    SOLD: Phantom 2 with Zenmuse H4-3D - non-operational

    Hey all, thanks for the attention. I didn't figure anyone would want it. I'm moving overseas and my intention was to get it off my shelf, but I sure could use the few extra bucks. It's boxed and ready to ship. I hope it's ok with everyone on this thread; I like the idea of the youth ministry...

    Traveling with Drone in Myanmar

    Update for Myanmar. One could face up to 3 years imprisonment for illegally bringing a drone into Myanmar. Journalists Sentenced Under Unexpected Charge for Flying Drone Over Parliament I illegally brought my P2V+ to Myanmar in 2014. I legally brought my P2V+ to Myanmar in 2015. I was denied...

    Safety First,

    Definitely ski within your limits, but it's enriching to move off the bunny hill and ski a Black Diamond trail.

    How is it possible that a drone is moving forward?

    To a Marine on the ground waiting for extraction, that ugly Chinook would look beautiful.

    FAA says Geese are Safe within 1 Mile of my local Airport?

    There's no way all of those regulations are justified for a single 2.2 lb Phantom drone, but how about millions of Phantom drones? Throw in a bunch of Mavics, Inspires, Solos, Autels, home-mades, as well. If the airspace included only one aircraft, your 2.2 lb Phantom, we wouldn't need an FAA...

    Flying in Hawaii with Wind

    The best way to fly there? Boeing, of course! Thank you folks and don't forget to tip your waiters. But seriously, low winds at sunset and sunrise combine to give you the best conditions (wind and light) to fly. Take advantage of the long shadows from above! Here's how to approach high wind...

    When is Phantom 5 release?

    I don't own a Mavic, but often fly with a friend who does and we're frequently in high winds. My observation is the Mavic is superior to my P3 in wind. The Phantom shape has a lot more sail for the wind to catch. A Mavic-type airframe configuration with a P4P camera would be a worthy next-gen...

    Drone names

    Crusader, named after the RF-8 Crusader, an unarmed reconnaissance plane used by US Marines (and Navy) to take photos over Communist countries, which is exactly why I bought my P3. My Crusader has flown extensively over Vietnam. On one mission, she launched from Ban Gioc, Vietnam and crossed...

    Today I am sick ..... Literally...

    Thanks for the tip. I just sprayed my Phantom with an AK47. I don't think the pelicans will bother it anymore, but now I can't get it to turn on.

    Flying in windy conditions.

    Your P3 will handle wind much better without prop guards.
