    Lesson about antenna placement

    Thank You ron-ep, Are there any early warnings that signal strength is being diminished to the aircraft? I have never flown the aircraft to any great distance (1/2 mile maybe). I would assume that the video signal would be affected and perhaps flight controls may lag a bit. Anything else? And...

    If a largish drone gets near a wall does it create a low pressure region adjacent to the wall?

    There could be a low pressure created. The downward flow of air from the aircraft is hitting the ground and spreading out. Some of that laterally moving air could be forced up the wall. That upward counterflow would be a low pressure that could cause the aircraft to move toward it (toward the...

    Trade-up Using DJI Trade Up

    Amazing! Thanks for the insight. I would rather give it away also. I have 5 grand kids that would love to cause havoc with one.

    Hi Everyone

    I have a Phantom 4 and I live in Waddell, AZ. I teach Geology and hope to use drone images in the classes I teach. I want to sharpen my flying and photography skills and learn all I can about the P4. Here is an example of the kind of stuff I want to do...
