    Motor got wrapped in grass during landing - seems fine though?

    Thanks both. Just did a quick 5 minute test flight and all seemed fine, phew! It actually happened at the start of that 3 second wait as you hold the left stick down and wait for the motors to shutdown. Think I will swap to CSC from now on as you suggest as its much quicker :)

    Motor got wrapped in grass during landing - seems fine though?

    Hi, As I landed awkwardly (still learning) in a cut field of grass, one motor became entangled in a few strands. Literally for a second and the mobile app starting beeping at me that a motor was obstructed. All seems fine, still works okay and motor spins freely, but do you think this could...

    Just had my first interaction with someone I was flying near.

    UK Charger Power Cable Question

    Thanks, the P3A charger is 57 watts I believe. Would you suggest a 5 amp fuse is too high then?

    UK Charger Power Cable Question

    Thanks, I just nicked one with a 5amp fuse from a Playstation 3 that seems to be doing the trick for charging the remote at least ...

    UK Charger Power Cable Question

    Hi all, I recently bought a P3A from Amazon UK but they decided to ship me one from France :/ It has come with an EU power cable for the charger. I just wanted to check whether any old UK AC adapter (figure 8 I believe) would fit the bill here? E.g. like this...
