The whole mass of air inside an enclosed vehicle is traveling at he same speed of the vehicle. That allows a "bee" to move inside the vehicle without having to reach the speed of the vehicle first. Open some Windows, cause some turbulence... Then there goes the bee and his power to move around...

I'm in Milwaukie and fly pretty often near LaDeFlats OHV.

Where in Oregon are you flying approximately?

MacPro 12 cores, 64gb ram, 2tb SSD , two video cards. I use Final Cut Pro to edit and compressor with a set of 4 other computer to render the final version. It works very well and pretty fast.

from Portland using P3P

Always keeping my eyes in the sky!

I got a few decent shots last night using the a P3P.

Not sure if the "simulator" provided by DJI is 100% realistic. But in there you can kill the engines mid air by pulling the sticks down and center.

Had a solo for two weeks, I had my phantom 2 for 18 months, solo is a nice concept but doesn't fly as stable as Phatnom. The range is not there either. Lost connection while flying a few times while I had it 150 feet right about my head. Needless to said I returned the Solo and got the Phatnom 3...
