Yes, tons of threads on section 333 exemption. That's why I wanted to ask about how I will be using my drone. It wouldn't make a lot of money but money is money and it clearly states that I must have it. So that being said will the FAA be okay with my reason of my request (you're opinion) I...

I'm aware of what the FAA says the requirements are. If having a license or any other stuff that would have been in my question I would have expected a answer for that, thank you for that information though. -Colby

I would agree. But I'm like anyone else out there I would love to have the opportunity to make money using my drone. And of course these local agencies have agreed to pay a call out fee and fuel for my time. So that's technically making money. I really would like to do what I need to to be as...

Sorry if any spelling may be of or my grammar is off. My phone is dying and was trying to hurry and post. Thanks in advance. -Colby

I am preparing to file for my exemption and would like you're opinion. I work for the local Sheriffs department and have been asked on multiple occasions in my county and surrounding counties to help with missing people. (We live in a rural area in Mississippi) I want to be able to help more...

Is everybody a dingle bat or what around here.buddy I'm sure you fly your drone out of site, last time I checked that's not allowed either. Thanks for stating the obvious. My work is a barter and exchanges normally. I made a video for a local water park to use on television and got a 5 year...

I was doing a job for someone for Christmas of their farms. It was a large farm so i was putting in my 3rd battery. I powered on and went through the whole start up process. Well when it connected the picture kept skipping, turning blue then would show a partial image from where I was flying 15...

iMovie is the best I have found!

Wow that sucks brother. Keep us posted if you get it fixed

My bird was updated today. Flew 3 batteries through her. They online problem I had after first start up and going through calibration and check list I fired it up took it to 6 ft or so like always and let it hovered and it began to sway a lot!!! Wouldn't stay in place. Like the gps wasn't...

It's just everybody's fear that something internal will mess up and cause a crash. That's why every time before a flight I power on with no propellers and do a run through.

Thanks everybody. I had tunnel vision and was freaking out, the status showed I needed to do a RC calibration. So u all was right. Thanks! That fixed it right up. I just hope the fear of flying settles down one day. I'm so scared or crashing it. But it one way that's a good thing it keeps you...

Hey thanks for checking on this for me. I have been in able to fly my bird for about 8 days now. Up till now it has been amazing! Around 175 hours logged. Anyway to the point after 8 days I turned it on with the propellers off to do a check on everything priory to a true flight. I tuned my...

I feel ya homie, yesterday I hate 5100 feet I wanted to hit a mile so bad but I chickened out. I never lost signal just boils down to me being scared. I was already nervous because I found a stress crack on my bird!! I have babied her

First let me state, it was my fault. I am not going to be like a lot of others and blame it on DJI. I am new to flying I have around 15hrs under my belt. I was just practicing filming while my wife mowed the lawn. Trying to get better. Well I saw I was getting close to a baby tree and new...
