    Obsidian or white?

    I have the same issue of deciding which to buy, White or Obsidian? Overheating and parts availability were concerns of mine, but it doesn’t sound like heat is an issue. I’ll be flying in the Midwest, in Central Illinois and Nebraska. Parts? I should be able to get parts, but not at a widespread...

    Feet vs Meters / Fahrenheit vs Celsius

    I see most of the measurements detailed in “Meters” and “Celsius” in posts and articles. 1. Can the P4P be set to show Feet instead of Meter, and Fahrenheit instead of Celsius (if temp is displayed anywhere) on the display of choice. iPad mini in this case... 2. Do I need to learn the...

    Who owns the airspace above private property?

    Thank you N017RW......you're right, no clear answer there ... So, does this mean that the FAA controls all airspace, or down to a certain altitude? (Sounds like this could be a power struggle between agencies?) Has anything changed since 1946?

    Aerial Group Photo - How far away?

    I hope this can go here............ I have accompany who wants an aerial picture of their 150 employees looking up at the drone. The drone wouldn't be directly above them. I would say it would be at about a 45 degree angle up, maybe closer. How high and far away does the drone need to be...
