So stressful that's the main reason I didn't pre order the Mavic not because I couldn't afford it I didn't want to sit there and constantly check about the status of the order. I bet the Inspire 2 will be better because it won't be in as heavy of demand as the mavic.

@UAV Man Yeah that was our problem we were in between buildings in Dallas and lost satellite signal so it just automatically returned to home but right into a building it was only up about 4 feet but still was enough to do some damage

@UAV Man I wish I did it was an early time before it was a common offering we got this right when the inspire came out!!! Fortunately it was the only crash we have had since then we have learned the lesson for sure. Return to home used to be so much worse.

@SanCap Oh that SD card is toast haha

Slightly stupid question, I have an old inspire v1 from like 2 years ago that I had crashed before starting our company and it is starting to just take up space. Being the hoarder I am I have a hard time throwing it away, and I was wondering if you know how much people sell these for and if...

Wow in the US especially Texas where we operate the RTK signal is free to use I've forgotten how much longer it took to do in school with older GPS technology. Definitely have gotten spoiled to just plug in 1-2cm accurate points right after collection into pix4d. We also have surveyors that...

If I am not mistaken COAs are for a 333 exemption the way part 107 works is you fill out a waiver for airspace authorization via the part 107 portal and then your regional FAA office contacts the controlling tower in question to run it by then they will either reject for change or contact you...

Funny from an application I sent in 11/9/16, I actually heard back from the Fort Worth regional FAA office this afternoon and they gave me approval to operate within 1/10 mile surrounding a property approx 2.5nm from Bush Intercontinental Airport with a ceiling of 100 feet. I will have the...

Gotcha I understand now I have applied for 4 around Bush Intercontinental Airport and haven't heard anything yet, fortunately, we operate many of our projects in East Texas and Louisiana so we don't really have to worry about anything for most flights.

You have to pick one or the other to operate under you cannot use both at the same time. COA's were offered under section 333 and you had to have a licensed pilot. Seeing not that part 107 is out unless you have a 333 exemption then you will need to go the part 107 route. We operated under our...

Drones Plus Dallas - Drones Sales, Service, Training, Flight Cage Talk to the guys at drone plus I believe that they have stores nationwide from what I understand they will replace any accidental damage including water as long as the bird is brought back to the store. I don't know if they...

Great point that is the beauty of a hexacopter and up design, fortunately, I haven't had this happen to me. After talking with someone at Drone Plus I believe they offer an insurance package that offers 100% replacement even if crashed is what I am told. A buddy of mine had crashed his X5R and...

I've also noted that the part 107 waiver process is a lot more complicated than the test in my opinion. It would be nice to have some information about pulling waivers and permits to fly. I don't think most people realize even after taking the test that they will likely have to do this before...
