The FAA would prefer you didn't have a drone. So if you want to make them happy you should not fly it.

Generally speaking if your more than 5 miles out from an airport air traffic is supposed to stay up higher than 400 feet. Generally speaking. You can buy flashing beacons for the top of your drone that makes it visible. People are ridiculously paranoid due to government propaganda. A P4 is a...

What are you saying exactly? That State Farm is a fly by night outfit that will refuse to pay a claim? I will run right out and crash my drone for you okay?

Oh sorry not sure about phones

Yes mine is covered

What will a small nick do? Can I fly with it for a week or so till I get a new set? I already flew with it once and didn't notice any heating of the motor or anything.
