Drones are Up, why do you ask? Welcome from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA. Fly Safe…

Stu, What a wonderful "novel" you wrote, I turned it into just "two lines…" I copied it into Microsoft Notepad and turned off word wrap… L o L . . . My wife is also quite understanding, but not to the extreme your wife is… I served in the US Air Force for over 30-years, I was a computer...

Welcome from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA. No recommendations for an alternative drone, to each his/her own… But what you really need to do it research what it takes to start a Drone business… Folks think all they need are some flyers (printed advertisements…), some business crds...

Stu, What an epic novel you wrote, I'll tell you this, even though I started flying U-Control place in the mid '50s, and even flew Pulse Radio Control in the early '60s, I never went to the extreme you have and if I was your wife, I would have kicked you can to the curb long ago… L :LOL: L...

Oh boy, have you asked for it… But first, I was stationed at Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo in the mid '90s and my Harley group would ride all over the hill country and we usually took the back roads and I've been to Pipe Creek on our way to or back from San Antonio and we would stop at some...

When the LAANC authorization comes to your phone, copy the screen and email DJI a copy as proof… I also advised you in earlier postings to watch YouTube Vides on the use of LAANC and the DJI Geo Zone, have you done so? It may take a few videos to get the process down…

Just be aware that the DJI Geo Zone map still has many "closed" airports with restrictions and I've read where members have not been able to get the zone unlocked… The members said the email from the FAA did not satisfy the DJI staff… because it was not an FAA Waiver or Authorization…

I believe you are located in the vicinity of Stratford, Connecticut or just north of there. Yeah it's a mess, but I have it a whole lot worse when it comes to DJI and the FAA… Yeah, there is a lot of controlled airspace, but you can get access to much of it as a recreational pilot, by asking...

I still do not know where you are located, but here in the states, it is illegal to drop anything from a drone that might injure a person and a golf ball dropping from that height would certainly cause damage and if you are located in the UK, it is illegal there too.. I cannot help you. Why...
