Instructional Book on Drones

I cannot WAIT for my copy to arrive! See Justin is the pilot but I 'm the mechanic. Since I was little I followed my dad around as he tinkered with broken lawnmowers and TVs... I have always been a nerd at heart so this book sounds incredible. I have learned a little about repairing and even upgrading on my own but why reinvent the wheel??? I will happily let you know if I learn a lot from this. At very least I expect to be able to repair our drones better with the help of this book. Happy Flying!

Magazine for Drones!

I found this today on Amazon and will be another of our next purchases. It still surprises me how few resources there are on the subject of drones. Anyhow, this is a magazine about drones. There is a wealth of great information and it seems like a good idea just to stay informed as we progress. I hope to find more publications as I search but for now it is mostly smaller independent communities, groups, and such.

I came upon this today and certainly seems fitting. Whenever you are in any kind of a public setting and have a drone out you WILL be asked these questions! Repeatedly! LOL... This is a great idea and glad that Father's Day will be here soon. 

Great Drone for Beginners - DX-4 Streaming Stunt Drone

http://amzn.to/2G8cJOo 

So far this is the house favorite that we have tried. I bought this for Justin as a Christmas gift as the next step in his newfound love of drones. Ours has some wear and tear on it as it has crashed a few times since this was the first full sized drone we had tried out learning as we go. I will be sure to post some of the photos and videos we have captured with this model. 

Some of Justin's favorite features of the DX-4 are it's durability, the streaming video is very good and that other than very high wind it handles very well. The DX-4 can be bought alone or in a bundle with VR goggles which can be used while flying or playing videos recorded while flying. We believe it is a great drone for beginners as it can drop a few times and keep going but it was easy enough to repair also. We had a bad crash which we thought killed it for sure but we were able to take it apart, find what had been damaged (in this case the crash caused 1 motor to hit something hard enough to separate parts inside which we repaired easily). While this was the second drone we acquired, the DX-4 remains his go to when he wants to fly. 

This photo is from about 30-35' up on a clear night and you can see rooftops, trees, the hospital about a mile down the road! 

***Useful to mention- Its a good idea to put your phone number on the drone in case you cannot locate it that hopefully it can be returned to you
