Wife bought my Solo as "Gift". Here I am.

I didn't even get the drone out of the box and she said "And you can use this to take real estate photos for me"

(She's a real estate agent on the side)

I KNEW it!

Hah.

This this is rad, though. Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum and maybe even contributing.

If flown for anything other than recreational use, you'll need to pass the FAA's part 107 certification and test.

I found the test wasn't too onerous. Used the FAA study guide, watched some FAA podcasts (very helpful), and pored over sectionals til my eyes were sore. About two weeks prep time for me. At least 00dahc already has work lined up! Hopefully his wife pays him. Many others had expectations of great job opportunities, only to find there's not much drone work out there. Oh, and the test costs $150.
