    400 Foot Altitude Quiz

    Well it all depends where you take off from. If you take off from the road by the river, as shown in the picture, your limit is 400ft AGL, not my "opinion number" this altitude is set by the FAA. However, if you take off from an area at bridge road level then you have 400ft AGL from that...

    P3P fell out of the sky

    I had this same issue just Saturday. I took off using a battery from the flight the previous day. It started the flight at 55% and 21 seconds into the flight, the first 15 were spent hovering and getting my position correct before forward flight. Aircraft reached 41 feet high and 25 feet away...

    FAA 333 Exemption Question- Already hold Private Pilot's License

    Here is my recommendation. Before filing for any 333 exemption I would recommend reading the entire Part 107 proposal to see if what is outlined there fits with your specific needs. If you google Part 107 two choices will come up. 1 will be the overview which is 2 pages long and tells you...

    FAA 333 Exemption Question- Already hold Private Pilot's License

    Or you could just wait for CFR 14 Part 107 to be approved and there will be no need for 333 exemptions and to hold a commercial pilot's license. From what I have read it will be around June/July 2016 when it becomes affective.

    Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.5.0030

    And I guess you are one of those people who thinks everything they read on the Internet is true. Just because you aren't seeing it doesn't mean it isn't there. Griping at someone isn't what this forum is about. If you only want to complain then try www.whineandcheese.org

    Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.5.0030

    Well it wasn't painful at all. I downloaded the new firmware using the links found in this thread and everything went just fine. First off, after firmware update I performed calibrations on ALL of my stuff. I performed a RC calibration (yes, I know, there wasn't a firmware update for the RC...

    Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.5.0030

    Mostly people are complaining about how DJI is doing what the government asks them to when it comes to limiting where the aircraft can fly, how someone didn't spell something correctly, how someone's grammar isn't 100% correct, how they believe DJI is becoming a government puppet..... blah blah...

    Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.5.0030

    it is 0711 CST, I just looked at the DJI website and no new firmware posted yet. Maybe yesterday they found some issues and decided not to post it yet. But I do not believe the conspiracy theorist on this site were correct though.

    Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.5.0030

    I started reading this post it was about the new firmware and the pros and cons of the new firmware but now it has turned into people complaining about what a company is doing with their product. If you do not like what DJI has done with their product, the software updates, the changes they...

    Directional Issues

    Those have been completed too, several times over the past few months. The wind where I have been flying has been off and on but yesterday was pretty calm so I figured it wasn't the wind.

    Directional Issues

    Good Afternoon, I have begun to experience some problems with the aircraft not responding correctly to joystick inputs. Many times when I push forward on the right joystick the aircraft will move not only forward but to the left or right sometimes more than it moves forward. If I release the...

    UAS Rotation during Way Point flight

    I have done some playing with the waypoint feature but have discovered I am not able to rotate the phantom during runs between points. Has anybody figured out how to make the aircraft rotate while on mission?
