    US Flyers: FAA Reg # Req'd To Be Displayed Externally

    I used a standard labeler and trimmed it as small as I could. It’s just plastic so never had an issue. Been on there since October when I got the drone.

    Small airport denies permission to fly.

    Just a note to add to this thread...On Thanksgiving Day, I went to launch my Spark at a friend’s private RC track and the DJI app placed a notification on the screen of my iPhone that basically said I was near an airstrip and did I agree to fly safely? It would not let me respond “yes.” (The...

    DJI signal Loss

    I had a similar experience. I figured it did an automatic update or something...turned that off after that. I run with direct connect exclusively on my (ancient?) iPhone 6s. Some advise switching to “Airplane Mode.” Anyone have thoughts on that?
