    Need help analyzing fall from the sky

    A friend I fly with said they bought me one of those. Have not seen it yet, but so far I have only flew over water since my front yard is a lake. But depending on DJI if they say a motor failed or I buy another one, I will never fly over water again without some type of floatation device to...

    Need help analyzing fall from the sky

    I contacted N.A. DJI first. Got through that paperwork. Then they forward to China once they verify they have all info needed. I think was 2 or 3 days after the Ker-Splash! Mine happened pretty fast from that height, bet that was gut wrenching from altitude you was at. To have to watch it...

    Need help analyzing fall from the sky

    I can verify that a P3P does not float. I have been swimming around for 3 days trying to find it. Mine had 43 flights in the same area and last week after about 12 min of flight, at the low altitude of 20 ft, it spun and tumbled into the lake. It too gave me "Motor Obstructed" notice. Have...

    Nassau county cops giving me hard time about drone....

    What normally happens, no one is present at their meetings when they create these ordinances to object. You have the right to be heard. Go to a meeting, take some pro drone people with you. Show them some videos/pictures you have taken with your drone.(cause unless one of these people fly drones...

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

    I took flying lessons after leaving the military in the early 80's. Then got into RC helicopters in the early 90's. Got into quad copters about 5 years ago. Got the P3P in January of this year. As with anything experience will come in handy if needed.
