    Brothers Turn Self In For Illegal Drone Flight

    No mention that they were flying after Civil Twilight? Was the UAV equipped with the required 3 mile VLOS anti-collision strobe light?

    Is there a way to search for an owner by FA #?

    Exactly! I have my phone number on both my P3S and P3A. It is written on a sticker labeled Contact Number and is stuck on the underside near the gimbal mount. Also I have my Raacke Rotor logo and address taped on the top of each aircraft.

    HDMI Output Module

    What about screen mirroring to a compatible TV? What I mean is, I have a Samsung S8+ phone which I use to fly my P3A. I should be able to mirror my screen out to a Samsung Smart TV. Right?

    P3A Post Crash video shakes (FIXED)

    It seems so. Once I get inside and saw the scraping I knew I had to get my screwdriver set and adjust that screw. While I had it on the desk I decided to replace all of the white cushions and the 2 pins. The post repair flights looked good except I didn't slip a ND filter on and, Boy of boy...

    P3A Post Crash video shakes (FIXED)

    Sorry, had them on private. I have that as the default on my YouTube uploads, Private unless I tell it otherwise. They should be visible now. Sorry.

    P3A Post Crash video shakes (FIXED)

    I loosened the screw and retightened it after pulling the arm up a bit. It doesn't seem to be rubbing anymore. I replaced all 4 white gimbal cushions and the 2 pins. Did a gimbal re-calibration and tested it again. Here is the post repair test flight. I'm not seeing the bad glitches as...

    P3A Post Crash video shakes (FIXED)

    Looking closer at the possible causes I noticed that the arm on the gimbal is rubbing on the mount. This is not good. It's probably what is causing problems. Need to research this and see if I can find a quick DIY fix. Any advice?

    P3A Post Crash video shakes (FIXED)

    Recently I got too close to a tree my P3A hit the limbs, then the ground. One gimbel mount dampener pin broke. I replaced it. I powered up the P3A and noticed a slight horizon tilt so went into the menu to the camera settings and adjusted it. I took it out for a test flight and the video is...

    Phantom 3 Standard Support and Parts

    You can contact DJI directly to see what they say but my guess is that you will be responsible for finding replacement parts on Ebay or similar sites and doing repairs on your own. Most repairs are pretty simple if you can find the parts and watch a few video tutorials on the subject. you'd...

    Log book/documentation apps

    I have been using Airdata and even the lowest paid plan gives lots of great information. I love being able to see all of my flight information with just a few clicks of the mouse.

    Another construction update video

    Another video in a series I'm doing on a house under construction. I remember less than 2 months ago I got the call to go out and it was nothing but a mound of dirt. It's been fun going out and getting these videos every couple of weeks. I can't wait to see it all finished. At least the...

    Hello from New Orleans

    Hello from St Gabriel, LA. You are going to love the P4Pro. I fly a P4P+ regularly for work in south Baton Rouge. It's a great bird.

    $367USD repair bill: worth repairing?

    Not worth it at all. I picked up a "renewed" P3Advanced for $489US. It looked brand new. I wouldn't spent the money to repair a Standard if you can find Advanced and Pro models for your price range of $500 to $600. Get the Standard back and part it out. Just my 2 cents.

    Share your flight checklist

    Absolutely, do a full over body check, then after take off spend about 30 seconds letting it hover and doing the "square dance" to make sure everything responds correctly. I also have a paid account with Air Data and sync my flights there to go over when I'm back in the office. Love all of...
