    my first encounter with a jerk

    First, I would have told them "I'm with National Geographic and we're doing a study on how foot traffic is eroding our beautiful State Parks". Second, I would have proceeded to tell them where the nearest gym is and that tread mills will give them the same results. Then, I would have told them...

    Crashed and Squeel and Smoke

    Here's what happened. TALL GRASS HAPPENED!..... So here in South Arkansas we get some pretty mean storms as spring pushes out winter. My clients thought lightening may have struck their antenna atop a water tower 160 feet up. Instead of climbing the tower (which no one ever likes to do), I...

    Stress Cracks

    Greetings fellow flyers! I have a P3P with 75 flights so far. EVERYTHING has worked to perfection, not one issue to complain about. I saw a video on youtube about these stress cracks and I've read several of you too have these cracks. The video I saw said the screws are just too tight from...

    Who has never had a problem with their Phantom?

    P3P - New from Best Buy- 75 flights, Not one problem (knock, knock, knock on wood). Learning to fly a bird with no GPS made all the difference too. Plus the countless hours of youtube videos I watched on the P3 helped tremendously. I was so use to drifting that it kinda became second nature to...

    DJI Future Firmware Update Ideas and Thoughts

    First of all, do the actual DJI employees, software builders, technicians, etc... monitor this site? Regardless, I'd like to get some Ideas of what could be improved or added in future firmware updates. My ideas: 1. Designable waypoints prior to flying. 2. Same as above but with POI on or...

    modified props

    My carbon fiber props have aluminum hubs and are 100% carbon fiber. They weigh a little less than the stock blades and are twice as quiet. The maneuverability, speed, ascent, and breaking all seem to be the same as the stock blades. All in all I have no problem using them. I'm sure there are...

    How do you land?

    I tried manually landing once or twice and each time was scarier than the other. Every time it wanted to tip over and luckily I recovered and got back in the air. I too started just catching for a while until I placed my faith in the auto land button. So far (knock on wood) every landing has...

    Flipped Drone

    Taking off and landing with the "auto take off" and "auto land" buttons is so much more reliable than doing it manually, plus there's no room for error. I almost crashed mine a couple times trying to land manually. So after a couple days of catching it in the air, I decided to try the auto...

    Too much negativity!

    I've had my P3P since Christmas.... Probably 50 flights so far and no crashes or trouble. Had a close call on a landing or two and one prop loose warning (@ 400'), that one scared me. I couldn't come down fast enough it seemed!!! All the props seemed tight though. I cant wait to get into...

    400 Foot Altitude Quiz

    JUST USE COMMON SENSE! If you fly safe and responsible, and don't draw attention to yourself, most people will just let you be. When you start acting a fool and taking risks that are unnecessary, you're just asking for trouble. DAP, when you say "violation".... violation of what? Is there a...
