    Holy cow, what a night. Phantom 4 beware

    It's stories like this that keep me flying! :-) Good story! I agree with the other poster about having back-up landing sites. These landing sites can be used for multiple reasons ;-) As long as you learned something and no horses were hurt, the world is a better place now than before your...

    Still a rarity sorry to say.

    Video Signal Issues seem to be gone with new FW 1.7.0060

    I'm on latest and my video drops on the p3p. I haven't tried the p3a yet. I had to RTH from the RC. Scary.

    6.25 MILE Phantom 3 Flight this morning.

    So glad people are still doing this stuff. You must be in a warm climate. Our weather is keeping my flights to less that 10 minutes, and lower thrust levels, just for safety purposes. Can't wait for 60 degree weather again!

    Is this normal customer service?

    DJI support sucks... Can't say it enough.

    A Commercial With A Crook Using A Drone!

    Cars get a bad rap as getaway tools.... It really pisses me off.

    What to do with days old batteries?

    Battery experts on this forum are like oil experts on the car forums.... They all seem to be experts... While all the others that don't follow their expert advise seem to do just fine. Go figure.

    Threatening Email about FAA regulation

    They have no way of knowing if you are flying for compensation .... They would be in your mind... Not possible for them to guess why you are flying. I will ALWAYS say 'as hobbyist" to anyone that asks. Still very low risk on that million sided dice that you think we are rolling.

    How much are people charging for precision agriculture surveys

    Couple grand minimum. Software alone is an investment. I don't fly commercially, but I can't imagine how anyone could support any lifestyle charging anything less.... Especially if they went through all the BS of becoming "legal". $500 would be a retainer for lunch.

    Threatening Email about FAA regulation

    No official would ever know what your intent of recording is. Big difference. Pretty risk free unless you want to explain the recommendations, rules and your intent of use to them... I don't see that happening. It's not even rolling dice.... Unless your dice has a million sides to it.

    Threatening Email about FAA regulation

    this is the only type you'd need worry about... but the chances of him 'seeing' you are less than one in a billion... It's sad about all the work he put into this when he could just "do" it like others do. An electrician... I understand that... faulty wiring can burn down a house... actually...

    I don't condone it, but if you go 61 in a 60... well.... you know.....
