    Leo I believe you are referring to the FAA TRUST certification. Here is the actual FAA ruling on the issue. "The law requires that all recreational flyers pass an aeronautical knowledge and safety test and provide proof of passage if asked by law enforcement or FAA personnel. The Recreational...

    Just an FYI if you are thinking about getting you 107 license here is a free study guide which will show you just what the license entails, I have no idea if it is adequate to prepare you to take the test but hey it's free and if nothing else it will prepare you to spend the money to take the...

    That's why it climbed to a new height before coming home. It happened so quick that it surprised me and I kinda lost sight of the drone for a few seconds.o_O:oops:

    that feature is both awesome and scary. It work as advertised but it is scary having the drone take off on it's own at break neck speed. It was down the street last time it tried it and the thing spun around,climbed to a higher altitude then a accelerated to some high speed came to a stop above...

    Boob Tube Help?

    I have starlink an have had it for a few year, very happy with it. It's not the cheapest @ $120/mo but I guess it depends what other options you have.

    yes I went ahead and got it also, cheap enough I can see why you might want that I will probably go for that also. For now I'll just do the FAA TRUST training so I have the proper knowledge as far a recreational flying goes.

    well I had my first flight, I flew it in the house for the first flight then took it outside for it's first flight. lots of fun, I can see where this is going to be a steep learning curve. the collision avoidance kept going off in the house but that's ok at least I know it works. It also went...

    let the fun begin...... well as soon as the batteries get charged up...lol this is the dji mini 4 Pro. I went with it for a number of reason not the least is this has 360 collision avoidance and the latest and greatest features too numerous to tell. It is an ultra light but you can upgrade the...

    I pulled the trigger. I opted for the pro version since it has 3 way crash avoidance.

    well after watching a few hours of vidios it looks like the dji 3 mini pro is what I am looking at, I am leaning on spending the extra money and getting the rc controller with the built in screen rather than using my cell phone, the cost difference is about $150 but the real time video will b...

    and there in lies the dilemma. For my use money is not the concern BUT for the drone club that will be another matter. I am sure that for the club we will need multiple lesser expensive models to get the kids started and learning the basics and crashing a lot. Then have a few of the higher end...
