Re: OP's question about flying at night

In simple terms, there are recreational rules and commercial rules.

Its no good if they don't have the approach ramps done

Thank you for recording this...I was thinking of going down to watch it....no need now :coolsmiley:

If they had to use explosives to make a hole for the pylons, they could call it the "Chitty Chatty Bang Bang Bridge":1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

What Drone/Cam do you use? I am looking at the new DJI Mavic Air 2 Fly More.
Opinion?

The doubters are south of the turnpike and are STILL WAITING to be connected!

Patience, grasshopper........

Thanks Goldwingnut! I am out of town but I really look forward to watching the process 👍

I'm still uncertain of the MA2 mainly because the software it uses - DJI Fly. The only other one using it is the Mavic Mini (which I have). All the rest of the DJI models use DJI Go4 to fly. The feature set on Fly is very very limited as compared to Go4 which is the concern. The aircraft itself, from what I am reading and other reviews, seems pretty good and has some great advances that everyone hopes to see on the Mavic 3 and/or Phantom 5.

Right now DJI has not released an SDK or the API calls for the Fly software so there is no 3rd party Apps that can integrate with the MM or MA2. This is a huge sort fall because of the other great flying Apps that are available like Litchi and DroneLink.

For now, I would wait to see how it shakes out in the market and also see what's coming next, a lot of rumors are flying about the Mavic 3 Pro for this summer.

I have 2 DJI Phantom 4 Pros, a DJI Mavic Pro with the NoLimitDronz hack installed, a DJI Mavic Mini, a DJI Tello, and a DJI Osmo Pocket. For the bridge move I will be using one of the P4Ps from an elevated position to do the live streaming.

Spot on! Until the ramps and MMPs are built it will be just like the Brownwood bridge, a giant advertising billboard. Advertising and appeasement will be the biggest gains from this move, for now.

Ramps
 

Agree, it could still be months before you see any carts traveling on that bridge. Thanks for your drone work as it’s a great service to all Villagers. Jim

I believe IMHO that the full completion of this bridge and the ramps thereto will be completed within the month. The speed with which Chitty Chatty and Bradford are being completed coupled with the current health crisis will necessitate a grand marketing event which the opening of this bridge will provide.

Yes, we’re still disconnected further south. All the residents in Fenney, McClure, DeSoto, Marsh Bend, Linden and Monarch Grove still have no golf cart access to the rest of The Villages or other facilities. Furthermore, it’s disappointing that while building of more homes has not stopped during the pandemic, the shopping area at Everglades is only now showing signs of any construction! Not what was promised to us before our home purchase.

Unless they had a commitment to a retail, why build. Look at the shopping plaza behind Miller’s, that the major retailer dropped out. Nice looking Empty Plaza

Promised?
