Thanks for the answers! I am NO DOUBT a "nervous nellie"...lol. That only because I have only seen two people ever fly a drone in person. Both were VERY close to them. Their altitude was around maybe 100 feet, but probably not more than 50 feet away. They could have basically been on a...

I have been working on improving my distance with my P3A. I posted in an earlier post that I am REALLY conservative when flying. It's not that I doubt my skill, it's not really knowing the limitations of the craft. I'm not looking to test them, just flat out ask that do ;) I live in a town...

I have been flying for over a P3A a year now and and am WAY too conservative when it comes to flying. I know that ;) But here are two things things I am curious about. 1st-I tend to get nervous whenever the video feed flickers/gets ANY type of interruption. I always feel like THAT is...

Also, I saw a killer deal on one of walmart's partner stores, 2 pack for 220! That was 2 days ago...now it's 270. go figure

Thanks everyone! It's strange that on amazon the price for a 2 pack is more than if you bought them individually? Oh well, quantity 2, I guess :)

I'm looking for the best price I can find on 2 batteries for a phantom 3 advanced/pro. Does anyone have suggestions?

Marknmd, no worries at all! I'm not the best at sputtering out my questions! I always appreciate replies! And thanks for the vote of confidence in uavforecast!

Thanks for the answers! I'm not sure how you are seeing it different than me? The 8 (from uavforecast) is a lower number than the 12, 14, 15, and 16 of the other sites. Does that make sense? I would like to use and trust uavforecast, because it's simple. But I have to know that it's...

Has anyone else found the wind report on uavforecast to be lower than other sites you check? As an example 16 mph....The airport near me has the wind at 12 mph at 0 feet, 14 mph at 92 feet, and 15 mph at 249 feet....A ballonist forecast site has the wind at 14 mph....at ground level Windyty 8...

Thanks for the reply. That's great to know! That was my first tablet capture, so I have no idea if it was acting like that before! Thanks again!

I do have a short video of what I am talking about. Maybe it's nothing, I'm pretty new to this, so all of your responses are greatly appreciated! Could these be a problem? Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning that. Got it. However, it wouldn't lean because it would just sort of get blown with the wind, correct?

I had, 16 or 17 sats.

Hmm....maybe tomorrow I will try ATTI mode and see if it does it.

I had something strange happen today. After not flying for a week I took my phantom out for a simple flight that I never ended up taking. When I took off, it started leaning slightly to one side, like it was maybe fighting wind. There was a 9mph wind to be clearn. Then it starting drifting...
