I have been building and flying RC aircraft for over 8 years. ____________________________________________________________________________ FAA UAS (drone) Rules: www.faa.gov/uas/ ____________________________________________________________________________
SKUNK'S AIR SAFETY RULES
1. No kids. If we spot a kid in the flying area we shut everything down and RTH.
2. No cars. The only car I can fly near is the one I own, so long as it's not being operated (by me) at the time.
3. No homes. The only building I can fly over/near is my own. No hovering over people's buildings or at their windows, backyard pools, etc. Public places only.
4. Try not to be creepy. Don't loiter around/above a stranger filming them for no reason.
NOTE: -NONE- of my videos is monetized, I fly as artistic expression and love of aviation. I am currently studying for my FAA Part-107 exam.
@@rj66600 This is the DJI FPV, I think with the Gen2 goggles. It's an addictive habit, and I'm unsure how to deal with the coming ban on DJI products...
I love this drone, I have others but this is so much more fun. 100% guarantee though if you have never flown fpv and you don't use the dji virtual flight sim prior you will crash 100%.
@skunkfive9670 I was looking forward to using dji virtual flight on my new phone [s24]. It was lagging a bit on my s21, but virtual flight is no longer available from I think s23 and up. Forcing people to use liftoff even with the Dji FPV DLC it's still no where near as realistic as virtual flight. Hopefully Dji release a new version!.
#2. Before you get into flying manual mode in the real world, be sure to spend at least 1l0 to 15 hours in DJI flight simulator. Liftoff etc are not realistic enough and I found that DjI Virtual Flight was scary close to reality.
I appreciate the advice. I've been flying manual mode for over a year on this drone, and have never flown their simulator (I have, however, flown w/ real-life RC transmitter in Liftoff (142hrs so far) and Tryp FPV (20hrs)). The manual-mode stuff isn't where I find most of my joy in flying, I really focus on the pictures I'm taking, and the opportunity to play Superman for a while. I've been flying this thing for almost 3 years, but having so much more fun than the 3 quads (and 1 tricopter) I built from scratch. The digital video is the key - my 250mw analog transmitter had such limited range it was usually more frustrating than entertaining. DJI did FPV right, IMO. I may got back to analog FPV if I get a micro-drone to fly around the house and pester the wife and kitties. :P
@skunkfive9670 haha cool man I'm very new to it. I used liftoff with real rc control too but I find the physics aren't quite right (for the dji fpv anyway). You take some awesome footage man. I would have hated having analogue as a fpv system to start with that with make things alot harder imo can't see cables etc. The DJI 03 air unit is awesome however. I'm thinking about getting a 7 or 5 inch more the crazy stuff but I love the speed and the distance I can travel with my dji fpv. It's amazing. I just got 3 more batteries for it too :) my goal is to fly up a mountain ridge and back down it in the next few days. Just waiting on the weather to become still.
I will check with the pilot - it seems pretty popular, a few of the pilots have them. I believe it's an SU-27 but I will confirm and get the manufacturer.
Please keep your arms and legs inside the aircraft at all times. Pilot is NOT responsible for lost or damaged articles, vomiting, dizziness, or malaise. Contact your physician if your erection lasts more than four hours. :)
