    Great Video

    I thought all of Manhattan was a no fly zone?

    I'm sure that my comment or I will get kicked off the sight for saying this but I am going to. I thought that the video was good and I can't believe how much hate there is on this sight wishing bad things on this person. I personally think that there are too many government regulations (many...

    Getting cold feet about my upcoming purchase.

    Anyone can have problems. If you have fun you take a risk. A P4P is easier to avoid problems with since it has obstacle avoidance but it is a mistake to depend on it. I saw someone with a brand new Uneec Quad with obstacle avoidance and he ran into a tree and broke his camera off after...

    Has anyone here NOT crashed a drone?

    It is possible not to crash if you don't do ANYTHING with it. A Standard would be easier to get by without crashing because it doesn't do as much. I have a friend who has a Standard who never uses his and he never took it over 100' thinking that it wouldn't get hurt if it crashed from this...

    Tired of getting harassed when flying my sUAS

    Too many liberals wanting the government to control everything that we do. Usually people who aren't smart enough to make decisions for themselves and need someone else advising them.

    What's the fastest you've flown your Phantom?

    I flew into the wind about an eighth of a mile and flew back in atti mode. I got 80.3 MPH as recorded on my flight log. When it went over my head I could tell that it was moving. I must have gotten just the right wind coming back.

    Phantom 3 Sport Mode discovered

    Obviously not a stock Phantom. Phantoms don't record noise. This sounds just like a racer with a Phantom shell. Nice trick though. Nice mod.

    I made this Top Speed and couldn't believe it.

    When I went 80 I made sure to fly into the wind a ways before I made my speed run. I was having a hard time getting over 25 MPH. Then I flew back for my speed run. I had carbon fiber props. Definitely helps. It was fun watching my bird fly overhead at 80. It was really moving and fun to...

    Thanks, how did you know that it was my birthday?

    I made this Top Speed and couldn't believe it.

    I thought that was a really fast speed for a phantom. Thought that you might have put it up in a hurricane. Thanks for the explanation. I'm not with the FAA by the way. My bird has accidentally gone over 400 feet too. Somehow the 400' flight limiter on my settings got changed to unlimited...

    I made this Top Speed and couldn't believe it.

    Sweet. A lot of distance too. Altitude?!!! Need to be careful about posting that. I won't tell.
