This is the #1 question we get, and the answer is: it’s easier than you think. Modern drones have incredible auto-pilot and safety features. But more importantly, our job is to make you a confident pilot. Our expert training is designed for people who work in the field, not in a tech lab. We'll make sure you're ready.

They're built tough for agricultural work. But accidents can happen, and we have a plan for that. The drones are designed to be easily repaired, and as the industry leader, we stock all the essential parts to get you back in the air quickly. Our support team is here to help diagnose the issue and get you what you need.

It can be, but we’ve perfected a process to make it simple. We pioneered the industry's first DIY kit that guides you step-by-step through the FAA certification process. We know the process inside and out, so we've laid out everything you need to do it yourself. And if you want extra help, our expert consultants are available to assist. We take the headache and guesswork out of the legal side so you can focus on flying.

We believe in full transparency—no surprises. A "drone-only" package includes the aircraft, remote controller, and software. To make it simple, our "Ready-to-Fly" bundles are designed to include the essentials like the right number of batteries and smart chargers for your operation.

Beyond that, you’ll need a few other key items. This includes a power source for the chargers (talk to our team about generator recommendations), insurance (we have trusted partners we can refer you to), and a vehicle with a water/mixing trailer. To make it even easier, we offer custom-built trailers designed specifically for drone operations. We'll walk you through all these requirements to make sure you have a complete plan to be operational from day one.

Most owners recoup their costs in the first year from labor and chemical savings alone. But the real power of a drone's ROI comes from yield protection. Because you can spray in ideal windows—unfazed by wet ground—your crops get better protection from pests and disease. Better protection means healthier crops and higher yields. When you add in the value of eliminating tramline losses, the ROI becomes one of the best you can get on your farm. We even have a free calculator to help you estimate your specific return.

Yes. This is a great question that gets to the heart of drone efficiency. The key is that drones operate under the same proven principles as traditional aerial application—like crop dusters and helicopters—just on a smaller, more precise scale.

Think of it this way: chemical manufacturers write the "Aerial" application rates that both drones and planes use. They've spent millions testing these lower-volume, higher-concentration rates to guarantee they work—after all, they want to sell a product that's effective. The high water volumes used in ground spraying are often a requirement of the slow-moving equipment, not the chemical itself.

Drones leverage this proven aerial efficiency and take it a step further. They deliver that same powerful, concentrated product with even greater precision, getting it exactly where it needs to go with less waste, which is what saves you so much money on chemicals.

This depends on the drone model and your application rate (gallons per acre). With efficient battery cycling and a good workflow, many operators cover 40-80 acres per hour. During a consultation, we can give you a much more precise estimate based on your specific operation.
