thanks a lot @clackey

Thw DJI FPV explorer sure has opened my mind and eyes to what drone flying can be. I really love the speed and agility of this aircraft. THe googles will take some time to get used to for sure. just a small challenge do you know of any Ready To Fly FPV( fast and nimble) drones that...

welcome to the forum from CT

day 2 @ the closed airport has gusts of wind from th e north @ 18mph. The mini 2se did not like that.I thought it did very well considering. Right now I am using visual flight(line of sight only) and learning how the drone handles . I am thrilled to be able to fly it after...

thanks again for your reply I will get an email as that is all the FAA has. You can rest assured that I will secure that form( email) and back it up with e copies as well as a hard copy.That way, I can aways submit a photo of the hard copy I did look at the LAANC and...

YES that is where I am. and thanks again for the informative and helpful response

thank you for taking the time to post such a comprehensive reply When I bought the mini 2 se, the website I bought the drone from( info from DJI)mentioned issues with google I never thought that I would need a "special" brand or version of android or apple i phone. I found out the phone...

Literally just bought a dji mini 2 se and registered with FAA. Joined AMA too. AMA sur e offers a lot of info and help to all pilots,especially new ones Already very frustrated( even before flying) as DJI doe not discuss in product info areas the need for specific cellphones to use...
