    P3 scrutiny from the FAA and the NTSB From Tahoe Ed

    I was just in Southern California where they had a big fire a little over a week ago. They had to ground all air tankers and helicopters because some idiot was flying his drone trying to get footage. Most of us use our heads and THINK about what we're doing and the possible negative effects if...

    Sim Card recording limits??? Mine splits video at 14 minutes

    I was out at Catalina Island this past week and all of my videos split right at the 14 minute mark. This is a pain when editing as I will have to splice them together. Is there some setting that can be changed so that I can record a full flight without having separate video files?? I've got a...

    Phantom 3 Pro Tilted Horizon

    My issue is that I can level it and it changes in flight. I noticed today it did it after point straight down with the camera. I'll do more tests in the future to see if that throws it off again. Anyone else having the horizon change after correcting? My settings didn't change, just the...

    P3 props... prone to stripping??

    I SUSPECT that the new design has something to do with the dynamic breaking. Maybe having threads in the props which are more flexible i.e. nylon/plastic will cause better grip? As far as using P2V props, I've heard it's not advised because of the more powerful motors AND the dynamic...

    P3 props... prone to stripping??

    Having had a P2V+ with metal inserts in the props to attach to the motor shaft I have concerns about the P3 props being all plastic. Is there any chance of stripping the internal prop threads or throwing a prop after repeated tightening/untightening? I don't crank them down especially hard-...

    Not able to take picture while shooting video!!!

    Solution then is to set up the pic you want, stop video, snap pic, start video and join video clips in post production. I'll try this today and see how it goes.. Should be pretty seamless since the bird is so stable.

    Transitioning to longer flights beyond visual range

    I completely feel your nerves! I've had a P2V+ and could never get beyond 2900'. My P3P arrived Friday and after doing several close flights (1000') I decided to increase distances by about 500' each flight going slowly the extra distance. Yesterday, I hit the 4000' mark! With the P2V+ I...
