    Any reasonable priced drones that can go 40 miles?

    This is what gets us a bad name. Fly within line of sight, that is a rule people like this come into the hobby then mess it up for all of us and then wander off and mess up another hobby. I hope he Doesn't own a gun.

    Stadium flying

    Hi macoman, I thought I read somewhere that you could fly over stadiums in the USA until about 2 hours prior to a game. I am investigating whether we have a similar ruling. I do know that someone was fined for flying over a stadium in the north of England when a game was played.

    The end of the saga!

    I agree, however I use Litchi for missions WITHIN SIGHT and that is great. It's a lot of money to lose if it flies away.

    P3 Firmware Firmware update with the new dji notice

    You are controlled by big business. Why do you have this problem with so called communists. DJI have only brought in NFZ's in their latest update. These stop idiots like you from flying near to airports. Yes go and buy other products.

    It just flew away! - <correction> it didn't fly away at all.

    I am amazed that DJI replaced the Mavic. No wonder we all have to pay so much for our AC's. I nearly lost my Phantom 4 on the South downs in the UK. The wind was non existent at ground level but at 200 feet it was blowing my bird away. I had to go into sport mode to make headway and return. DJI...

    First Drone Aircraft Collision? Ahh Nope

    I'm in agreement with these sentiments. I have upgraded to the new software for my Phantom 4 and agree with the NFZ controls. I am in the UK and we don't have as many airports as in the States but ours are busy International ones. If it stops one lunatic from flying near planes then it has worked.

    Being a hobbyist drone pilot actually pays

    As neon we are in the UK and are more relaxed about things than in the good old USA it does not have to be all about the law. Chill out you USA drone babies.

    Don't moan my little drone

    Hi mate, wrap your phantom in kitchen roll and put it in a large box such as a waste busket and fill with cat litter. Leave for a few days should be OK.

    how you do it?

    What is the obsession with distance? The law is clear. The drone should be in sight at all times.

    Drone crashes into house

    All these comments make my methods of flying seem more logical than ever. I don't fly in my neighbourhood, I go to beauty spots and fly at dawn or dusk when no one is around. I Particularly like night flights using litchi. People don't like Drones for some reason and I keep away from them when I...
