting information (likely caused by the constant...

    Indonesia(Bali) drone laws

    Got back from Bali 3 weeks ago and saw two fellow Phantom pilots there. There are a few temples/sites that have explicit signs telling you to not fly drones in the area (Ulan Danu being a clear temple I remember) but most people still flew drones there anyways. The Balinese are more interested...

    phantom 3 Standard

    DJI website is in USD. DJI usually drops the price of their P3S refurbs occasionally (which come with one-year warranty from DJI) for only $369 USD - about $480 CAD. Price includes tax and shipping. Pretty good deal for a basically new P3S that you don't need to leave your house to get.

    Travelling with a P3

    What is a Lipo safe bag? Never heard of that before. Going to be rocking a carry on suitcase and my drone backpack as my "personal item". Gf works for Air Canada so we're pretty fortunate to have gate agents look the other way when we're boarding with our cabin luggage. I'm actually traveling...

    Travelling with a P3

    Hey everyone, title is pretty self-explanatory. Travelling "down undah" in a couple of weeks and seriously contemplating on bringing my P3 on the long haul to get some sweet aerial shots. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations/advice for travel from previous experience and/or if it is...

    You're telling me! It's such a pain that I need to drive out to the 'burbs to clock a flight everytime. Worst part is that the office I work at is less than a km away from Buttonville Municipal Airport (I know, aviation seems to follow me wherever I go). I might give flying around the lake a...

    That's brave, I'm still hesitant to fly mine anywhere near water let alone the lake. o_O I work from home as well but I live 0.4km (to be precise) from Billy Bishop, so definitely well within a heavy no-fly zone. :(
