    Flying Low Over Water.

    Many have made this observation - flying over water is mostly psychological....I mastered by taking baby steps out and back, over and over, until it began to be second nature. I do not fly over oceans but film alot over rivers (in Durango, CO), with a P-3. Though this job below was a real estate...

    Was trying for 3 miles this evening

    Fine with all of your ventures into la-la land. Why is it a goal to see how far out you can go? For kicks, passion, or for "safe flying procedures?" Have fun (and we expect your upcoming post asking why your Phantom disappeared?). I choose to always stay within sight - sorry, don't get old and...

    Phantom 3 Advanced Battery Life

    Mute message on Control

    Just a question - after several months of getting audio messages on my control (e.g., "ready for lift off"), and the beep sound of both video and photo , I now get neither. I am wondering if the "mute" is from my control, app., or iPhone I use with P3 app. The video and photo work fine, but I do...

    One on one Training

    Wondering if there is anyone in the Denver, CO area including neighboring states who would be available for a day training (with fee of course) for a new P3 pilot? If so, email me at: [email protected] or phone: 970-749-7384 Ted
