    DNGs What do I do with them?

    I am not sure if the ipad has a "Preview" program as doo their laptops and desk tops. It can't hurt to try. Even if you open with iphoto it should give you the option to export as jpg. Hope this helps

    Yuneec Company Website

    Yes of course I would do that. THANKS for input. I'll look into the Hubsan 501 and hang on to my Q500. It's still a hard choice whether or not to let Carolina Dronz sell the camera-less H for me or have them send it back ($60 postage) and I'll keep it until I find a CGO3+ I can afford. I...

    What worries me is when agent X approaches me as I fly around above some uninhabited desert area and he/she asks to see my newly updated registration. I can try the 4-year argument, but he may have is citation book and pen and I may be stuck with an obscene fine. And on top of that I may not...

    I was very excited about getting into amatuer drone flying last year. Even after the maiden voyage crash of my H copter, I was enthusiastic about flying. I bought a smaller cheaper drone, jjrc x-15 and learned how to fly it without crashing. It was fun, I even made a silly little video for my...

    My First Negative Interaction

    Do not try to reason with whackos. It just fires them up. Crazies have short fuses and can actually be dangerous if sufficiently riled up. Better to say nothing and smile as you take THEIR picture. If forced to interact, tell them you'd welcome a call to the the police and when they arrive you...

    Yuneec H520 freezes in the middle of the sky

    A few months back I crashed, Thor Hayerdahl, my Typhoon H copter, on its first flight, wrecking the camera and breaking the landing legs. I watched in horror as it fell to the ground after I stupidly pressed the red "turn off" button by mistaking it in my panic for RTH. Once pushed, I could...

    Hi from Seattle area

    Thanks Rubic. Washington has plenty of flyable ares but some require traveling to get there. I enjoy the area bordered by Ellensburg, Vantage, Yakima and Kennewick . I've found some back roads where one could fly without unwarranted scrutiny. There are some pull-offs that give access to some...

    Hi from Seattle area

    Thanks for reply. I lived for several years in the U-district and moved to Port Townsend on the peninsula. If you're near Olympia I'm sure you can find a lot of open space for flying, Good luck with Q500. It's a great photo platform as is the H.

    Hi from Seattle area

    Calvin/Mike Where do you plan to fly your copter? I used to live there but wasn't into flying. Now I plan to return to visit family and would like to bring my Q500. Some places come to mind like Snohomish by the slough, Monroe or the Skagit flatlands. What areas to you recommend? Airyal (Albert)

    Something For the FAA to Think About

    In olden daze when we wanted to tell someone to P--- Off we might use the expression "Go fly a kite!" In our modern world, depending on location, they might need to first purchase a permit, or if not, risk a fine or imprisonment. Kite flying is a serious matter.

    Refurbished yuneecs.

    Refurbished units can be found at some private repair facilities. Check with Carolina Dronz. They often have some pre-owned Yuneecsm and also DJI Inspires
