I agree. I would go and chat with them and educate them if need be. Show them what you see as to maybe put them at ease. Don't give up.

No, work called me back in. Another 13 hour day. I need to get out and practice some as the owner wants me to film some stuff around our facility. My flight skills are a bit rusty. Lol

Thought I would breathe new life in this post. Anything new going on in KC? I have today, Thursday and Friday off if anyone wants to get together somewhere. I was thinking of either trying WyCo park (not the lake). It's been a few months since I've been out and my job just installed a new...

I usually fly out at WyCo lake. But im flexible to go anywhere. Need to do some updates though I think.

Its been awhile since I've flown....probably 6 months or so. Depending on the weather this week, I would like to try and get some air this Wednesday or Thursday. Anyone care to meet up and share the air?

Not sure what state you live in, however I'm pretty positive that the LEO will have a field day with him for reckless discharge of a firearm. Next time he gives you crap let him know that the penalty for such a crime is upto 1 year in prison and, depending on if it's charged as a felony or...

No, I didn't check the value while I had the error. At that point I was just trying to keep the bird from floating away on me. However I see your point. It's just odd that if a pilot is to keep his eyes on the target at all times, and does everything properly during preflight, how these things...

Why would I calibrate if my sensor readings all showed within spec? No reason to calibrate if what was on my screen in between what is stated as normal. But alas, tomorrow I will recalibrate. Thank you for the feedback everyone!

Sorry, yes the second incident, the one I posted the video on, I also received a compass error, but this time the bird had the very noticeable sway. I always look at all values prior to takeoff and compass values were at 1489-1493.

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is flying well and safe! Have a question about K-index, satellites and compass reliability. I've learned to check the K-index before each flight at www.uavforecast.com and today it showed it to be a solid 2 all day. Low wind, gusts MAYBE to 15mph, partly cloudy, upper...

It's possible, but we'll see. I haven't had time to do proper testing yet, but regardless it will get the drone up and off the tall grass thus taking the possibility of the gimble getting obstructed away.

Ordering these immediately. I too only have a handful of flights and I don't need any issues to arise prematurely! Nice job on these!

My thought was to allow the downward air produced from the blades to go through in hopes I wouldn't have airflow disrupt my landings.

Just made a small 18"x18" from plexi-glass. I put a tutorial (with pictures) on here.

So I go out to a local park and they seem to like to keep their grass super tall, not ideal for launching or landing our P3's. I saw a heli-pad someone was selling for like $50+ and thought, hmmmm, I can make one of those. So here is my little tutorial on how I made my own Heli-Pad So here's...
