The Terasor Community: A Forum Built for Drone Pilots
MaximJune 26, 2026
Most drone pilot conversations happen in closed Facebook groups where good answers disappear. We built the Terasor community in the open instead. Anyone can read it, and pilots can join the conversation.
Ask a question in most drone pilot groups and the answer arrives, gets read by a dozen people, and then sinks into a feed where nobody will ever find it again. A year later someone asks the same question and the cycle repeats. Closed groups are where good answers go to die.
That is the thinking behind the Terasor community. It is a proper forum, it is free, and it is public. You do not need an account to read anything. The idea is simple: when a pilot works out the cleanest way to handle a tricky client request, that answer should stay findable, for everyone, rather than vanishing into a feed.
What it is for
It is built for the conversations working pilots actually have. The 2026 rule changes and what they mean day to day. Kit decisions, and whether an upgrade is worth it. What to quote for a job that does not fit a neat category. Wins and horror stories from real shoots. The unglamorous stuff that never makes it into polished tutorials but decides whether your week goes well.
It is also one of the few places you can share a full 360 panorama. Drone work is made for it: post an interactive 360 from a shoot and other pilots can look around the whole scene rather than at a flat frame, which shows off what you captured far better than a single photo in a feed.
There are community rules from the start, and they are enforced. No spam, no contact-detail harvesting, no piling on. A forum is only as useful as its signal, and keeping that high is a deliberate choice rather than a hope.
Why reading is free and posting is for pilots
Anyone can read the forum, including clients trying to understand how drone work is actually done, which we think is healthy for the whole industry. Posting and replying is for registered pilots. That single rule keeps the conversation grounded in real experience and keeps the drive-by noise out.
Joining takes a few minutes, and a pilot account on Terasor is free. The same account works across the rest of the platform, including going live with your flights and, as the marketplace grows, charter work.
Be one of the first
We will be honest about where this is: the community is new. It is live and open, but it is early, which is exactly why now is a good time to show up. The pilots who post first set the tone, get their questions in front of the people who follow, and are the familiar names by the time it fills out. The peer-to-peer charter marketplace is still in testing; the community is live today.
So if you fly drones, in the UK or anywhere else, come and introduce yourself. The first post is the hardest one, and right now it is also the most valuable.
