I know losing a drone sucks big time. I thought I lost mine in a river doing some practice flights around a bridge. After crashing I searched for like 45 min through a bunch of riverbed marsh. I gave up and started heading home. I was trying to think of what I would tell and show people and...

I use to live in HI (active duty), I would love to see some of your work of the isle's, please!

If I remember correctly, I got that number from the Part 107 training. I thought 2000 was a crazy distance and that's why it stuck out. Someone mentioned that's for manned aircraft which makes more sense.

And what lens are you using?

Wow, living out in the country and should have no barriers to flying. Have you tried inviting the guy to watch you fly and see what it's like? He may be all paranoid thinking that you're able to spy on his family. if he sees what you can, he may relax a bit and not be so freaked out about it.

Thanks! I'll have to look into that further.

I am not knowledgeable about microwaves and how they interfere with operating a drone but this drone looks like it casually crashed into the trees. If anything, I would have expected it to drop like a rock, not oops, trees! look out.

Well that makes a big difference. I'll have to go back and see where I learned that from and how I misinterpreted that. I know 2000 ft is a long ways away if you're flying a drone.

Is that still through Drone Deploy?

I've entertained the idea of expanding to 3D Mapping services but the software is so **** expensive to subscribe to. I've looked at Drone Deploy and I think it's over $800 a month. So if I end up going that way, the fees will have to be above and beyond that for the service.

If you're flying around a cell tower that's got guy wires, you're not suppose to be within 2000 ft of it anyway. I know, I know, there's always reasons or excuses to do so anyway.

It all boils down to pilot responsibility. Flying under Part 107 you know what the rules and requirements are. It's your choice to abide or not, getting waivers or not, etc etc. Is it worth the risk that may be involved? FLY RESPONSIBLY! With respect to pedestrians, I believe the correct...

I'm trying to drum up business with cell and power towers.
