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

    I have 3 or 4 sets of replacement props for each of my drones and always have at least 1 full set with me when I fly. With that being said I would not fly 200 feet up with those at all, but I would mess around at 10-20 feet in my back yard especially if I was planning on flying close to some...

    Violated pigeon airspace

    I am in the habit of always recording. You never know what the camera might see. It also lets you see where you might be lacking or wanting to try different settings. Its easy to delete the unwanted extra footage later.

    Lost my Spark (update)

    There is someone on the mavic pilots forum that everyone has complimented him on repairs he has done for them. For all I know he may even be here? personally I would probably try the J-B Weld or some kind of an epoxy first.

    Spark Max Distance

    Where in the USA are you getting those ranges. Best I ever got with my spark is under a mile? Usually under 1000 feet and I lose signal. Nice distances BTW!

    Registering Multiple Drones w/ FAA

    Register the new drone seperately. It's tied to the serial number. You had to create an account to register the first one. Log in and add aircraft.

    Is upgrading worth it?

    I bought a brand new IPAD 9.7” 2018 for a dedicated drone tablet. It happens mostly in sport mode but it does happen when not in sport mode.

    Is upgrading worth it?

    I just bought my Spark, 5 batteries, charger, etc a few weeks ago and enjoy it but I see I will definitely outgrow it. I want the pro 2 and hoping for a good black Friday or cyber Monday deal. Unless I see a good deal before. But $1400-1500 just for the drone, ouch! My biggest complaint is video...

    Pano mode

    I was reading some specs somewhere and it showed the stitched together panoramic picture had a lower resolution than a single picture? If that is true kind of defeats the purpose? I was hoping for a large high resolution picture? Or maybe I am mistaken?

    Is upgrading worth it?

    I am a couple of weeks into spark ownership. This inexpensive drone is costing me a fortune lol! Adding 2 batteries to the three I have already. My only complaint with the Spark is flight time? Almost got in trouble today as my battery was "critically low, landing", I was over a body of water...

    Am I the oldest drone buyer

    I am 57 and due to an industrial accident I can no longer ride my motorcycle so I am trying this for a hobby. I am 2 weeks in and having fun and learning (and spending).
