Yup. While landing it 2 years ago, I brought my P3a to a hover at shoulder height and hand-caught it Then, I tripped over my own two feet before I could shut it down. I think it tried to maintain altitude and keep itself level as I was going down and, anyway it got me in the forearm. The result...

I work at one of them also and I agree 100% with sar104...Yes it does, and no, you can't.

I am in Eastern Ct and fly a Phantom 3A. If I can help, please let me know. Compensation is not necessary. Email: [email protected]

Not true at all and I have the scars to prove it. Yup, I sliced my forearm up good while hand catching my P3A last summer. (After grabbing the landing gear, I tripped before I could shut it down...Doh! Standard props, turning at hover speed)

^^^^^This!^^^^^

That is VERY important. I have scars on my forearm to prove it! Lol!

For some reason, height has never bothered me (other than in breezy conditions). I won't mention what my record height is because I don't want to get jumped on here, but I will say it was before regulations made it illegal. (Yes, I know it was still irresponsible, especially considering the...

I'm also praying for you, my friend. I hope you soon see the light at the end of the tunnel. Remember that you are not alone. Have you joined any cancer support groups? I have two friends and one relative suffering from cancer, its effects and the treatments and support groups are where they...

I wonder if putting the mounting plates for qiick connect prop protectors helps or hurts thos situation. I know the plates will at least HIDE any cracks. Dammit! Now I gotta go and check mine again!

I fly my Phantom 3A using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 or my Note 3 and never had a problem. Am I just getting lucky? Should I be expecting a problem (Other than always trying to being prepared for anything)

Yeah, I probably wouldn't have gotten much (if any) video of the hawk since I was flying back while facing forward and the bird was mostly tailing the quad, but it still would have been a neat video. Oh well.

Maybe that's all he was doing but I wasn't going to take any chances. He was definitely more than just a little interested in it, but it seems to me now that if he really wanted it, he could have gotten it.

Today I took my Phantom 3A to Lowthorpe Meadow, a nature area near where I live. It is a natural wild meadow area set aside for the public to enjoy. As the name would suggest, it is a large meadow that has walking trails mowed through it. It features a small pond, some swampy areas and is...

Was my post really off topic? I was talking about the need for measures, currently being worked on, that would keep drones out of certain areas. The OP, Fall guy asked for our thoughts on the subject and I gave mine. If my post was in any way political, it was just the mention of the federal...

Sorry. Perhaps I misunderstood your question. The word "trolling" got me: Trolling 1. informal make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them. I wasn't trying to do any of the above. Glad you weren't upset...
