    I just received the polar pros six filter kit. I've flown three of them so far and will work ont he rest this week. they fit well. the only complaint is the six lenses come with six bags, none of which are marked. need tyo find a gold marker to mark them.

    Blow back has started...

    There is one, the AMA, and the FAA basically shut them out of the last set of rule making. Rich Hanson in Ontario, CA in January said the AMA gave input, yet most if not all of their suggestions were ignored. boo.

    Blow back has started...

    agree. i was flying the x5r at a local spot the other night when a guy drove up, rolled down his window and asked me what i was flying. he said cool, parked, and pulled out his p3. And immediately started flying like an a**hole and quickly was gettign too close. fml. so i landed and watched...

    Propulsion output is limited to ensure safety of battery

    Stay away from Firmware Inspire 1 Firmware v1.9.1.10

    So I wonder if the V2 inspires are less prone to firmware problems?

    Stay away from Firmware Inspire 1 Firmware v1.9.1.10

    i wonder if the problems people have are with an older version of the inspire vs. a newer version? I bought the X5Raw on the pro frame and assume it is a later model. Any thoughts?

    USA Section 333 Exemption Progress Question

    Supposedly if you drop it off in person they do it faster, but i'm six months into it now and now going to change things.

    USA UAS Operator Hourly Rate

    Both of you are spot on. I worked a third shift job while going to college, just so i could get my private, commercial, instrument rating and CFI. I paid for all of it, did what i could to build hours, all so i could make $6.00 an hour as a CFI. Granted, this was quite a few years ago. I...

    Is it OK to hover drain the batteries in the garden?

    I hover mine. The challenge is that it's an X5R and they're loud. But no worries and it seems to work. I fly it high enough that it's not created a dust cloud.

    USA Dronebase, Skycatch, etc. - anyone willing to share their experience?

    I have been a certified Skycatch pilot for a while. They have sent leads but all were a waste of my time. Skycatch sells their backend processing services to us, which are steep. It could pay off if you get several jobs a month but then you have a month with no job and still have to pay them.
