Okay thanks Capt - that's the hands-on answer I was looking for - I will give that a whirl first, and submit order, second.

so .... not sure if it is broken or if will slide back into place - it is the tiny black clamping bar that goes across one of the duel-ended connectors that connects in the compartment above the camera .... or if this happened to someone else and there is a viable hack ... before ordering a new...

I am now experiencing this issue. Have ordered a ribbon cable but (in the meantime) was wondering if anyone has had any luck in cleaning / reinserting the cables into the connectors? I find it interesting that little noise is present when the drone is not flying, rotors off, more noise not...

Has anyone taken the flight review portion of the small advanced exam, as of yet?

I'll be trying it again this Saturday Night during the first period of HNIC. I'll be pre-programed to get my behind in gear if I'm not around the 40 question mark when the Coaches Corner music cues up!

Shut it down and dry it out for 48 hours, then decide your next step. I often will turn the oven on low, open the door and place it near and adjacent to the heat opening.

First attempt failures will be high due to the diversity/ratio in non-drone specific related subject and time budgeting per question ~ 72 seconds. The good news is that you don't have to repeat a 4 month course to redo the test. 24 hours, a tightened thinking cap, subject specific reviews...

I just flunked the advanced @ 58% , did no study, no review of anything - ran out of time within question #41 - so 58% with 10 questions completely unanswered. It's difficult even with an engineering degree and two years of Uni physics. Two questions were Quebec specific and predominately worded...

Hilarious! "Textbook speakum with heapum forked tongue!"

What about liability insurance? If it's like auto it's of the first things they'll ask you for. And what is happening with DJI's RPAS Safety Assurance declaration submissions to TC? Can somebody from DJI answer this question since this forum is dedicated to their products and this stipulation...

This is a bit ridiculous! Why not make it $100,000 fine regardless of your reason for flying, ….. and death by electric chair! To have a different fine depending on your vocation, when/where lives are at stake and after authorized to receive one's pilot certificate … seems rather inadequate to me.

250gms? May not intended to be, but it's essentially a Phantom cull. The good news is that it may lead to more personnel being hired to deal with all the modalities/legalities/insurance snafus and otherwise. To date it is very hard to get someone who can handle all technical/legal/insurance...

Yes, it goes without saying to steer clear of the visual spray near the waves and ocean surface, but SSA particulate has recordable readings as high as 476 meters above sea level, and up to 3km in land. So, the jury is still out as to what repercussions that the heavier no-see-um particulate...

Moisture is moisture. Density,, air temperature, air channeling of the propellers, vent intake volume, drone component temperature, drone component insulation, and then the conductivity / specific gravity of any particulate violating the drone shell are all apart of the "equation" that may or...

I always catch with my baseball catching hand, which is the left hand. Not at all comfortable, or as orthodox, catching anything with my dominant right hand. Too each their own but catching with the "right" hand as opposed to the hand to the right of your torso - should be the discretionary...
