    DJI Goggles Tips

    I've seen all kinds of eyeglasses fit, however, if you are old like me and your in need of a new prescription for reading etc, it's a better view without my glasses (but I'm nearsighted, so for once in my life it's a good thing) Diopter would also be a good thing. Note for initial setup: I used...

    Can the police tell me i can't fly my drone in a park

    Let's follow thru on this logic: I cannot take off or land from inside a National Park, legally. Can I take off and land from the street just outside this park, legally? I'm trying to avoid Any and All authorities, I just want to fly legally. (or are their too many gray areas in the laws to...

    Can the police tell me i can't fly my drone in a park

    I'm a newbie. Before multi-rotors changed the RC flying world, where would you guys fly if you were not flying at a legal flying field? Would you launch it from in front of your home and buzz around the neighborhoods? Strap a camera on it and check out the scenery? Are there places on the...

    Police visited me today 1 day after buying Phantom 3

    :cool: Must be Friday Night: drunks, nuts, and public servants. Just fly. Don't bug people with your flight. Repeat.

    Need gimbal parts for my new P3 :(

    I've been outa the loop since I damaged the Ribbon Cable on my Phantom Crash Test Dummy PV2+. After most likely more than one ESC not quite right due to my excellent pilotness, debris of all sorts inside my brushless magnets of evil motors, I've decided to wait. I will wait for more P3 pilots to...

    How much experience do I need to switch from Phantom Mode?

    Re: How much experience do I need to switch from Phantom Mod http://www.uavstickers.com/resources/web%20LED.jpg Good point, those just starting out will think the first set of rapid greens is Home Point lock, but it's actually CL/Heading lock, wouldn't want to take off too early, Patience is...

    Home Lock FAIL

    Home Lock works from 10m out, if you bring it closer than 10m it will automatically switch to Course Lock, CL is set during the first series of rapid green flashes after power on, where it will lock in your Orientation, the direction the front of your quad points. So maybe when it got too close...

    Crashed today - totally my own fault

    Greatness! Just learned how to solder (on a tiny Hubsan107 BTW...) So Phantom soldering will be a breeze. Good to know that the parts are still sellable. And to the youngsters out there, in no way do we condone the idea of crashing your very dangerous and heavy quad copter, that'd be very...

    Is there an RC Transmitter that controls more than one type?

    I've got micro-quads, mini-quads, and a Phantom. Is there a Controller that can fly them all?

    Looking for my first drone

    I have a P2V+ its awesome, but Id wait if I were to buy again. DJI has opened the doors, I'm going to wait for other companies to learn from DJI-issues and see what they (GoPro Drone) can come up with in the next 12months...just my opinion.

    Pre-flight testing of ESC?

    P2V+ V2 Post Crash RPM test, before rebuild: In the photo attached I've written on the props the measured RPM of each motor at idle. The lower left motor had the shell arm bent and the LED no longer blinks, but the quad still does the LED sequence successfully on the other arm) No flight...
