Lost p3p into the sea 4km away and got it back

What about Mal adroit and Mal aprop

And Mal efactor. I'm seeing a trend here. Coincidence? I don't think so.

 

[Eddyfisher]

Does it really take this long to put one of these things back together?

 

[Eddyfisher]

Mal, if your bird flies but the camera is OPD let me know. I had an incident after which I was forced to purchase a new gimbal/camera due to the arm supporting the camera being bent at an unlikely angle. The camera looks fine although it's never been tried since "the incident". Oh, and about the "Need to move somewhere sunny"...over 300 days of sunshine a year here.

Hope it's going well bud, I'm having a drink now for the project and keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

It's a ***** trying to get the ribbon cable into the back of the camera. The brown clip has come off and nearly impossible to put back on

 

[Boebe]

maybe this toolkit will help,,,,,

 

[Mal_PV2_Ireland]

Just fired her up, no power going to the gimbal or camera and the vps is making a ticking noise. She'll fly I'd say. Gonna take it back apart in case I missed putting a wire back. Imu and compass all calibrated normally

[Mal_PV2_Ireland]

Yeah opened her back up again, found one loose connection which stopped the ticking noise from the vps but still no power to the gimbal. The light come on the camera at the gimbal mount. So it's off to Germany with her i suppose and let them fix her up.

The P4 will have alcolock just for you Mal [emoji23]. Hope you get the bird to fly again [emoji111]

 

[dirkclod]

Well at least ya gave it a try Mal and you do at least have something to send em .
I hope ya the best with dealing with em !

 

[Mal_PV2_Ireland]

I'd say it'll be 8 weeks gone at least

That sucks ! make's ya want to slap ya head huh !

Sure you don't want to try scavenging a gimbal/camera with a bent arm? If it works you can send me what it's worth to you. Post from Colorado to Dublin HAS to be less than 8 weeks.

 

[Eddyfisher]

Of course if it doesn't work...there's the rub. Another 8 weeks.

Sounds like a perfect excuse for a reserve P3 to be procured and put into service.

Exactly what I did when I had my incident. I did my own repairs and had two P3P's in less than a week.

Ah give it a rest, there's always one. "Oh no they're gonna ban our drones because of you" people have been saying that for years. And "WE would have to do a lot of damage control" over little old me? Get over yourself will ya. Yeah flying drunk wasn't a great idea at all, I'll start doing my 100 lines as punishment for you.
See the thing is there is no irrational hysteria about drones here in Ireland. Everyone quite likes them because they are what they are and we don't think they are carrying bombs or spying on us because we know that would be just stupid thinking. If the phantom had have slowly landed on someone would it have chopped them up into a million pieces? Even falling full speed I'd logically take my chances that a phantom isn't going to kill someone. Go set up a page for like minded people as yourself and let us get on with enjoying drones.

Mal do 5 hail mary's and a few Act of Contrition and even us catholics will forgive you hahahahaha! I gotta say the flying police here really turn my stomach

Reality seems to matter little to you.
Since your memory fails you, I will remind you AGAIN that it was you who first began the insults when you suggested that the members of this forum would "get a good laugh" about the death of a motorist that could be caused by a drone landing on a motorway.

Please return to lurking. I have reviewed most of your posts and have to say that the overwhelming majority of your opinions do nothing to add to the body of knowledge created by this forum.

God I love a good racket!
