I thought the prop broke when it it the ground. Now I understand. It was the prop snapping that caused the crash. No way to prevent that other than preflight inspection which you did. On a side note, it’s a good example of why not to fly over people. You never know what could possibly happen...

Ouch! That stinks. Why did that happen? Does it still fly. Looks like it may snap back together.

I get these about once a month. Thank you for posting so maybe if someone gets it for the first time they are alerted. I did a job last week, and for the first time in 6 years in business I may have been hoodwinked. I'll know tomorrow and if I got ripped off I will post it for others. Basically...

Haha. I hope it’s not the Sony BetaMax drone.

From the air it looks like a nice joint ?

It is a good side business to supplement other income, or for a retired person to make some side cash. I think there are many operators who do commercial sUAS work that is not their main source of income, but it generates enough to make it well worth while. My investment has paid for itself...

We are selling our Aerial Photography business that has been well established for over 5 years in the Charlotte, NC area. We have built an extensive portfolio of clients primarily in Real Estate (Commercial & Residential), but also includes Construction and Land Development. Our asking price is...

Just take the file to staples and they’ll print it

He is saying that if you are flying under part 107 (ie; for commercial reasons), the drone needs to be registered. In that case you are a part 107 operator. However, a certified part 107 pilot can also fly for recreational purposes, in which case the quad under 250 grams does not need to be...

I find Airmap to be more intuitive and easier to use. I use the iPhone app and get instant authorization. Try Skyward and see which you like better.

You're welcome. I"m only a few years behind you. Havin' fun too. ;)

Honestly I don't know enough yet to give you a good opinion. It looks like an awesome machine. Big 5". Question is would Fatsharks be good too. Reason I say that is with DJI you have to install their vtx in every drone you own. It also looks like on the Lumenier you'll have to de-install the...

Nice flying. Looks like you're really having fun with FPV. The sound of static would have been better background noise.

Nice going. It was nice of the town to build such a nice course for you. Video was good and flight time was good too. Hey, that ending is my trade mark ? Nicely done.

I agree! The TH Freestyle is really a nice little machine. Very powerful, longer flight time and flies beautifully. Only issue I've experienced is the video transmission. I lost video for a few seconds mid flight and was flying blind. Scary as hell but when I got it back I recouped. Overall I...
