    PS3 with two extra batteries, Polar Pro ND Filter Set, Tablet Extension and generic backpack

    asking $200 for the whole kit and kaboodle, drone has approximately 150+ flights on it, near perfect condition save for the ubiquitous tiny cracks in the plastic turbine housings for the quad arms, was repaired by me with UV light activated resin and have never had a single problem since...

    Any P3S owners in Central & North Central Ohio?

    I'm on the Eastside but would love to shoot somewhere cool on the westside, and it would give me an excuse to stop at Fathead's

    Solar Storm - watch for GPS Outages/Anomalies

    That is correct, however, there is some evidence that solar storms can affect GPS satellite constellations and the like, hence the "Check for GPS outages/anomalies" part of the headline. Just want to make sure folks are aware. And the threat of this should be over by this evening anyways

    Drones will be banned?

    I don't see a full outright ban on the technology ever happening now, at this point you can't shut Pandora's Box (might be the wrong analogy, lol), but I do see a day when a similar setup to retail gun sales in the U.S. (computer database check at the dealership prior to sale) is...

    Drones will be banned?

    @ryantrax I hope you are right; A lot of dum dums making life harder for the responsible, certified UAV professionals that take this industry and the safety measures required to operate in the NAS very seriously

    MAJOR PROBLEM GUYS

    @wmcvey Agreed. I purchased this PS3 when a commercial license was just a very distant pipe dream. Now that I have obtained the 107 I am evaluating different options and looking to purchase in the near future. Was dead set on the Inspire Pro but I am not feeling the love from DJI customer...

    Also should note it sounds funny too; Can't really describe it in words but the props just seem really noisy compared to past flights

    MAJOR PROBLEM GUYS

    @roymoon Right, I've been flying this thing for over a year now, it used to sit perfectly still on hover, now it's drifting hard left and going over a few feet (i know GPS corrections are typically between 1-3 ft spatially accurate) The climbing thing, again, scares me even more, never had it...

    MAJOR PROBLEM GUYS

    Thanks everyone for the replies; Really appreciate everyone's help! UPDATE: Took her out after work last night and things were better. Only went about 200 ft + because things still didn't feel quite right. Signal issue seems to have been resolved, still REALLY bad video relay to the mobile...

    Sectional map test questions

    If you can get sectionals then you can easily get TAFs and METARs..it's basically memorization...I found flash cards worked well for me, didn't have any trouble with the TAFs or METARS, only part I struggled with was differentiating the different radio frequencies listed for airports on the...
