    Battery swelling

    I'm not sure a swollen lithium battery should be shipped by air under any conditions. It should have been shipped on the ground, maybe UPS. I know it takes longer but I wouldn't want that plane flying over my house.

    Battery swelling

    Does overnight mean they went by air? If so I don't think shipping unstable lithium batteries (or stable ones for that matter) on a plane is a good idea or legal, at least in the USA. People worry about our Phantoms falling from the sky. Imagine if they burst or caught fire. Then again they...

    Reasons to own a second Phantom (excuses for wife)

    As long as she never sees both of them at the same time how will she know you have two of them? Maybe just tell her one is a cheaper training model.

    Any recommendations on a tracker? Trax maybe?

    Prop guards for DJI Phantom

    I started with the prop guards and it saved me from three rough landings.

    How do you discharge batteries?

    What is the preferred method of discharging your batteries to 8%. It seems like it would take a long time idling on the ground to go from the 15% I have mine set at to 8%.

    Drone Mods UAV Locator - GPS Tracker

    I've been back and forth on buying one of these and kind of waiting on the Traxx to become available. The longer I wait for the Traxx the more I feel it might not pan out so it looks like I will be going with the UAV Locator when they come back in stock, but before I order I have some questions...
