Hey everyone,

I recently joined this site, hoping to share my own experiences and knowledge with others and to learn from others as well. I have been flying drones recreationally for 5 years. Currently, I own the EXO Ranger 7 Plus drone without the obstacle avoidance. I purchased one with obstacle avoidance first, though, and in my opinion, I'd rather not have it on my drone. It's a cool idea and all, but I feel it's not necessary for me to have one. Some other brands I've flown are Ruko, Holy Stone, and Syma. I liked all 3 pretty well. The Syma company has this "club" you can sign up for, where they will send a free item from their warehouse that has either been refurbished or the packaging/box was damaged. I received a remote helicopter that was fun to fly. My Holy Stone drone I lost when I flew it over a pond. It stopped right in the middle of it and started to land regardless of what I was pushing on the remote. It was the middle of winter❄️, and I wasn't going after it. That's when I learned not to fly over water, lol! :LOL: The Ruko drones are really good and have smooth controls. Total, I have owned 5 drones now. My favorite one is the EXO Ranger 7 plus. It's a mouthful to say, I know. I got mine in red.

Welcome from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia,

My biggest issue is not flying over water, but where to fly… See what my local area is like… I have to call the ATC just to take off in my own yard… Before I got my Part 107, my yard was only a "Drone Taxi Zone…" 😂

And here a video I made of my local water…


Fly Safe!
