    Found drowned drone

    You said you bought another p3. How much? I just crashed mine and will find out later today what the damages are and how much to repair it. It might be cheaper to just get another.

    How many people went straight to DJI instead of smaller drones first?

    I flew RC Gliders when I was a kid and then switched to RC off road cars. I continued to use the stick controller with the cars because it was more comfortable for me than a wheel controller. I am blown away at how easy the P3 is to fly. I am grateful to have some prior flight experience. It...

We use hand held gps units for these usually. I think having the coordinates on the go app screen would be perfect for...

    Polar Pro LED Kit Review

    Where did you get the carbon fiber legs. Is it a decal wrap or real carbon fiber?

    Choppy video

    How big is the need for a big screen

    I use a Tab S and love size. I did upgrade the mount that screws in to the controller. The one that came with it seemed a little flimsy holding the tablet vs a phone.
