    Registration

    I just got my replacement refreshed spark and didnt realize I could edit the serial number on the FAA site so I just registered a whole new number so each spark was uniquely identified and my damaged one is still active in there system. As far as labeling I used Avery 8660 clear labels and made...

    Refresh spark, new FAA Numbers

    Now that we mailed my spark to Texas today to have it refreshed will I have to re-register with the FAA and get a new number since it will be a new serial number or will my old one still be sufficient? Also can you renew refresh after getting a refurbished unit because my refresh expires...

    Crashed twice today

    I will eventually try learning and using Litchi, I was just going to wait until after my 1 year period to use it. I have tried it on a couple flights but not long.

    Emailed last night and got response this morning how to file. Will I need to send the remote or just the drone?

    Crashed twice today

    Just logged in to DJIGo4 and looked at the video imagery and the whole flight was 30 seconds, climbed to 30 feet, battery showed 93%, saw a propulsion limited to protect the battery output failure displayed and it threw a critical battery warning and went 0% and fell out of the sky. You can see...

    Crashed twice today

    When it came down deadstick it had dipped because I was in a climb so it literally landed right on the right prop. I was half expecting to see the gimble broke. Just looked up to see when I ordered my spark and I ordered it Nov 8 got it around the 11th and ordered refresh around the 12th. I will...

    First flights of Indiana spring

    For sure, and the drive inside the park was absolutely beautiful with a few pullovers that just overlook the rolling hills and trees as far as the eye can see.. Thanks for the Wiki on the history of the mail pouch barns, I never knew the history behind it but have always been fascinated with...

    Out of beginner mode

    I added 3 videos to the Photo and Video section. I know the videos are a little jerky and have some flexing but that is because I keep hitting the right stick to try to turn instead of the left. This will get less noticeable the more time I get to fly. Hope everybody likes my videos.
