Not sure anybody addressed the question of legality. If your drone goes out of sight, you're not legal in the US. But I certainly get the attraction to clouds and smoke plumes.

I've had a couple of fly away issues. But they've all been related to having a LOT of steel in the vicinity. Skimming over railroad tracks and flying too close to very large all steel structures. Neither of them caused real damage as I always have a plan for ditching if takeoff is a problem. It...

Which two? And are you in the northern or Southern Hemisphere? Sorry, just kidding. I'm developing a little bit of a whine in one of my motors too. But only when powered on. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots
