Right on Tony. I have found with the mini, if the wind gets a little too strong for safe flying, simply keep it closer to the ground or just wait for another day. I also own the mavic Pro and the P4. Any of these drones can be sucked up by huge thermals on a hot summer day, and you always...

Right on. The weight restrictions they have put on drones in the name of making money from our hobby, for those of us who refuse to get sucked into paying gov more money, the mini has solved the problem. There are people who don't even fly who have set up testing sites in order to make money...

Buy the mavic mini combo... no registration, will cover your property and then some, i suggest the combo cause you get 3 batteries with it and some extras because you will fall in love with it. It will save your recording to sd card. Can view your sd video on your computer. Thats it. Want...

Very nice photo clip, well done, thanks for sharing. Happy Flying

I had a problem once with my P4 years ago. I called the nearest DJI repair to me. They said send the entire unit to us plus transmitter. I did and they sent back an email as to what it would cost to repair. They also said they had a new P4 but it was black and all they had to do was mate it...

Buy yourself an R/C helicopter and you will be "Back in the Saddle again!"

Not worth a reply. Case closed

You are right. Rules and regulations are needed, but what my article was saying is that we dont need some outfit making money off registration fees of everything thinkable. We have all kinds of law officials in every town and city who can check on safety as they do with everything else.

You did the wrong thing. You called the airport. Did you have the co-ordinates of their drones? Are you sure they were in the airport boundaries? Do you have the authority to ask if they are licensed? What you should have done is call the cops, who have the authority to find out if they were...

You are right. We already have police services etc to take care of the fools. My article was concerned about organizations setting them selves up to make money as you said, with all these fees they put on each drone you purchase.

You missed the point of the article. Rules are fine, we need rules for just those people you mentioned. Let the authorities we already have like the police fine them. These authorities are already being paid. We don't need all these fees for some organization who has set up their own money...

You missed the point. Rules are great we need them for butt heads like you mentioned. We don't need the fees that go with every quad copter. Every town and city has its own authorities to check for infractions. Like one reader said, governments of all stripes are quick to empire build in the...
