    Ipad mini 4

    I use this ipad not just for droning but in my personal life as well. The GPS is great as a navigator in the car as it is larger than a cell phone and I like to look around a map esp if I'm lost!

    Ipad mini 4

    The ipad mini 4 with cellular/wifi has GPS and the wifi-only does not. With that said, you do not have to purchase a data plan to use the GPS. That's what I do. So paying a little more upfront will save you in monthly costs in the long run.

    How to handle the cops...

    I pull out my 107 cert, the LAANC notification showing FAA approval to fly certain coordinates at a certain time, and my liability insurance policy. They see that I'm a responsible flyer and they leave. And sometimes they even go back to the crackpot who called them and will "educate" them.

    bad news from faa for recreational flyers

    If DJI cannot make money off of LAANC, you'll never see it.

    No pictures showing that he really cut off his arm!

    HAWK attack

    Correct. They literally drop out of the sky with wings tucked but then cannot suddenly change course and go up. They have to circle around and get above again. This is when you skedaddle!

    Hawk Attack While Flying My P4P

    Birds of prey attach from a downward direction. They circle above their prey and then fold their wings close to their body and drop straight down like a bullet. If you ever want to really get away from a bird that will literally kill your drone, the tactic is to GO UP when they attack. They...

    Flying around a house fire is wrong, right?

    Well, you really told him off! "I was not saying your content was bad...I was trying to inform you...I was trying to save you thousands of dollars in fines...you did a good job...I looked into it further and its not illegal." Look, if his action pissed you off bc you know he broke the law...

    Military aircraft flying low in open airspace?

    Flightradar24 is a GPS tracking app I use that checks aircraft in my areal Real Time. I set it to "under 1000' " to scan for low flying helios, gliders and small aircraft. It's pretty accurate though my ears and eyes are more so. This app, however, does not check for attacking hawks protecting...

    If in the New Jersey, they'd get you on the beer. :rolleyes: New Jersey Makes It Illegal to Fly Drones While Drunk

    Thought I would have a quiet flight then invaded by teens.

    My thoughts while watching: Was hoping one of the guys would have tumbled over the railing. Not for get-backs, strictly for entertainment purposes. When the flashing girl left the scene, the drone should have followed her. She would have loved it. And maybe she would have moved to a higher level...

    New Flight Simulator

    I couldn’t install it. Said I had to buy it. Did you buy it?

    Scared to fly too far....

    I think it’s wise to be conservative when flying. There are a lot of reckless free spirited flyers posting their “accomplishments” but that doesn’t mean they are the ones to follow. It’s the ones that push it to the limits that end up either losing their drone or making a catastrophic mistake...

    DJI Aerial Photography Academy

    I just came back from the latest held in Philadelphia PA. Bottom line is, if you're a photographer who know anything about shooting on Manual, shooting brackets, and using Lightroom, then don't bother. And if you're a DJI drone owner who feels competent with the DJI Go app, then don't bother...
