    Got my Section 333 Exemptions, But now I need a Sport Pilot Cert..... Ugggggg

    I would research getting your Sport Pilot Certificate in powered parachutes if you have an instructor nearby. They're the easiest aircraft to learn to fly and you should be able to get your certificate in minimal time. It is also most likely the cheapest aircraft to get a certificate in.

    P3 Stills

    In the iOS app, tap the button below the shutter button that looks like three lines with dots on them. A new menu will slide out from the left side of the screen. Move the shutter setting all the way to the right to a value of 7". To keep this setting, you MUST slide the menu back to the left...

    500m limit cracked yet? Not buying P3 before.

    As a certificated pilot, I can tell you that's absolutely not true. While the aircraft would most likely be able to land safely, you're looking at thousands of dollars to have the engine torn down and inspected to make sure there's no internal damage. A rule of thumb in aviation is that if you...

    Pre-flight Checklist

    Does anyone else have a checklist they'd like to share? I had a close call while flying yesterday that could have been prevented if I'd used a checklist. I was descending from 400 feet after taking a photo of a golf course for a friend when I noticed the red arm lights start to blink in...

    Any update on shipping ?

    That's the chat link I clicked and I posted what they told me. They are no longer providing "priority numbers".

    another newbie ?

    One of the deciding factors for me was that the Professional comes with a more powerful charger (100 watts) vs the Advanced (57 watts). Hopefully, this will provide for much faster charges, which will come in handy for videos that require extended and multiple flights.

    Any update on shipping ?

    I did that. They said they cannot provide a "priority number", only a customer reference number. In fact, they told me that the "final ship time" depends on the customer reference number.

    Priority #'s and delivery thread

    I ordered on 4/28. DJI said they could not provide me with a priority number, only a customer reference number. It was 28xxx. After seeing another user post that his reference # was in the 5xxx range and DJI told him this morning that his order would be shipped in mid-May, I decided to cancel...
