Thanks Meta!!! (Why can't everyone provide succinct and to-the-point replies??? Lol)

I'll preface by saying... I'm NOT attempting to circumvent FAA recommendations so please don't chastise me for asking this question without seeing & understanding the context. I'm standing near the base of a +2,000-ft mountain and launching my P3P. I want to fly up the side of the mountain...

Ummmm...You lost me at "The modern..." Lolo_O;)

I should have included this screenshot with my post. According to the screenshot I just posted, I reached a maximum altitude of over 8,000 feet on April 26. On April 26, I was at home where the elevation is 213 ft. ASL. There's no way I climbed to 8,000 ft ASL, AGL or any other **L that day...

Howdy folks from the great southern state of Tennessee!!! I'm hoping you can help me with something. I've searched the forums for some insight to this topic but can't find anything. On the flight log page of the my DJI GO app, there is a heading for "Top Altitude". What is that referring...

UPDATE...So I used the Chat Support function in the GO app. After the rep sent me a copy of the warranty documents stating that the frame isn't covered under the warranty, I started getting irritable. I let them know it was INCREDULOUS that they were unwilling to cover such a well-documented...

A peace offering for my wife, huh??? I'm still in the dog house for purchasing the P3P to begin with! A little bottle of nail polish isn't gonna phase her. Besides...I'm not about to tell her it's broken. I'll NEVER hear the end of it!!!!:grin::grin::grin:

Thanks for the insight, Alan! In light of your advice, I'll be erring on the side of caution and following your recommendations. I guess I misunderstood or didn't have all of the information needed in order to make the right decision. I was under the impression that, in addition to preventing...

After reading everyone's advice on this thread and researching the issue in other forums, I've determined my course of action... 1. I'm ordering the reinforcements and will attempt to stabilize the problem. 2. I'm also ordering a replacement shell. If the reinforcements don't stabilize the...

Both of those thoughts occurred to me as well. I absolutely REFUSE to leave mine in the vehicle. I enjoy flying on my lunch breaks. But instead of leaving it in my car, I take it into the office with me. Since I take with me every day, that means it also travels in the car frequently. But I...

Thanks everyone!!! I continue to be happily amazed by the sense of helpfulness and community in this forum! My heart dropped into my stomach when I first noticed the cracks. Further inspection has revealed another hairline fracture developing on the adjacent arm. That crack is currently 1/16"...

Hope this pic helps to illustrate my dilemma in the previous post.

Ok Fellow Droners...I reeeeeeeally need some advice and guidance here! As I was removing my props today, one of the motors felt like it had some "give" to it; almost like the motor was sitting on some kind of suspension system. When I examined it, I discover a significant fracture on the...

Although I don't advocate crossing the lines and/or disregarding the "suggestions/recommendations" set forth by the various authorities, I believe I can provide at least one answer to your question...EXPLORATION. Our souls want to see and do things we've never seen and done before. It's the...
