    Firmware update problem

    I downloaded the latest DJI assistant 2 app to my MacBook Pro, restarted the laptop and it completely locked up on reboot. The only way I could get it to boot up was to reinstall MacOS High Sierra, which what it running before the download, the latest version 10.13.3. I'm not trying that again...

    And why can't you pull it off of the internet right now? Actual laws that are on the books. Post links.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong but, there are no laws on the books concerning flying drones. Only guidelines. Ignorance is an excuse until there are guidelines packed with every drone. The consumer must be educated. Why don't you try to do the right thing by educating new drone pilots? You, as everyone...

    Question about my first crash

    See my post above. I triggered RTH with the S1 programmed to the toggled down position (failsafe). Then I toggled S1 to the mid position which is ATTI.

    Question about my first crash

    Let me clarify a little here. I programmed the S1 switch for: Up GPS, Middle position ATTI and down position for RTH. So, I had S1 in the down position and it was returning to home but coming very close to a tree so I switched S1 to the middle position for ATTI. That is when things took a turn...

    Question about my first crash

    Ok, here is how it happened. About a week ago I was ending a flight with RTH. It was coming a little too close to a tree about 3 meters above the ground. So I switched to ATTI mode that's when it dropped like a rock! I bent an arm and broke a prop. I have since replaced the shell, recalibrated...

    Got a call from the FAA today

    I work at a large institution, approximately 11-12,000 employees, maybe more. The department I work in has a direct phone line in but it is not published nor are records easily reached on who works where. It would take some digging to find me but I'm sure it's a routine thing for the federal...

    Exactly, one of my points. If they could get my work phone # why not call my cellphone or send an e-mail? Or hell, even snail mail. Why ambush me at work? Not cool.

    Flying without sight of your bird and to mention, that distance is a little risky wouldn't you say? "Last week I flew out to 4.8km (15,700 feet) I was on a slight hill with line of sight (no obstacles between me and the drone but of course I couldn't see it)."
