    Farewell to my P3P, it's been great.

    Sorry for the potty mouth, but we may well have brought this on ourselves with irresponsible flying. Our local hobby shop badmouths multirotors at every turn. He will not stock nor order anything to do with multi's. Needless to say, I don't shop with him anymore. The horse is out of the...

    Farewell to my P3P, it's been great.

    I'm getting disillusioned with the whole deal. We are planning a trip yo Cape Cod in July.... the entire National Seashore is No Fly, the towns can't pass bans quick enough. All the NY and PA state parks are No Fly. Can't even take footage of my own boat in the Watkins Glen harbor without a...

    Longer legs

    You might also try the black chinese landing gear extending / stance widening gear for $7.00 on Ebay. No potentially wire- severing surgery required. Snap on and off.

    Samsung phones and app conflicts

    Hi all. I have Samsung Galaxy S5, and have found there to be a conflict between Litchi and DJI Go. Both cannot be simultaneously installed, it seems. I have been playing with Litchi in baby steps, but find that DJI Go has a few virtues that I'd like to access on occasion.... battery cell...

    Reducing the vigorous "stop" by P3

    Backed braking to 90, and expo to .35. Lengthened control stuck. Pretty acceptable now. Thnx

    Reducing the vigorous "stop" by P3

    Thanks guys. Ran brake gain down to 80, and upped pitch expo. We'll see how this works.

    Reducing the vigorous "stop" by P3

    Hi all. I'm an intermediate Naza M pilot, but a Phantom 3 noob. I just took my maiden flight today, and couldn't help but notice how centering the pitch stick brings on a violent stop... I'm afraid the props might actually back off from braking thst must be taking place on the rear props...
