Just curious, do you have problems with people that drive by your house in their car (which comes much closer to your house)? I can see having an issue if the drone was trying to peep in the windows or hover over the back yard really low (much lower than this). Airplanes fly overhead our house...

Thanks, all! I re-installed and yep, it cleared up the problem!

For the past 2 years my DJI Go app has been working very well on my iPad Mini (most recent model for the past year). In the last couple weeks the map has vanished. I'm at home and connected to Wi-fi. When I open the app and select Camera, the map in the corner remains gray and the scale changes...

I had no problem on my short flight from PDX to SEA yesterday and no problem going from SEA to LIU. Both flights were on variations of the Boeing 737. So, Alaska's height (laying flat) requirement of 10" is off. No one checked my size and it fit in the overhead but with not much to spare...

Thanks for the response. I won't be on smaller craft, an Alaska Air flight both ways.

So you believe that the airlines won't squawk about the posted dimensions and how my pack is off by 2" in one dimension? I agree it should fit the overheads but wouldn't want them to mandate their posted dimensions. I'm less on length so cubic size, I'm under their limit, just off on one of the...

Which app do you use the M31 LUT with?

andeeec, thanks for the updates on your adventures going on now. 2nd2non thanks for the tips. I welcome any additional suggestions and tips you might have on where to go and where you can't go. I know what you mean about state parks and avoiding people, as I had a bad experience at a state park...

I am heading there myself, too soon. I was concerned not only about the helos but also the 5 mi radius around airports. Any others have advice/suggestions on how to stay out of trouble flying on Kauai? I assume flying in any state/national parks are blocked? I would also like to know how windy...

Sorry for your loss! It's a terrible feeling when it happens. I had my P3a crash and it's a sickening feeling. I don't have any experience with analyzing the flight data but after watching your video, my first thought was that it hit a bird. The flight is smooth and controlled but the change to...

If they make searching by ID Number, Name or Address available to the public that will mean a web page search form that allows you to type in anybody's name, address or ID and see what comes up. I don't think anyone knows how closely they will follow the Privacy Act or how they will implement...

True but I would think misrepresenting accurate information on that form could be a finable offense. Do you want to risk their umpteen thousand dollar fine? or hassle with legal fees to fight the FAA? I don't.

When I'm flying at a public location such as at the beach, it would be challenging to associate the right vehicle (mine) with the drone owner. Yes if someone was very determined to track you down they probably could. But why make it easy for them? I think that search should be limited to the ID...

From the article... " Not considering this a clear answer, I replied, “my reading of the DOT policy is that if someone requests the name and address of a drone registrant the information will be released by the FAA....” I got an answer that may not make many hobbyists very happy." The...
