    Is the text transcript feature available on Youtube in Great Britain? There's a link displayed here when you expand the video description with the "more" link. Here's the blog post from Airdata.com that's discussed in the video. It's the heart of the discussion...

    Mini 3 Giant ship turns on a Dime - timelapse

    Very interesting video and interesting maneuvering. Thanks for posting it. I'm curious about the thrusters. This article has two photos of the bow thrusters. Are there similar units on the stern, or are they diverting the wash from the propellers? It's worth noting that Queen Anne is commanded...

    Another dose of dire drama and another secret crusade.

    The Age of the Drone Police Is Here (WIRED)

    The outrageous thing in that video is that some insurance companies are cancelling homeowner's policies because of streaks and stains on the roof. Let that sink in. Yes, they used a drone to photograph the roof instead of sending a guy with a camera out to have a look. If you're looking for...

    small car dealer looking for a drone that can take video/picture walk arounds of vehicles for sale

    I think you'd be better off with a camera stabilizer rather than a drone. There would be a considerable investment of money and time to learn to fly the drone as smoothly as you can shoot with your phone. Handling the video and photo files would be more complicated. Also, you would be required...

    App trouble

    DJI Fly? What version do you have installed? What control devices are you using? Can you post a copy of the error message? That sounds like it may be an issue with your phone or tablet rather than with the drone or controller. You might try re-installing the app. It may have been corrupted.

    Any Negative RID experiences so far?

    Purely recreational. Before I came to my senses and learned to land airplanes. Professional jumping usually involves the possibility of someone shooting at you or landing the very close to a forest fire.
