    Goodbye Phantom Pro

    After the many, many reports of battery release I decided that I would follow a simple set of instructions that we use in automotive assembly as it relates to the wire harness connections made on and around the engine. Push, Click, Tug. I always depress the locks on the battery when I insert it...

    Phantom 3 Advanced roll over by take off

    Two of your props are incorrect. In the picture it appears that they all have the same pitch. The props on the opposite corners of the drone should have the same pitch. The downward pitch on the prop should be pointing in the opposite direction that the motor spins, thus giving the drone lift.

    Cheking t

    Do not let this get you down. The first and second drones that I owned were both victims of my lack of attention. It was the second flight for the 1st drone and the 3rd flight for the 2nd drone. Hence, the screen name that I decided on. First one went straight up into a tree branch and dropped...

    DJI Problems

    WOW, is the only thing I can think of for this conversation. Just WOW. Too much conspiracy theory here for me.

    DJI Owners need to read this!

    I hope that the DJI drone supply chain is not at the top of the list of things that you are concerned about at the present time.

    Well, so much for trying to limit bans and limits...

    Three people that I work with have drones and none of them know the guidelines/regulations for flight. They will mention something they did with their drone and I say to them "Did you know you are not supposed to do that, per FAA rules?" The response is always, "I had no idea." None of them have...

    Those Bad Drone People.............:(

    Since there are at least a million times as many birds as there are drones then they should also include this story along with the pictures. Shocking photos reveal damage to Airbus caused by a bird strike | Daily Mail Online

    Invasion of Privacy

    I would report anyone, friend or not, if I were to find out they were using their drone to peep on or invade someone's privacy. We have to police ourselves or the government (local, state or federal) will. At 2:01 into the video the object appears to pass in front of the tree in the back yard...

    First Real Trip with Drone (Michigan); Few Questions

    I only spoke with a park ranger the very first time I took my quad to Ludington. I asked if there were any restrictions that would prevent me from flying in the state park area. I have never flown in any of the campground areas. I have only flown over the lake, river and sand dune areas of the...

    Just returned from a camping trip at Yankee Springs Recreation Area (Gun Lake) camp ground. There is a peninsula that has a large area including a boat launch, public beach area and a ton of open space to fly a quad. Been there quite a few times and talked to rangers more than once. Just need to...

Just follow the common sense rules that apply and there are no issues. Also have flown recently and multiple times in Yankee Springs Recreation area, while camping a...
