4worldlovers: Dec 9th event with Epson and MagicSky here on TI. Showing customers how good the Epson BT-300 glasses are. NO need to switch between your phone screen and the UAV. Totally safe flying of a UAV in US airspace

Class was great 1 on 1 with the instructor in an open field with 2 different types of drones. It's amazing, great fun, and exciting to learn something new. He's very patient, clear, and fun to learn from. Your free to ask a whole lot of questions that pertain to the course. It was a great day not too windy. I would recommend this course to anyone. Come with a smile and imagination

Amazing! Warner is a great teacher, I learnt a lot about proper drone handling, and rules associated with drone flying. We started with a teacher+student drone, where I was flying and Werner was helping along the way. Then I flew one of the trainer drone followed by my own drone. Overall a great learning experience! Would highly recommend to anyone serious about learning to fly drones.

We enrolled in a workshop, which covered hands-on experience flying a drone in a safe environment, introduction to regulations, information about different models and applications. There wasn't a single question that Werner couldn't answer! His profound experience and knowledge in this field is very inspiring. All of us had a lot of fun and learnt a lot.

We strongly believe in education we are always willing to help where we can. We have hosted lots of events. Many for the Hiller Air museum, as is its located next to the San Carlos airport, a Class D airspace, it is hard for there kids camp to fly outside.

We strongly believe well trained UAV pilot is a safe pilot. All of our new pilot instructors are part 107 pilots. We do have a daylight waiver for the school, so that we can even fly after sun set and sun rise. We always teach in a teacher - student function this allowes or teachers to take over at anytime and minimize any risk. We really like to teach using the AR Moverio BT-300 glasses from Epson.
