Thank you Kinsey! I'm having a blast with this thing!

I am usually right around home when I finally hit 30%, and I land when I get the low battery warning. The lowest my batteries have been is 28%. I would like to try getting to 10% just to see how the AC behaves when forced landing. I could put it 40 or 50 feet in the air and try it. I did...

The landing on a windmill is awesome. I'd never try it, but we do have some windmills around me....

I've had my P3A for three weeks now maybe... I've had a handful of compass errors, maybe one out of every three flights. I'll be flying along, and the app suddenly announces "atti mode" without me changing anything. When I look down it says compass error. It usually corrects itself within...

Also added a Marco Polo, not quite sure how close it will get me yet in case of a flyaway, but it's a little more piece of mind. I've gotten to the point where I've turned off my distance limit, and starting to trust the drone will come back to me when I lose the signal. Also learned how...

Well, I went flying again today, and I saw "Gimble Motor Overload".... again. Doh! Forgot the gimble clamp.... again. Thanks to DCDrone, for his great idea and hooking me up with a flag. Mod complete!

Quick question about range? What kind of range should I expect from the factory controller? It seems that I can get about 1,000-1,200 feet away from the home point before I get a poor video reception and then poor remote control signal message. A few times I have gotten a brief 'no signal' as...

How did you drop the phone on command? I was thinking that maybe you had it hooked to the camera tilt/pan feature somehow, but the camera wasn't moving when you dropped the phone.

That would be great! I'll PM you my address. I actually made that mistake today - not removing the gimble guard. I got a 'gimble motor overload error' and realized right away. I hadn't been using the gimble guard because it fell off in shipping and took me until two days ago to figure out...

I'm not sure exactly why, maybe someone can elaborate? When I decide to start hand catching, my impression would be that by using auto land (which descends pretty slowly, and steadily) would free up two hands to catch the drone instead of just one, and also removes an additional step of...

First day that I had mine, I was on the ground - landed. Went to disarm the motors, and the thing went nuts, flipped over, and I got a 'motor obstructed' (or something similar) error. I guess that was because I landed manually and tried to kill the motors via CSC. Now, when I manually land, I...

In regard to the tablet mount, it looks like I'm having the same issues as many before me.... Is there a way to stream video on facebook that includes voice from the pilot at the controller? I think that is what we were looking at when he was flying - it was on facebook, live. I do have a...

Got a few more flights under my belt, my Marco Polo tracker has arrived, and I'm starting to get a little bit braver - not in the way that I fly, but just in trusting the drone to stay in the sky and come back if I lose sight of it. I'm going a little bit further than I was last week. A couple...

Good advice here. When I bought mine, I bought it as a package with a case - just suitcase-style but it will work. I'm going to order the 'Remove Before Flight' tags - nice idea.

Regardless, it shouldn't have fallen out of the sky like that, correct?
