    Stranded Crash On Business Building (No permission to access property)

    (I met a security guard who was cool enough to go out of his way to check the roof where he is not allowed to be and has confirmed the drone is on a ledge which is difficult to access (need a ladder etc) but would not provide me with the picture he took to prevent losing his job.) I think we...

    Stranded Crash On Business Building (No permission to access property)

    Hmmmmm. I don't recall the mention of the building being in the city or people down below. The operator already admitted his mistake and earned my respect. And by the way Monte55. I made a (what was to be a humorous statement) and your getting all uptight. Chill, go fly your bird on this fine...

    One size does not fit all

    We all already know of some bad apples, and unfortunately it will continue. That's a pointless discussion. We all already know what it takes to fly commercially and as a hobbyist, today. And it's been said many times before, "Using drones is not my life, but just another tool." In my opinion the...

    One size does not fit all

    Thanks for the replies thus far. I get the FAA and Real Pilots looking at us invading Their airspace. Certain applications like mine and many others don't need to conform to the Old Flying Regulations, or the newer revised ones. We Need new practical regulations, whether as a hobbyist or...

    The FAA had plenty of time to come up with more appropriate solutions! I would think that if I were being paid $100 pr hr, I could do a much better job of creating something worth while that really applies to this technology. (I as in We the people) Better than the 333 exemption? Sure, at least...

    A little late to the party, been a busy August. Just sending out a feeler to see if I'm in a minority or majority. I'm not happy about the FAA qualifying new guidelines/rules! Please assume I'm familiar with my profession, and have logged in many hours flying my quad copters(FC40 & P3S) for...

    P3S flyers, any regret not getting the P3A or P3P?

    I purchased the FC40 August 2014 for $500. Then added a few hundred for extras, like batteries, chargers, gimble, yada yada. February 2016 I purchased the P3S. Then added a few hundred for extras, like batteries, chargers, skin, case, yada yada. This upgrade was well worth it to me. In the...

    P3S died overnight.. ughh

    I don't believe firmware update is a problem. I've been having a similar issue as posted several days ago here(even exchanged my P3S). I would suggest trying a new location(as suggested to me). Don't overlook the simple procedure of trying another location. I did and it worked flawlessly. Some...

    New P3S losing video signal

    More evaluations: Go app is a no go for me.... Liche app, starts lagging then I change the device "preview quality" to 4mbps (from 6) it takes the lag away and works fine. Then I try the 10mbps and works just fine. So I now leave it at 6, seems to be the best for me on my 2 devices.... So maybe...
