He came and demonstrated how to fly a drone to our group of developmentally delayed adults. He was so kind and knew exactly how to involve them and work around their disabilities. They were all super excited to see the drone flying around. Any of them that wanted to got to wear the googles that allow you to see exactly what the drone sees. They were pretty amazed!Posted on James GriffithsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave is the best!

Concerned about where you can fly, and being in restricted airspace? Most of today’s drones use GPS systems that will alert pilots to their specific launch airspace classification. LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) opens the door to flying safely at far more locations. Reach out to us for more information about LAANC and FAA Waivers!
