To avoid and accidental CSC while descending. I have my left stick going down and the right stick usually going slightly up. So it comes down and at an angle, and not just straight down to avoid any issues.

Its been a while since I've lived in snow country. If you take your P3P out and there's snow on the ground. When those motors warm up won't that be a bad thing? Cool to hot on this plastic don't seem like a good idea since many of them crack reguardless.

Wow even a balloon is outlawed.

How do they know you registered with a real address, a real name and email address and didn't just create some burner information? You could easily register in your inlaws, brothers. Anybody can buy a Phantom with cash and then put in bogus information to the FAA or no information at all...

You'd think for 3 cents an hour or whatever Chinese wages are they could afford quite a few workers to man a call center. Don't they have prison labor like we do? That should be a penny a day or week.

Awesome idea as nothing could possibly go wrong:XD I'm sure there are alot of pilots with crazy ideas on what they could but shouldn't do with their phantoms. Most just don't post about it. If you do this make sure nobody is around for miles and don't videotape it and upload it online. The FAA...

That's pretty much what I plan to do. NOTHING for months and just kick back and see what happens. I'm not registering squat and I'll probably get more quads for Christmas. Where I fly there are only snakes and scorpions are around anyway. The reality of this is the gov is not going to fine...

Are there any exemptions? The government nearly always writes in loop hole exemptions for Congress, police and whomever they deem are above the laws for us little people. Good work mods having a good website where an actual discussion takes place and not just a bunch of trolling.

Well maybe that was last month, this month is different. Paradise Valley made all fly drones illegal just before this verdict came down from the FAA. This crap happens all the time when some small minded city council passes laws that conflict with the constitution. You must tell them ahead of...

I mean that new tax of $5 per toy will include the Millenium Falcon that I'm getting for Xmass. Pretty much any flying toy that requires a single AAA battery will need to be registered. So here is some trolling that is possible soon. If I wanted to be an antidrone **** I could drive up to...

Then entire task force was simply a dog and pony show. They already knew the terms they wanted to come to before they even put this task force together. They made a task force and announced it to the public but it was just a theater. The public no longer has a say in this democracy. This place...

This is great news for grumpy people who hate drones. If they see anybody with a quad guess what. They are calling the cops on you now. So get ready to be hassled each and everytime you fly at any public areas, parks, beaches, hiking. Then expect the cops to go on fishing trips with ya asking if...

I have only flown up about 300 meters. But from my understanding the simulator will max out your altitude at 1600 ft. But there is not distance cap in the firmware. I've flown out 1.3 miles away from and and turned back because I'm still new and breaking in my batteries. So the limitations are...

Saw this a while ago. Isn't the resolution around VHS level? If they ever put this out in 4k with a massive zoom on it like the police helicopters have. Then people are going to be way, way creeped out over drones more so than the public is already. But on the other hand this is good news for...

I run my bird using an ipad Mini 3 that is wifi only. I have an android phone but I don't run my bird off it as I don't trust android as much as I trust IOS. So you need to have a GPS enabled device to be piloting the DJI App then I take it? The screen on my phone seems too small to use...
