    UPS Lost Camera Sent Back For Repair... What Happens Now?

    I've had just as many problem with FEDEX as I've had with UPS and USPS. None of them shine. An up start company, ONTRAC, has been fairly impressive so far.

    Getting Ripped Off

    My understanding is that eBay no longer owns PayPal.

    Has FAA Lost their **** mind?

    Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. I'm sorry if you feel slighted. You are way over reacting. Don't take it personally. Put your glasses on old man and re-read my post and you will see I said "not you specifically". You get respect if you earn it. A zygote. Interesting. A real childish answer. Age...

    Has FAA Lost their **** mind?

    I was responding to the previous post regarding h This hobbyist is a multiple decades licensed private pilot that built and flys a Lancair. I know how to read charts and understand the airspace. Been doing it for decades long before sUAV's were a gleam in your dad's eyes. Just because there...

    Has FAA Lost their **** mind?

    Interesting. A hobbyist flying at 100 feet, 5 miles from a class D airport should not have the right to fly. That's a bit over the top.

    Metallic red inspire

    How did it fly with that metallic paint? Any signal interruption?

    Where to fly anymore.

    I live in southern Oregon, so I do take advantage of unpopulated, undeveloped and remote areas. That USDA document has contradictory information in it. Fortunately the document is primarily "tips" for UAS operators.

    Just did a Long Range Flight...

    The word 'toy' is real ambiguous. Some owners of $300,000 aircraft consider what they have as toys. Whether it's called a toy or not, has nothing to do with it.

    Just did a Long Range Flight...

    Looking to always learn something when I read. Getting back to the OP's first post, ever since the thread was hijacked multiple times starting with post #3, the OP's screen shot info shows a maximum altitude of the flight. Putting aside the distance and location (over housing - but not over...

    Inspire speed runs

    For the speed runs, is the craft modified in any way or in stock configuration?

    Complete Failure of INSPIRE 1 during flight - Dropped from 400 feet

    I agree with The Editor. The video indicates the craft did not fall out of the sky. And I don't see any fun in a discussion about someones $3,000 misfortune.

    Time to sell both my Inspires!

    What I posted previously: "...As a result of DJI's NFZ's I have opted to not purchase an Inspire or any other of their craft (Phantom 3's) that has the NFZ restrictions. I doubt anyone is flying "at 2000 or 3000 ft near airports". I do not think my craft could attain that height, but have...

    Low flying light aircraft

    It's a big deal if it's me.

    Time to sell both my Inspires!

    DJI's NFZ's are, in some locations, way out of reality. The NFZ at the local airport here includes one end of the runway, but does not include the other end of the runway. In the state, some small airports are included, while other larger airports are not in their NFZ database. As a result of...
