    Carbon propellers

    Actually using a Good Carbon Fiber Props is better than plastic in terms of rigidity. Using CB for the maneuvering and using the drone in a Windy Situation CB works better. But Functionality they are the same. Manufacturing of Plastic Props are a lot Cheaper than CF and they works the same, the...

    Apparent problems with DJI firmware etc?

    I am using DJI for almost a year now and upgraded 4 FW and now on the latest FW without encountering a single issue. Enjoy Flying just observe drone flying on a 3 meters high for a minute if no abnormalities seen (like sounds and hover issue) then fly it high and enjoy the Toy!

    Changing out motors

    Motors are the work horse of the Drones, DJI should have the research on the life expectancy of the Motor Bearings. This can be measure based on the numbers of flying hours. I believe they should be changed before they Fail. Just like our car we have PMS and replacing parts based on the mileage...

    Changing out motors

    Drones are flying and it's a risk to wait until the motors fails. Below are my Questions" 1. To DJI QA/Reliability group do we have specific number of flight hours before a recommended Motor replacement? 2. Is it possible for DJI to build replacement Motors that are ready for a snap on propeller...

    P3A 1080p or 2.7k?

    Changing from Standard to Advance is a Big change because of the transmission. Standard is using wifi while advance is using the lightbridge technology capable of transmitting video up to 5km. Now about the video resolution, I will not compromised on a 2.7K res with only 40fps to 1080p with 60fps

    Using solar cells to charge the Phantom batteries in mid flight.

    These might be in the future but now impossible. The weight plus the drag brought by the Solar Panels might create resistance and might use more power to fly our drone. However, if we have small panel that are highly efficient with higher capacity in small package, why not? But for now law of...

    Drone and RC Upgrades are different. Batteries are upgraded via drone sd card. You need to upgrade the RC separately.
