    Rule #1: Stay Calm

    Ahhh discovered the logs in the go app....these little black boxes are great to learn from... once up at 75 ft altitude the bird was facing south and blown to the east 43 feet in 9 seconds with no stick input turned her towards the west against the wind, throttled forward @ 30-40% for 10...

    Rule #1: Stay Calm

    Was in GPS. In retrospect what I think happened: Took off with drone facing away, it got swept up by the gust, I likely advanced with the right stick which made it move away like a sci-fi UFO. That's when I got fingers off the sticks and re-evaluated the situation. There was certainly some...

    Day 2, progress!

    Thanks to the forum, back out today. Wind was 12-15 mph, temp low 40s. Got up 200 ft and out 500, tested RTH a couple of times, **** it flew back quickly - scared me that it would overshoot the first time so I disengaged it to land. Trusted it the next time and all went well. Regarding my...

    Lateral Play of gimbal/camera

    Son dropped my P3A this evening (curiosity about dad's Santa gift)....pick it up looks OK except camera facing left. I can easily center and that's when I noticed the small amount of left-right play In that rubber piece just posterior to the camera. My first drone, is this play normal? I gave...

    Hello everyone....I'm a dumb*ss

    Before first flight, the motors started indoors in beginner mode. Perhaps luck/glitch? The flight was outdoors in the same model, haven't turned it off since getting it. Auto take off asks for my swipe, then nothing happens. j
