    Flying over people and/or moving vehicles

    I suppose as a hobbyist it seems anything goes as a 107 holder it is a no no and for good reason, the first time you have a motor or esc go, or have a power failure and witness one of these things falling out of the sky hundreds of feet up, you might not realize how very dangerous the act of...

    Know when your drone will die

    pixhawk vs naza v2 for t est bed aircraft
