    Solex: Edit CableCam in Missions?

    Apologies if this has been covered before, but is there any interoperability between cable cam and missions? I'm new to missions (recently bought the add-on) and feel like it would be nice to be able to create & save a cable cam, edit/adjust it (in missions), and then be able to fly it again.

    I appreciate the info. I can work within the rules to keep things faa-legal, but I'm more wondering about how well it will work.

    Can anyone help me understand what the technical issues are in regards to flying inside of an city? As far as I know, the big problems would be GPS signal and Wifi interference. I've done the mRo gps upgrade and have a decent understanding that gps will be more stable as I get higher off the...

    After Christmas Sale Best Buy

    FWIW, it looks like it's 25% off 3 or more accessories. I got propellers for $5.99 per 2-pack. I'm not sure how good of a deal that is, i'm new to this thing. The 25% did not take money off the $34.99 batteries although the language on the page indicates it should.

    Newbie issue: stuck in tree - any tips?

    So, yeah, first flight and stuck in tree. It's about 40ft up, can't really get to it, and still reachable via the controller. I feel like if I could get the motors to fire up, it would dislodge itself, but the remote won't launch the drone as it's says "Calibrating sensors". Is there any way to...
