Thank you for your thought. I am not "announcing it very quietly" I'm asking members about a thought. It's not a plan. I only want to be legal. I am not trying to hide anything. That's why I'm asking this message board.

Thank you for your info

Nothing to say

It was an ambulance helicopter flying low along the river route in cottage country. It did not fly directly underneath me. But close enough. I was higher than the helicopter which was low-flying. Once I realized what it was I was hearing, saw how low it was and saw where it was in relationship...

Thank you for the link. Will follow instructions tonight. Here's a pic of my location. The rectangular piece of wood on the road is my take-off location. I've been launching from that spot for the last year and a half. Never saw red. I'm feeling nervous about flying. Things that have made...

Should I do the upgrade it's asking me to do? I'm reluctant to do an upgrade before a vacation. I'm going to Italy ( Cinque Terre) in 2 weeks. Or just recalibrate everything here and in Italy and remember to fly in Atti if I loose GPS?

How do I up load the logs? Thanks in advance

I haven't calibrated the Compass in a few months! And The electrical wires lining my street seems could be my answer to the Compass Error. And thanks for letting me know that the bird will drop the GPS signal when there is a Compass Error. Now that I look at the screen, I see that it switched...

Thanks. Lesson learned!

was flying in my usual spot at the end of my entrance on the road. There are 4 heavy electrical wires above the entrance but I never fly over the wires. I always stay clear and fly the other way for the last year and a half. Never had a problem. Tonight, after confirming GPS location I went...

Great shots! I liked it.

No trouble travelling to Mexico from Toronto with drone and secured batteries in my carry-on. One time the agents asked me to pull the battery out so that they could swab it. I complied. He tested. Everything was good to go. -Put the props and any projectile in your suitcase. -Drain your battery...

I would expect to be caught if I was flying over the coliseum, that is just foolish. Being discreet is the key.

Do you know if Rome is a no fly zone? -I plan on renting an apt. unit on the top floor of a 5 storey building with a private large terrace (perfect for launching safely) in Rome, in-between Piazza Venezia one way the Colliseum the other and over-looking the forum straight ahead. I only want to...

I'm sure it's perfectly fine to carry-on your props. Wrap them up and place them at the bottom of your case. Make them invisible. I just take extra precaution as they could be perceived as a weapon by a paranoid security agent. Coming back from Italy my carry-on was scanned, I had the bird...
