I have a P3 Advanced that's been sitting on the shelf for 18 months. I went to power it up and noticed I needed to update the Drone & camera. I can not seem to get it done. The drone does nothing with the bin file. it currently has 1.9.60 on the drone and 1.9.3 on the controller. i'm trying to...

Sooner or later some bird will bring down your bird. Swallows and purple martins love to send shivers up my spine. It is only a matter of time before they get me.

That works well if you live near the border. Over 80% of Canadians don't. So, they need a reasonable service.

The cure for: "we do not ship to Canada" Lots of vendors ship their products to their customers in the lower 48 for free. Some vendors do not ship to Canada at all. What you need is a USA address with someone who will get it through customs and ship it on to you. If you are in the West use these...

There is no such thing as; "best". That only lives somewhere deep in your mind and the minds of the computer engineers who design these things. Good luck in your search. I take the approach that they are all junk, just some are a little less prone to being a problem.

I can't get DroneDeploy up and running. I can't get past the check list. It just sits there checking way points and the bottom one. Everything else gets the OK check

That's right...you can't regulate stupidity.

The OP wants to know, quote: ", i won't to know if there are any rules that says i can't fly my drone around my countryside" Unfortunately that involves the legal interpretation of the rules.

Why are you attempting to argue with me. The mod doesn't take to argumentative behaviour. May I suggest you are the one in the wrong forum

The chances of that happening are going up exponentially as I speak. Flying higher, bigger batteries and every month there is 3 million more roaming the skies. Most are Chinese junk that will eventually burst into flames. Just Google " lithium battery burns down house" Even Tesla can't get it right.

You can't take your motocross bike out on the highway doing wheelies. The cops do not even need to look at the FAA regulations to ticket you. Stunting, public mischief, endangering peoples property and around 15 more eligible charges plus lose your drone till courts over. Hey!! give it a shot...

The maximum of 400' is to keep you out of air traffic. You buzz my house and the cops will have your drone. That is why Amazon can't use drones to deliver packages. FAA will not issue a license and no one will insure them. If your drone crashes on my roof and the lithium battery shorts out it...

Rules are you must have a licence & insurance to fly over people and their property. Cessna or Phantom you got to be a minimum of 1000' AGL flying over built up areas. Out in the country its 500' AGL You fall out of the air and hit someone the victim will end up owning just about everything you...
