    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    Does dronelink only support DJI products? I watched the first part of the video and it appears to not allow camera control at each waypoint? Litchi seems to be the best for me so far to use.

    Props on H Plus won't start unless switch from angle to sport and then back again?

    I gave up after trying to fly the H Plus this morning. It would only rise up to 10' after I finally got the props turning again by going from angle to sport and then back to angle. There must be some deep problem with this bird, so have it ready to ship to Yuneec with a repair order. I bought...

    I searched for refresh build and came up with no results. Even checked YouTube?

    Could you explain to me how to do refresh the build? I think this will solve my problem

    I did do that already. Even contacted Yuneec. No real answer to this issue.

    LAANC not going to be available at civilian contract towers?

    In watching one of the latest LAANC FAA joint webinars I was alarmed to see that contract control tower airports were not going to be issued a LAANC authorization. I live next to one and it is still blue and not green, so I figure that is the reason. I had a waiver COA that has expired and was...

    Props on H Plus won't start unless switch from angle to sport and then back again?

    I get two beeps and a blue light on back of drone when I push the start button. All the latest firmware is installed on ground controller and drone. I did a rebind of camera and drone along with a fresh compass calibration. I looked at the flight message data and it indicates "Not Armed: Switch...

    Part 107 License Renewal

    I honestly believe there is a lot of misinformation regarding the renewal of the 107 certificate after the two year issuance. To retake the full 107 test for licensed pilots that had already been issued the 107 certificate via the FAA 60 question exam and have to take the full CATS test at a...

    Part 107 License Renewal

    I took the FAA free online 60 question test that is offered to licensed fixed wing pilots and received my 107 sUAS license after I received the FAA certificate of completion via email. I then took my logbook flight review within two years endorsement and the certificate to a flight instructor...

    DJI Goggles and LItchi App

    Do the DJI first generation of Goggles work with the Litchi App? If so, what are the differences between the DJI Go and the Litchi in operation and setup?

    Part 107 License Renewal

    I am a real fan of Russ's Gold Seal courses, so know his program is excellent. I already took advantage of getting my 107 certificate without charge by using the FAA opportunity that was offered to already rated fixed wing pilots who had a minimum requirement of completing a flight review within...

    Are 107 Holders really Pilots?

    I am a fixed wing FAA certified Commercial Pilot with Multiengine and Instrument Ratings. Add to that I am a FAA Licensed Flight Instructor, and also a 107 rated drone "Pilot". So my take is that I am proud to also use the title pilot when I mention that when flying my drone for both pleasure...

    Requirements to file for a NOTAM when flying under a COA

    Glad all of you have been responding to this thread. It is a great forum for commercial flyers like myself. I am operating under my 107 with a COA that just mandates adhering to the grid altitudes. The tower chief at my airport also has a copy of the COA and said just follow the COA and...
