    P3A/P Controller

    I am selling my RC for P3 Pro or P3 Advanced because I lost my P3A. The RC is a model 300B and is in perfect condition (never dropped and always transported in a case). $130 shipped anywhere in continental US.

    Flying in your own backyard

    As far as I can tell, the "Airspace Restrictions" link cited by Richard R does not prohibit "model aircraft" operation in Class B airspace. There are notification requirements and other requirements for non-commercial sUAV operation to fit the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but permission is...

    P3P stuff: RC (model B), Charger, DJI backpack

    Yes, the pack is still available. However, I am in a different state now, and won't be back home for another week and a half. It turns out that shipping can be pretty expensive for the backpack - perhaps as much as $40 to some states. It's not THAT big, but too big for any of the USPS flat...

    Flying in your own backyard

    True. That's a risk anywhere, and the only way I can think of to eliminate the possibility of unintended flight into controlled airspace would be to prohibit flight within one battery's range of any controlled airspace. It's all a matter of risk assessment/risk management - something the...

    Flying in your own backyard

    What reg, specifically, requires clearance or permission for a Section 336 flight (meeting all requirements of that Section) in Class B airspace? As a Part 61 and Part 107 pilot, I understand Class B airspace and the requirements to enter it for manned or commercial UAV flights. However...

    Flying in your own backyard

    That's not quite correct (although the effect may be the same in some cases, and not just in Class B airspace). Model aircraft (meeting the FAA's definition) operated under Section 336 (and in compliance with all requirements of that part) are required to notify airports within 5 miles prior to...

    P3P stuff: RC (model B), Charger, DJI backpack

    My P3A rests in a watery grave. I have the stuff listed in the headline, all in good condition. Since I don't have the P3 now, I have no way to read the cycles on the batteries, but I believe one has about 30 cycles and the other, < 20. Both have been maintained at half charge since last...

    Samsung Galaxy tab s2

    I use a 10.7" Tab S2 with no problems. However, I have found that some Samsung products become quite picky about cables over time, probably due to the micro USB charging port wearing out or collecting enough dirt and lint that the plugs of some cables can't make contact. There are lots of...

    No, just ridicule. Perhaps a bit of scorn.

    Your Opinion Of This Police Harassment Of Drone Pilot:

    Actually, I'm pleased that the discourse here is relatively civil. (As opposed to, say, comments on YouTube which often devolve into vulgar flamefests.) It could be better, but all in all much better than it might be considering the subject matter. And it has been at least somewhat...

    FAA Licensed Remote Pilot shirts

    To avoid ridicule, I would advise not wearing this around an airport. That would be like wearing a "DMV Licensed Driver" shirt in the pits at a F1 race. I'm just sayin'.

    *** Posting About Your 107 Results? POST IT HERE!

    I took the test in late November. Missed 2 questions for a 97%. I am a non-current Private Pilot, and did not use any paid study materials, but spent about 8 hours studying/refreshing. Everything you need is available for free on the FAA website, but it is scattered throughout many documents...
