    Anxiety while flying the bird

    I came across something about drone insurance. I own a spark and mavic air. I live one hour from Philadelphia. State farm insured my mavic air for $30/year. No deductible.

    Is spark a short lived hobbie?

    Is spark a short lived hobbie?

    Flyaways - How does DJI handle? Lost Drone

    It's still a machine. My car malfunctions once a year. Why would a $500 be perfect? Once I relax I know I will have more fun... But I love it already

    Flyaways - How does DJI handle? Lost Drone

    Just two flyaways ? I'm going to the store to buy 1000 ft of fishing line! In thinking of putting my phone number on the bird w $100 reward for calling (and returning)... Anybody ever did that?

    I bought a loc8ator on Amazon. Came w base (size of credit card) and two tracking devices.$75. I like it bc it's directional. Go to YouTube there are some good videos. Bc I am still flying it like a kite it's hard to lose above my bald eagle head lol... But you never know

    Flyaways - How does DJI handle? Lost Drone

    I am still a newbie so I have not used sport mode except when it got in autolanding for no reason. It handles well but reading about all the issues got me nervous like a parakeet at a cat show when I fly. For now I keep it at 150 high basically above my bald head
