*** SOLD *** I would like to sell my Phantom 3 Standard. It has never crashed or landed too hard or anything like that. It has an original DJI hard case, add-on removable prop guards and a couple of extra props (regular and carbon fiber). It still has until 01/01/2018 with DJI care. DJI care...

Thanks for your reply. Guess I have a few more weeks to go.

Technically, if you fly to further a business, whether it's for yourself or someone else then it's falls under the part 107 flying rules. It's really a matter of intended purpose. If, say you flew the park just for fun to get a cool video and then someone saw it and asked if they could use it...

An aeronautical sectional chart is a great tool to help in determining airspace size and class. I recommend getting one form a local pilot training school or airport. They are around 10 bucks. I've been using Air Map for fun flying notifications. There are quite a few airports that are accepting...

How long did it take to receive your "actual" certificate after passing the AKT?

That's about it. Ronin2, Cendence (programmable controller), Tracktenna and DJI Circle (VIP support for pros)

I'm thinking of selling my P3S to buy a Mavic. I'm really just seeing if anyone would be interested in buying my P3S. I bought it at the end of December 2016 with DJI care so it currently has about 8 months left of DJI care. It has the DJI hard pack, 2 sets of carbon fiber props, 2 sets of...

That is the confusion Im going through currently. We have Version 1.8.10 and DJI posted Version 01.07.0800 yesterday. FIRMWARE Phantom 3 Standard Firmware v01.07.0800 2017-04-01

I think I updated in December or January. Not sure. It just came up in the App so I updated. This one isn't coming up in the App but maybe DJI finally figured out that the latest (1.8.10) is causing issues (like the interference error that fills my log).

I think I may have the wrong version. I just checked my P3S version and it says "Version 1.8.10". Am I missing something here? Maybe I should go with the "newer" lower version?

I'm not an expert at this stuff by any means. But, I found the Phantom Training Guide useful when I was trying to build some confidence in flying my Phantom. I would suggest flying all of the exercises a few times. It helped me...

Just got back from taking the test, got a score of 93. I took a two Saturday class at the local community college. The instructor is a retired airline pilot (lots of good stories and insights). Used the "Remote Pilot Test Prep" book from ASA. Spent a total of about 20 hours studying for the...
