    Crash Video! What happened?

    Yep, it sounded like that, but lasted much longer since I was a lot higher up. So what did I do wrong? I wasn't descending. I was going forward (full speed), stopping, and planning on turning around. Was it the abrupt stopping? Do the prop guards make it worse?

    Crash Video! What happened?

    It was a nice place to fly, unfortunately it was my first and last flight in that location :( I was in the desert a few hours away from Los Angeles (where I live). Unfortunately I probably wont be back anytime soon since its so far away.

    Crash Video! What happened?

    What exactly is VRS? Yeah it did sound like it was reving up right before and while it fell. I did have prop guards installed. So guards that add extra weight makes it more likely to crash? That sucks. Sounds like the revelation that some sunblock has chemicals that cause cancer. I'm trying...

    Crash Video! What happened?

    I was 10 minutes into what had been a perfect flight, when my phantom 2 vision plus just dropped out of the sky and crashed. I cut down the video to just the crash.

So the cops knew this guy and had zero motivations to cut...

    Specifically I'm in East LA north of Downtown. I'm pretty much between Glendale and Pasadena, and I'm thinking those cities might be better options.

    Turns out one of the parks near my house is operated by California Department of Parks and Recreation. Does anyone know if they have any ordinance like the one LA parks and recreation have?

    DJI "drone" flier arrested/Aircraft confiscated

    I'm looking to fly in LA. Ideally empty parks as I want flat area without trees, buildings, and people around. Now that I know about this law in parks, what are my options? Any ideas are welcomed. Also, what about land operated by Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority in LA? The only...
