It's my birthday today, and because I didn't know what to ask for my dad went out and bought a drone. It's charging right now, and I'll be testing it out tomorrow in the house and doing some FAA registration, but I'm trying to think of what to film out and about. South-Eastern Michigan isn't the most beautiful place right now, and I spend most of my life inside so I'm out of ideas. Is there something you'd like to see from up above? |

happy birthday! a drone sounds pretty cool, keep us posted on what you do with it! sadly I know nothing about southeastern michigan, but looking at a map I'm sort of intrigued by belle isle. is there any cool wildlife there you can come just shy of annoying and maybe get some interesting footage of? |

Airport is a no-go according to the little FAA card it came with (no flying within 5 miles unless you contact them). Belle Island is a good idea. I'll have to get a friend to come along though so I'm not just some dork flying a drone. There's some wooded areas near where I live where I might be able to catch some birds, deer, and other cute creatures. My dad works at a hospital that provides service the state prison, maybe he'll be up to a fly around. e. Apparently I live within 5 miles of an airport.

Put your hopes and dreams on them, fly them into the sky and never stop reaching for them.

$5 to register a drone for recreational use. I thought I would have had to take a quick test to make sure I actually read the information but nope, click click click pay and done. |

 That big dish you're thinking of isn't a satellite dish, it's a radome. The JSTARS and etc. collection aircraft sensors look more like bubbles or canoes stuck to the fuselage.

Doctor Dogballs posted:drones have to be registere? like there's a government register for drones now? Yup. It's just a form you fill out online with your name, address, and phone number. Then you get a string of numbers and letters that you have to put on your drone. Think of it like a license plate for a car. If you're just flying for fun, then you can go out and fly it. However, if you're doing it for work/business, you need to be certified to fly unmanned aircraft systems. |

I took it for a test fly in my backyard. It's VERY loud. A lot louder than I thought it would be, so I didn't fly it around too long as I didn't want to annoy my neighbors too much. You connect your phone to the controller so you're able to see what the camera sees, and it gives a bunch of information. It kept telling me that I'm flying in a restricted area and that I'm too close to obstacles. Dog #1 was terrified by it. He hid behind my Mom while trying not to acknowledge the scary object. Dog #2 didn't care at all. She was more excited to see me standing in the backyard and kept trying to get pet. Rushi posted:can you go to a not crappy puppy mill and take photos of the puppies like piled up napping? I could go to the local Humane Society but I'm pretty sure that: 1. The people there wouldn't like it 2. The animals there wouldn't like it Actuarial Fables fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jan 15, 2017 |

you're just trying to acclimate the dogs so they can adjust to an increasingly drone-filled world... how are those dogs going to get adopted if they can deal with drones flying around them? |

Don't forget to spay or neuter your drone or it'll get loose and you might end up with a litter of baby drones you gotta find homes for. Cute little baby drones...

Keep an eye out for other drones so you can battle them can you attach some sort of paint/colored sand dispenser and make drone art on the ground? alternately attach colored toilet paper and go to town on someone's yard death sext fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jan 15, 2017

Use your drone to make crop circles in the ground the next time it snows. If it doesn't snow where you live affix the weather control module accessory for your drone and use it to make it snow. If they don't have weather control modules in this timeline yet forget what I said, it's too soon.

If you can afford it, i recommend a spawning pool, but if nothing else instruct your drone to harvest minerals |
