Thanks, Guys . . . been trying to get over covid . . . mostly there now . . . finally gave up on trying to get an Ipad that would work . . . used . . . seemed there was a catch to all I found. Went to the Ipad store . . . popped 5 bills down . . . brought home a new one . . . works great...

I have flown my P4 with my Samsung phone . . . but want to get away from it. I want an Ipad . . . ipad mini . Just wondering if anyone there has one they would like to sell an old sailor so he can go bird watching and stuff. I'm told a mini 5 would work . . . but want to do a 6 if I can . . ...

Thanks cneedlelman . . . I already made my mind up to take the bird and controller . . . go to the local Ipad shop and make them show me that the 6 will work . . . Or . . . I'll go elsewhere. Generally speaking they have been good folks to deal with . . . long as they don't get stubborn this...

There we go . . . the answer I fully needed . . . ipad mini 6 with cellular. Some day I plan to move to a mavic as well so it will be good to be ready. May God bless, Dwight

Thank you very much . . . may not get a Mavic for myself . . . but may do one for my son . . . will need the pad for it when I'm the pilot

Yeah . . . it was a "no returns" offer on Facebook marketplace

Can you tell me what model of Ipad you are using . . . ?? That gives me a "basic" place to start. I've already got two tablets here at the house that won't even think of running it . . . I'm trying not to buy a third . . . but cannot afford the "newest and greatest" in the Ipads May God...

Thanks Droneted . . . but I was very careful to do that . . . somewhere else I got that warning . . . so I for sure did it. But I did take it out yesterday afternoon . . . flew it all of 5 minutes . . . up / out / left / right / 180 turn . . . back to my location . . . landed And I was some...

I loaded up the DJI go 4 app . . . and when I first got it on my phone and my Samsung Galaxy A tablet . . . it seemed as though all was working. Wanted to take it up in the front yard yesterday . . . nothing doing. I had it all set up in the garage . . . but by the time I got out into the yard...

About 6 weeks ago I bought a Phantom 4 . . . used of course . . . and the fellow who owned it showed me it flew wonderfully. I brought it home . . . got it registered . . . and was getting ready to start my part 107 study to get my license. I thought I'd take it out back and fly around the...

Take the bird to your local Lowes store . . . show em what you want. Used to be you could get a half pint sample of your color for 5 bucks . . . bought a bunch of small batches that way for little touch up projects.

Yep . . . US Navy . . . first US warship to pull into Brisbane in over 20 years . . . ours was Feb 1968 or so. Honestly . . . I could have stayed . . . it was that enjoyable . . . May God bless, Dwight

Lemme toss out a silly question . . . 1. Are we allowed to fly our drones at night at all? 2. If we are . . . are there night vision cameras for the Phantom 4? I have a problem here at my place with animals . . . and if would be fun to be able to track them with my Phantom if it is legal...

Halfway around the world . . . and below the Southern Cross . . . you got it good. Had a chance to visit the Gold Coast . . . little over 50 years ago now . . . enjoyed my stay . . . Have fun there . . . may God bless, Dwight

Thanks GFields . . . one of my big questions I was hoping to find discussions on is the part 107 license and getting it all taken care of. I plan to fly probably 99.44% of the time just recreational . . . but I'm sure sooner or later someone will make a cash offer . . . and I won't want to turn...
