    DJI wants you to call if you have shell cracks

    Hmmm. Perhaps more material around the screws to avoid cracking? It has the indications of a thicker wall.

    P# Battery Charge Count

    Thanks Bob. I thought it was me. I kind of figured that was the case so I'll fly it a few more times down to 50%, then fly it to 35% and see if that jolts it's memory.

    P# Battery Charge Count

    So I'm trying to break in a battery for my P3P. Run it down to about 50%, recharge and run it down to 50% for the first 10 charging cycles. The other day the charge count on that battery said 6 charges. I've used it twice since then and brought it up to full charge and ran it down to about 50%...

    Using inverter to charge battery!

    I have a 7 year old Vector VECO60 175W power inverter I plug into either my cigarette or power outlet on my 1997 Nissan Pathfinder.

    Close Encounters of the Bird Kind

    They are more dangerous than REAL birds! Birds attack your quadcopter out of instinct. Snowbirds call the police out of privacy ;-)

    Close Encounters of the Bird Kind

    Northern Colorado here. Turkey Vultures gliding around above thermals looking for food. They LOVE to glide down and and check out my P3P. I try to move away but then they follow. I don't want to get in a dogfight with one since they are quite large and I know I'd be on the loosing end. I just...

    Ahhh, welcome back F/W 1.1.9

    Happy Days! Did 2 flights after downgrading to 1.1.9. Just like when I first got it with all the smoothness, stability and responsiveness I remember. I will NOT be the unwary beta tester when the next firmware update hits the streets. What was DJI thinking?

    How did this happen? Crashed under a bridge

    The Drone Gods were smiling on you that day! Great story, unbelievable luck and a very happy ending. Hollywood couldn't have come up with a better story.
