    Aloha from Hawaii!

    Hello keoniahlo, you better watch out for those military bases, :) - a spot with a radius of 500 m / 1500 feet and alt of 100 m / 300 feet where you are allowed to would be surely ok for a first try. 1. First of all, you find the right spot to fly. 2. Having the spot, you define the GPS...

    Cloud-based GCS: Pilotanywhere

    I get your point. If I just consider me flying my Solo at a location next to my home, then yes, our GCS is not needed. Then it does not make sense. As I posted before, I find it very attractive to fly over a very remote place. And if there is someone who oversees that or not, I don't care. What...

    Cloud-based GCS: Pilotanywhere

    You can think of Pilotanywhere as Twitch for Drones, i.e. you go to a super far-far away location and enjoy flying your Solo with your remote friends. They see your live flight, chat with you or, if you want, even control your Solo. Think of going from the US to New Zealand and give your friends...
