    Isn’t this 107 stuff complete overkill?

    To you it may be only $150, but to me that is quite a bit of money.

    Yes that's the whole thing I'm getting at, we need a division, maybe more than one to separate the large commercial aircraft from the small ones. As was mentioned I will probably never fly mine over 200 ft. or out of sight.

    Isn’t this 107 stuff complete overkill?

    That's the bets description I heard for That's the best description I've heard. Something needs to be changed and I think you described it perfectly, I think someone good with legal speak should get a proposal written up and present it to the powers that be and maybe something could be changed.

    Volunteer Search and Rescue

    What do we need to do to get these rules rewritten? It is totally ridicules to have the rules written that prohibit one person from helping another or organization in times of need. Their reasoning as to what qualifies as commercial is wrong. If you are not making money off the operation is...

    New pilot here, well have had the aircraft a while just haven't had enough good weather to fly much. I'm old enough that my eyes aren't what they used to be even with glasses. Just wondered if any of the more experienced pilots had a good way to keep track which is the front and back when it is...

    OK, just curious, seems like the drones are stricter regulated than actual aircraft. Thanks.

    If I am understanding all I read on the flight rules and regulations for drones they need license and registration under certain conditions, but I can buy a powered hang glider and fly myself around the countryside without any license and just use common sense? Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

    dji go problem

    Boy! If it's not one thing its it's something else. Thought I would go into the app again and try it again, now it says I have to upgrade the firmware and after watching the tutorial and viewing the comments it looks like this might open up another can of worms. Not sure what i'm going to do now.
