Try resetting the mission shape and location each time you create a new project. I always back out to the mission type selection menu and then reset the mission location for each new project. I’ve found that avoids saving over projects as you’ve described (on iOS at least).

Thanks for the input. I won’t worry about it unless it gets over 90, since that was when the iPad started acting up. It doesn’t get very hot here in Oregon, only breaks 100 a few days out of the year.

I recently encountered a job that required me to fly in an arid region with temperatures in the high 80s/low 90s. I was able to fly the mission without significant issue, but it got me thinking about how temperate can impact the drone and equipment. I was having to cool my batteries using my...

Yes, they granted my COA for 24 months. Which I won’t need for this particular project, but maybe I’ll have additional projects there in the future. And no, they did not specify the need to contact ATC or anyone at the airport. Although I typically notify airport operations when I am in close...

I’m excited to announce that my first airspace authorization was approved! I must give kudos to the FAA because they processed my request in 3 business days. I may have “nudged” then by calling a couple times, but they came through for me in a short timeframe. It was just a simple Class D...

I do not. I am in civil engineering so I was looking to build new use cases in my field using thermal. But it seems like a promising technology to add to the toolbox for anyone

I found one brand new with a smart controller in the low $3k range. So it would have to be priced low enough to justify going with a used option over new. What is the asking price?

No one with a Dual for sale?

Would also consider the whole package as well. I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have an extra controller!

I read online that using the M2P controller with the Enterprise Dual causes the loss of IR functionality. I’m looking to get an Enterprise Dual but want to verify my existing controller will work with it

I’m curious if all Mavic 2 controllers are the same... i.e. will the controller for the M2P work with a Mavic enterprise, or vice versa? Anyone have an experience with this that they could share?

Looking to get into thermal... I’m hoping to find a Mavic Enterprise Dual aircraft. I don’t necessarily need the controller as I’ve already got an M2P and batteries. Just the drone body and sensor would be adequate. Anyone have one for sale?

It’s better to get involved in professional committees within your industry. They are more constructive than typical membership-based societies.

Best Buy also takes batteries at no cost I believe

I've been using my personal drone within my organization in order to make a business case for UAS. The management is planning to purchase a drone this year for the company, but in the interim they would like to continue using my equipment. So far, I have not charged the company for the use of...
