    Noob question about hand launching

    I have read about hand catching throughout the forum and do that myself, but I have not come across hand launching and don't recommend it.

    First flight tomorrow!

    Take your time and get used to the controls. Don't do any complex maneuvers until you know exactly how the drone will react. Go through each command on the two sticks and remember the drone will react based on its orientation to you. Meaning if the drone is facing the same direction as you and...

    I'm sorry to say, but,

    Please don't be sorry for purchasing a P4 and really don't feel you need to defend your decision. I am more than happy to allow others to either prove or disprove any claims of improvement by the manufacturer. This helps others to make an informed decision rather than an emotional one about...

    Any Interest in buying?

    I agree with exit 4 about waiting. Plus let someone else pay to get the bugs out on the P4. You'll get a better machine without the frustrations.

    Anti-Glare screen covers question

    Now that is what I call resourceful, and very cool. Speaking of cool, make sure it has plenty of ventilation as my iPad gets hot during flight and his iPhone might also.

    Loose RC antennae

    For a while I have been having inconsistent signal issues without finding a cause. What I mean is the following symptoms. 1. RC goes back and forth between ATTi mode and GPS mode several times before takeoff without any buttons being touched. 2. Sudden lose of video and then regain. 3. Checked...

    Here are pictures with the nonglare protector. The DJI app is open, but I don't have my drone connected. I just took these pictures with the sun behind me and to the side.

    Can't see the screen in the sun-any suggestions

    I went to Amazon and got the non glare screen protector ($10) for my iPad Air 2. It has made a world of difference. Down here in Florida the sun makes it difficult even when in the shade.

    HOA say I can not fly

    Having had the unfortunate experience of having been an HOA president, all I can say is this. Check your HOA bylaws. Most HOAs do not have any rules against drones, as they have not been around long enough, but that can be easily remedied and they can pass a bylaw soon at a board meeting. What...

    Non gps mode moments + log

    My drone has been going in and out of attic the last few times I have gone flying. The first time I thought it was something I did by accident, but it happened a few more times. Glad to know I am not the only having this issue.
