I wrote something similar (don’t understand it), know it’s a very unpopular opinion!

TBH I ask the dog walkers if their dogs be offended/scared/chase, and do consider them before take off (though I’m flying a wing, and 6S quads, and the bloody noisy for no reason Avata!), bit more distracting than a whoop. Not had any bother from the dogs myself. They wanna walk a dog, fine, I wanna fly my quad, fine… :wink:

Edit: Though will add, was at least 3 lots of un collected poop around near our spot we used for take off/landing… I left no mess… That’s TBH the main reason if as PM I’d ban em all if one piece of doggy poop was found in 6 months of entering office! Never met a dog owner who hasn’t collected poop… Amazing that…

Sure, but a speeding golf ball is a projectile just as much as a drone is ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Edit: Sorry, posted from my phone and it’s dropped @Leylo1971 quote on highlighting our activity.

I’d like to point out that the dog walker came along after the tinywhoop was already in the air. I of course didn’t even start to take off whilst there was anyone nearby.

thanks for setting it up.

batteries are going my head in on the avata (contacted DJI for advice)

98

Ahh, that’s why I couldn’t see you. I only had my Air2s batteries at 60 pc, but decided to have a fly up to have a see anyway.

Literally stuck to the ceiling hieght of 120m to get the range, had a look about in the middle of the field, got to 33 pc battery and headed back.

edit. Found where you were…
