    Questions from a newbie..

    Just a quick note on your comment that the app was warning you about being in an aircraft zone. Make sure that you are up to date on the rules and regs of drone flight. Even as a recreational pilot you are obligated (both legally and ethically) to comply with safe practices. If your app is...

    What I did was wrong on so many levels
