    Bent Prop Arm: Fixed

    I’ll test it properly today to make sure it’s in the right place before I think about setting it. The wind looks good, I’ll report back.

    Bent Prop Arm: Fixed

    Cheers heres the shot of me getting out of the trees, its a bit corrupted but that's to be expected Funnily enough I've just been staring at the cracks and puzzling that very thought. Has anyone on here done anything like that before that may be able to give advice? I could easily fabricate...

    Bent Prop Arm: Fixed

    Warning, long thread and a fairly brutal approach to repairing a precision bit of kit!!! It ant pretty and it definitely isn't precise. So today I had my first proper crash, I was shooting in a tight area in some native woodlands here in Wales, I'd practiced a fair few times and had the line...

    Power available without battery?

    I wonder if they go through a lot of drones flying them for days on end?

    P40 + panno shot retrieval

    Wow, really impressed with the hangar app, it struggled a little on the horizon over the sea, but other than that really good, thanks Rootman. Hangar 360 photos from around the world. Another couple of bonus shots.

    P4 Flips Backward On Takeoff

    Yeah very random, I've also just discovered the hangar app thanks to someone one here, it looks great but it uses auto take off so I'm nervous to try it now.

    P4 Flips Backward On Takeoff

    I used to be on the Lifeboat crew here in Aberystwyth, they have a live online weather station which is very close to where I took off, I used that to check wind speed in real time, it was within what I'd taken off in before but yes a bit windy/gusty. Next time in in work I'll pick up one of the...

    P40 + panno shot retrieval

    I didn't think the standard PH4 could do Pano shots? Turns out numpty must be a UK thing then, who knew! we use pillock too, is that used across the pond? kind of means the same thing.

    P4 Flips Backward On Takeoff

    A fair while back my drone flew over my van and one prop clipped my CB aerial, I've flown many times since this and not had a problem, and being new I thought well crap! but all seems ok, but as you have said that about the notches I thought I'd post the pics of the prop that took the hit...

    NFZ Green Zone Blocks Flight?

    Glad you got it in the air in the end, still odd though as we are both undertake same green mist yet I can fly and yours is not having it. Wonder if anyone else can shed some light on it. I wonder what would happen if you crossed the line in flight.

    NFZ Green Zone Blocks Flight?

    I should probably leave this to someone who knows what they are talking about, but heres my two pence worth...... Is it the PH4 you have, I'm new to this but as far as I can tell phone signal wont affect this issue, you can fly with your phone in airplane mode, the AC has its own GPS unit that...

    NFZ Green Zone Blocks Flight?

    I'm in Aberystwyth under the same green warning zone as you and can fly no problem, DJI have made three separate EWZ for Aberporth with the biggest one covering the coast, this means every time I take off a warning screen comes up I tick the box saying I take responsibility for my flight, click...

    CAA - (c) within 50 metres of any vessel, vehicle

    I think I get what your saying John, I've had a look at the pictures and I'm still not 100% myself. See below my highly technical cad drawing, is it A we have to stay 50m away in a kind of geofence or B. I've been sticking to A but would prefer it to be B. Many thanks Ric
