    illegal shooting of drone?

    No I believe we are all aware drones are used in large numbers in both the public and private sector for commercial use. In this case I can’t speak to the use of the video intent the drone pilot was going after. No he is clearly higher than 14’ (average height of second story house). Yes I...

    illegal shooting of drone?

    Sorry disa I disagree and I hope your opinion is the minority on the topic. That type of flight behavior over/next to somebody’s property that you don’t know is what makes all drone pilots look like peeping toms. Not relevant whatsoever the property is a shi___t hole. If this type of behavior...

    Drone Down... What next

    USMC86 (US Marine Core?) If so thank you for your service sir and thanks for confirmation. In addition to the financial impact bad decisions cost I also don't want to be the guy on the news everyone in this/other forums gets documented in the folklore bible of one of "the" guy's that wrecked...

    Drone Down... What next

    One other comment. I read in this thread something about technologies available around airports that somehow can technically scramble hobby drone flights and ground them? I have not read up on this but taking it at face value as being accurate, researched, and proven fact I wonder if this is...

    Drone Down... What next

    I too would love to know what happened. I am nowhere near confident enough to fly over traffic on a bridge. Fly up to it and film it from a distance yes but no way confident enough to run it over freeway traffic. I guess I am a huge wimp hence the reasons my footage is mostly boring nature...

    illegal shooting of drone?

    Missed one very important point. One act is already documented with your local sherif as an illegal act but the other is not. :cool: I hear ya though but wouldn't want to try and explain that scientific gravity fire arm explanation to a judge. YCFS

    illegal shooting of drone?

    I happen to agree with the comments made that this pilot was bordering harassment. It is one thing to fly over someones house at a high altitude and another thing entirely to sit an loiter low altitude for long period of time invading privacy in an obvious manner. We no jack about this...

    Solo is getting a new house.

    Sir, this transplant is awesome. Please take pictures/document how you are going to wire up the bigger ESC's. I am thinking of buying one last Solo in an attempt to revive a waterproof drone I purchased 4 years ago and swap out the DJI gen 1 flight control. I love the drone on the water...

    Crazy prices!

    Got's a feeling I clicked when I shouldn't have. Did you look at the prices? DJI INSPIRE 1 PRO BLACK EDITION for $2,200.00!! (with an extra free battery) It most certainly is a line of BS and I just fell for it out of my frustration @ thinking of paying 300 bucks for a gimbal. The site...

    Crazy prices!

    Well the shipping was free and the price on some items just seems to good to be true. This AM I purchased a gimbal with my paypal and site appears legit. I was unable to find anything scam related via google so I guess we will see.

    New Year, New Solo! Open Solo 3.0.0 released

    Thinking of updating my fleet to Open Solo 3.0 as the install directions now look very very straight forward even for dummies. Have some questions that I was not able to find in release notes. Will Solo still fly with native 3dr app after upgrade or does the upgrade mandate you only fly...
