    My new range test record

    Pretty impressive! But, as a Part 107 licensed pilot I need to remind you that you are supposed to keep the craft within line-of-sight. I highly doubt that at the distance you were operating at that you were able to see the drone. Please try to follow all of the rules, whether a hobbyist or a...

    Quarry flight with sudden ATTI mode

    Congrats on getting your craft back! One question that keeps me wondering though. That's the issue with power line interference. I live about 400 feet from a substation with voltages from 12,470 up to 115,000. I routinely fly around, over and close to, many times within 5 to feet of, those lines...

    Tech demo of RID

    You've confirmed my assumption on the FAA proposal. Is the FAA blind as to what a mess this cause! It won't stop someone who committed to using a sUAS for some illegal mission. They'll just use a drone that's either homemade or a commercial drone manufactured before the Remote ID was instituted...

    Tech demo of RID

    With the proposed "network based Remote ID" what happens when you are flying in an area where there is no cell service and therefore, no internet? Would the sUAS be relegated to flying within a 400 foot radius of the controller because of the lack of an internet connection? Not very useful if...

    Poll: How many batteries do you have for your Spark?

    I have 4 batteries. That seems to be a good average number to have.

    My top 5 must haves for Spark

    Have to wonder if the battery issues are just operator error. Maybe the battery was not snapped in properly?

    Spark altitude world record 5014 meters

    It's posts like this that give the drone community a bad name! Keep posting stuff like this and give the FAA more ammunition to regulate us to the point where we won't be able to fly anymore!!

    OK to fly with a prop that has a crack halfway up the prop?

    I just purchased a set of Anbee props (white and red) and they fly great! They seem to be a little more flexible that the original DJI ones (might be a bit more forgiving if hitting small tree branches). Time will tell how long they last. But right now, no problems!

    OTG YES OR NO IN DEC 2018??!

    I'm using a Galaxy J7 Sky Pro with OTG cable and love it! No problems and the app auto starts when I plug in the OTG.

    Waypoints with spark?

    Just tried Redwaypoint today and I received an error message as the Spark was moving to the first waypoint, " Max vertical speed reached." and then the mission stopped. I could not restart the mission and had to bring the Spark back manually. This happened on both mission attempts. Any idea what...
