    Cool recovery, brilliant expedient method, thanks for sharing. In RC racing we use a zip tie on the electrical connector, even with the contacts spread, it might still vibrate loose. Yes, we cut the zip tie every time we need to charge, replace with a new one when reconnected.

    Storytime: At the FAA protest in Washington D.C. Ken accidentally stepped on my DJI Osmo. Immediately, without even knowing the extent of the damage he said he would buy me a new one if he broke it. Super stand-up dude. Luckily there was nothing wrong with it, but it was also my own dumb fault for laying it on the ground at a protest -- so, I would not have asked him to pay to fix it or replace it.
    The part where Ken said he would give Keith one of his drones if he messed his Phantom up reminded me of that. Thanks for being awesome, Ken!

    I’ve tried the phantom-lets-strap-sticks-and-poles….. I’ve even got the video from another drone perspective of it trying to just compensate to hover; and it would rock VIOLENTLY back and forth; almost uncontrollably!
    Then, on second approach (yes, surviving the first fall of 30 feet into tall grass), tried the coat hanger on the front.
    Finally got the thing hooked; then as I pulled down carefully with the phantom, the wire bent upward, impeding my prop; sending both drones into the tree.
    Oy.

There is a national airguard base and civil aviation airport here: identifier MRB in class D airspace; 80% of which is zeroed out according to LAANC maps. The airport doesn't even support the capability. I have approached the administrator personally and get shrugged off, so I apply and receive airspace authorizations to fly in the remaining 20%...my question to you is if you know how get more flyable area? If I try a waiver application, what do you think I should say in terms of safety precautions? The base Flys C 17s very, very low over populated areas weekly.
