    Part 107 Pilots - Getting a FAA Medical?

    The medical certificate is certainly over-kill for flying drones. I have had to get one every six months for the last 44 years. When I started it cost me $25.00. My last one in March was $185.00 because being older and having to do the EKG. Leave it up to the FAA to probably one day to...

    Part 107 Pilots - Getting a FAA Medical?

    Yes, I know not required. I guess I meant to ask more about pilots that are working/employed by companies that might require their pilots to have a FAA medical certificate. I have been seeing a big percentage of companies online requiring it. edspilot

    500$ a day for Texas pilots

    If this is legit, then the real issue will be "finding" a motel that will have rooms available the closer you get to the work area. That may be harder to find than 107 pilots to go.

    Balmorhea State Park

    Any chance you could let us see the video, other than facebook, I do not do facebook. When I lived in El Paso, we would go there and give certifications in various scuba courses. Great park in the middle of nowhere! edspilot

    ipad mini 4 or ?

    Yes, sad. BTW, where are/were you located? Normal temps in your area or was this an abnormal day of temps? If I only wanted to ever use the DJI Go Apps, then I would get the CrystalSky, it has a built in fan to help solve the heat issue.

    I'm really considering giving up my dream job...

    Have you checked into the national companies that need/use local drone operators? BetterView & Drone Base are a couple. They provide the jobs and you select if you want to to them. Search this site, there are several that "work" their respective areas. Worth a try, if you have not already...

    (SOLD) Phantom 4 MINT

    Some common questions people looking might want to know from the seller: 1) When was it purchased? 2) Where was it purchased from? 3) From an Authorized dealer? 4) Warranty/Service still valid? 5) Any crashes or "dunks?" Just saves you having to answer later. Interested. edspilot
