Absolutely correct on the TSA vetting.

Thank you for your informative and adult response.

They're here ... Press Release – DOT and FAA Finalize Rules for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

My ribbon cable came from DJI. Installed properly with no results. Yaw arm was easy. My bird was still under warranty. DJI paid for ship both ways and installed a new gimbal/camera. They retail for over $300. Awesome service. Had it back in less than a week. I attempted my own repair with...

Yeah .. you're pushing it. DJI recommends staying away from anything above 22MPH. The bird will do, I believe, 34MPH. I had a gust take mine out. I live in the Rockies and DJI recommends not flying in the mountains. The gust was over 34MPH as I had full throttle against the wind and it...

What's the bird you're flying since there's audio and P3A has no mic?

Neither does Amazon.

Curious as to follow up. This is not how the Feds work. They'll come to your door with ID, official letterhead stationery, etc. Someone just BS'd you.

Have a RMA from DJI. Shipped to DJI North America in LA. Learned something interesting .. spoke with a authorized DJI warranty repair in Castle Rock, Colorado (I live in Estes Park). I told him this story and he told me to call DJI Support and start the process. He also told me that he is...

Yes .. cities, towns, municipalities can outlaw UAS. Washington, DC .. NFZ. Metro NYC .. NFZ, Syracuse, NY .. NFZ. Is it legal for them to do it? Not according to the FAA .. well, not so much a case of illegality. The FAA is "stating". "Substantial air safety issues are raised when state...

Dealing with same. However, the "green" light you're talking about becomes red once my copter is finished with systems check. Installed new yaw arm and ribbon cable. No problems with reassemble. Followed awesome YouTube video. All connections good and straight. DJI cable from DJI...

Just installed a new yaw arm (that's what you broke) and cable.

I just put a yaw arm and DJI (OEM) cable. Great video on YouTube to help as this was my first repair. Yaw arm is easy but the cable is a bear because everything must come apart. Everything back together and .. nothing. Is that what you mean by "none worked"? The gimbal just hangs .. nothing...

Mine snapped in the same place and took out the cable. New yaw arm from iCarbideTool out of California (CNCd from a aluminum alloy) through Amazon. It's well machined and accurate. I've learned the most important element of this arm is proper channeling for the gimbal cable. I'm a retired...

A metaphor is a figure of speech that identifies something as being the same as some unrelated thing for rhetorical effect, thus highlighting the similarities between the two. You lack credential. Never thought there were trollers in this forum.
