    Distance failure

    I've been fighting this issue for months. I even picked up another remote, but it didn't help. I even did what DJI support suggested and rolled back the firmware. The last test it was approx 30 feet up and with in 15 feet straight in front of me. It stop, wouldn't respond, then shot straight up...

    The infamous lose or week signal, max range 50m FW update bugs?

    Yeah I started having the same issue. Even replaced the controller didn't help. I know they are barely supporting the P3S any longer but they need to address these issues. Makes me not want to buy another DJI.

    Spokane fly zones

    I've flown within the Felts Field radius with no issues. All you need to do is call the control tower and let them know where you are located, how high you plan to go and time frame. All they have ever asked me to do is call them back when I was done. They are polite and easy to work with. But...

    DJI Care Refresh

    To me it's worth it. Granted I just sent my P3S in for repair but according to DJI it will cover my (user) error when I hit the tree limb and dropped it out of the sky. [emoji23]. I will I could renew it but you can't.

    Dead Battery at 47%

    I have a PH3 and it appears that DJI newest firmware is bricking them. I flew on the first one for 10 mins no issues. After that it would not power back on. The company sent me a another new PH3 battery. I put it in the P3S and when I powered it on, my iPad popup and said there was a battery...

    Spokane area

    I contacted Washington State Parks and they sent me the information. You have to submit the request 2 weeks prior to when you want to fly and it cost to submit it. Such BS... I can take my 4-wheeler or dirt bike and tear up the area in 9 mile.. don't get it. Remote Controlled Aircraft |...
