You hit that nail directly on the head!!

Where can I find up to date webinars about recreational flying under the new regulations. Everything I see on Youtube seems to be over a year old, therefore not current. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Given the new FAA rules, I have a few questions regarding the use of my Typhoon H as a recreational flyer and I hope I can articulate my questions is such a way that can be reasonably answered. 1. The whole conversation about Category 1 - 4 flying over people has me a little confused when it...

After reading the proposal, I wonder if my 2018 Typhoon H is functionally compliant with being to transmit it's position to the internet so I can be spied on by the authorities. BeforeYouFly tracks my physical position based on the GPS in my phone so I am a bit confused on those details. If...

Thank you AH-1G!! I did that and now it is working. This charger seems to work very well. Just wish the instructions were more detailed. So, once the batteries are charged and the charger goes into "idle" do you then put them into "storage mode" till you are ready to use them?

Does anyone know how to interpret some of the error messages from the EV-Peak DV-3 battery charger? I finally purchased a balancing charger and inserted my 2 OEM batteries into the charger. One of the batteries began charging without any error messages bot the other gave the error message...

Thanks for that explanation DoomMeister. I guess the more you post (useful & positive contributions) that score goes up. For the record, I have never seen a Hate, Sad or Wow, but then again I haven't understood the reaction score until now. Have a safe and restful Memorial Day Holiday ??

Curious, what is the "REACTION SCORE" and how is it determined?

Ho Ho Ho… ? Of course my elves are hard at work in my workshop. They will have a solution before Christmas, I am sure. In the meanwhile, I will just have my reindeer hover over me and cast their shadow over the ST-16 Screen when I fly my H ? (The idea came from President Trump ?) Wishing all...

Thanks for the reply AeroJ. Guess my batteries are going to be toast... I think they were at full charge and have been in storage for several months without any intervention. Bummer!!! Guess I will take them out and see what they do. When you say "seriously limited their lifespan" do you...

I too like the ST-16 for it's design and functionality. My only complaint is the clarity of the screen in the bright sun as I live in the Nevada desert. The screen shield helps but only if you hold it in such a way as to avoid being awkward. Maybe someday there will be a screen that doesn't...

Got a related question regarding my Yuneec OEM batteries. My H has been in storage for some time due to other obligations that prevented me from taking it out to fly for quite a while. What are the chances that my batteries will recover and charge up reliably when I take the H out to play...

Anyone remember the movie "October Sky" about a group of kids in the late 50's who launch a model rocket and get blamed for a forest fire caused by a military flair? The boys prove their innocence by applying trig to the trajectory of their model. Maybe the authorities should be made to watch...

Thank you all for your excellent responses. To be clear, I have read enough threads on this subject to know I cannot do any "commercial" flying without a pilot license and I HAD NO INTENTION OF DOING IT. My objective was to show my son what the regulations are and the risks associated with it...

Thank you PatR & Phaedrus. That is the answer I was expecting. Time to study for my License!! ;)
