    Do I have a Phantom 1?

    That doesn't sound right. Yours looks to have screw on props and the first P1s didn't. I got my first P1 in 2014 . Ver 1.1.1. It was a fairly new model then. It also had two antennas on the legs.

    Concerns all, FAA press release…

    I can't find the site to take the test. Just places talking about it. Anyone have a link to the test site. Thanks

    Phantom 1 stuck in fail safe mode with both receiver and transmitter lights green.

    recreational FAA Registration renewed without test AFAICT

    I just renewed mine . $5. I haven't taken any test . Good till 12-12-2023. I don't know if they will get back to us with that or not. They change their minds so often, I won't worry about it.

    Battery Life for Phantom 1

    Your flight time will also depend on how it's loaded. A bare P1 with stock 2200 ma battery can give around 12 minutes. As soon as you put a camera on it, that time will lessen. Add a gimbal, and you are going to have less time. I have 3 P1s. The one with gopro and 3d walkera gimbal gets about 10...

    Why gopro hero 4 with enabled wifi 2.4ghz is bad to fly with p1?

    Why would you suggest that using a Gopro on 2.4 ghz and a P1 phantom also on 2.4 ghz is a good idea?

    Why gopro hero 4 with enabled wifi 2.4ghz is bad to fly with p1?

    I have the GoPro Hero 3 white and two Sessions. I understood their wifi is 2.4ghz. Also, some P1s were using 5.8 ghz.

    Drone Mods GPS tracker

    I have a Drone Mods GPS tracker. It stopped working last year due to the service provider. I've had it for a few years and really liked it. I tried contacting them with no reply. I got to thinking...what if I got a different sim card from a phone store and replaced original sim card. I'm sure I...
