    Irate Neighbor Said I was 'perving' on her!

    I suppose it would be wrong to take aerial photos of her sunbathing, print them, then air drop the prints around her neighborhood. Yeah, that would be wrong.

    The Future of the Skies

    I can imagine two scenarios 1) It pans out like the sci fi from the 50s...it doesn't 2) A person born 30 years from now will think what what is from now the future is the way it always was. i.e. self transport drones have been around since the caveman. Makes me want to re-new my 107...

    Dji go "enhanced warning zone"

    Annoying isn't it? I have the same issue. Not just that, but obstacle avoidance turned off, accept responsibility, Safety, over and over. I just hit the x and move on. Over the years this has become more and more prolific and annoying. I think that if you use NLD, or Litchi then you won't have...

    Obtaining License or renewal during Covid?

    Hi...my part 107 became non-current (as opposed to expired as they never expire) in March.

March is out of luck even though testing...

    DJI Phantom 4 PRO - RANGE TEST

    I think DJI products are reliable enough to go the distance. I think it's interesting that DJI introduced the risk to line of site at 1400 meters, which is roughly 85% of a mile. Very generous of them; especially only being a warning, as opposed to, "Who you kidding? You can't see that far...

    How do I find out what Drone model my Phantom 4 is?

    If you are trying to tell the difference between the P4 Standard, and the P4 Advanced, or Pro, then look at the air vents on the underside of the 'arms'. If there is a more or less solid grid then it is the P4 Standard. The Advanced, and the Pro have space between the slats of the vent. Look...

    Don’t need to fly high for unique perspective.

    Nice. I have been doing more and more low altitude flying; especially with goggles. I have seen enough roof tops and tree tops. Only concern is risk of thin obstacles that you can't see until it maybe too late. Otherwise, even P mode speed seems fast. You really have to have your wits about...

    DJI in Trouble?

    that's odd. I would have thought drones were essential products.
