    Is there a new P3 checklist things to do when you get a brand new P3?

    I am reading the new p3 props are plastic hubs and they kinda loose threads due to force during windy flights

    Is there a new P3 checklist things to do when you get a brand new P3?

    i am reading all these props falling off and batteries dieing mid flight etc is there a list we can compile for all the new guys? Here is my attempt at the list 1. Check the description of the updates and read the threads before you upgrade the firmware on the phantom. Always good to wait a...

    People in and Around DC what are you doing now that the FAA has increased the radius of NDZ to 30mi

    well i am afraid that DJI will be coming up with a new firmware update that will make my quad not fly. I know i don't have to update the firmware but i heard that the quads stop taking off unless you update the firmware in 3 days something to do with the DJI Go app

    Crashed phantom 2 and broke one ESC what to do?

    The replacement esc I got says v2 and not v2.1. The motor is with the dotted shaft so I guess it is 920K. The stock props fit and I have multiple sets and this is happening with all of them.
