Well, I feel that I have received a good education from some good guys, lol! Okay, then, no prop guards for me, lol. I really haven't considered closing in to the point where I should need them anyway, it was just a newbie thought, lol. Thanks everyone. I see your point about sails in the...

Thanks Steviewonder (I am an Ac.Eng. and ex-mix eng. from Nashville, so the Steviewonder thing is cool to me, lol). Maddog, thanks for that info. I can see that if they are really flexible, it wouldn't be much protection anyway, lol. Well it was a thought anyway. I don't plan on getting...

So I was out flying my Solo with a couple of guys that have also been in R/C a long time. They, however, have been long time drone guys, while until recently, I was into Helos and fixed wing R/C units. I mentioned that I thought it would be nice to have prop guards for the drones I would be...

Hey, I thought I would add my 2 cents worth here. I am an Acoustical Engineer (M. Ac.Eng.) and mixing engineer/tech semi-retired out of Nashville. I think I have used most of what is available out there at some time or another, lol. So here's my 2 cents worth... 1) AUDIO "PRO QUALITY" POST...

just_bruce, Too true! I passed, but could've studied harder. Since it was pass/fail, I studied to the extent that I felt competent to pass. I also could've taken a little more time with the test (I took 38 minutes of the allotted 2 hrs). If you are "studying to the test", as J_B noted, you...

Hey! I want one, lol! Where may I ask are the $66 refurbs? That would be fun to play with! Thanks!

Hey, just a note to future testers. I passed my Part 107 this afternoon. I made a decent grade for not having studied all that hard (82). I wanted to share some information with those of you who are going to be testing in the near future: 1) This video has about 90% of what you need to know...

Freebird32...THANKS! Man I love not so far. I think the GPS advice is sound. I plan to do all I can to get a couple more solos and a few parts birds asap. So far so good! Thanks again and happy piloting!

V...Yeah, I'm gonna jump on it asap, lol. I hope to have some extra parts as soon as next week. The gimbal is on for next week as well.

vmaniqui...Yeah, I foresee a lot of "explaining" do to do the wife in my future, lol. I hope to buy 1-2 more Solos for backup, and a couple of parts ones as well. I have several friends in the Real Estate business, and they have been after me to get them some aerials. Maybe their "business"...

cactusops, Thanks so much for the heads up! I would've forgotten that, lol. I do plan to get a couple more GoPros, so I'll remember that good tip. I still have some to learn but it's coming along nicely. Working today on manual flight. Hopefully there will be no crash report, lol. I don't...

So today I got my 3DR Solo in. As a former (and current) fixed wing RC Pilot, I wasn't sure what to expect in the way of flight complexity and fun quotient. I have to say that I am officially hooked, lol! The Solo flew as advertised. Located GPS in about 3min. Stayed locked on. Controls...
