90% of all of my flights have been from and to the aluminum slat tonneau cover on my F250. Compass calibrated away from truck and any metals. Never a problem and always clean air conditions without dust, rocks or debris. I must be a rebel to conventional thought - I also run a car tire on the...

I use pieces of plywood @ 2'x2' or sometimes a plasticore 18" x 24" real estate sign pinned to the ground with two 8" long spike nails. Otherwise, I fly off of the hard tonneau cover on my truck. The sign is one for my business so if I am ever legal for business use, the take off immediately...

Look in the upper right corner for the magnifying glass token after entering the search screen. On my screen, it is light black on a dark red background and nearly invisible. Once that is selected, the text entry line will come up. Attn Mods: PLEASE CHANGE THE COLOR COMBINATION OF THE SEARCH...

Galaxy S2 9.7 barely fits the controller's mount but works great. The oem folder can be left on and it will still fit with a firm nudge. The P3P is the only reason that I purchased the tablet but now I can't see life without it. Check out Google Earth in 3D on this tablet and be blown away with...

Motorola Droid Turbo worked fine when I tried it. I could not find any other feedback when I had searched prior to ordering the P3P. I am currently using the Samsung Tab S2 T810 w/ 9.7 screen with excellent results. It barely fits the holder and may be a tad heavy but it has great resolution...

I've been flying off of a 2' x 2' plywood pad in my field. The times that I've used RTH on my P3P, it lands right on the wood. This might be a result of the optical sensor as the pad is notably different than the grass as well as being used for the take off. I don't know if the optical would...

I believe that learning the drone first made all of the difference for you. It's just like when I learned downhill skiing for the first time. The instructor was "sure" that I had skied before but according to her, water skiing did not count. I know it did. I never took another ski lesson other...
