    A new use you never thought of...

    Count me in for using a drone for leaf blowing and removal. Fun and productive at the same time!

    Canadian Drone Pilot Voices need to be Heard........

    Thanks for pointing out the FlightRader24 app. I checked it out and it seems to work. My concern here in my part of the world..upstate New York.. is with helicopters of the medivac kind and the military choppers that are outfitted with latest technology at a major defense corp. and then flight...

    Inactive these past years, but the use of a drone sure would have been helpful when I was stringing dipoles for 80 and 160 meters. Don KB2AZ

    Top speed?

    58.6 mph on my P4A. Could have beat that yesterday with the 45 mph plus gusts, but I opted for the chicken out mode instead!!!

    Unbelievable!!!

    There is a bright side to this story After I agonized over the apparent loss of the P3, I went and bought a P4Advanced..a much more capable drone. Then I took out an insurance plan with the optional Treeside Service! Now I’m ready for the next event!!!

    Unbelievable!!!

    Oh it’s definitely only a hedge hopper at this time. Just the fact that it stayed outside in harsh elements for a little over a year and still connects up and can list off is remarkable. Maybe I’ll have it bronzed and just hang it on a wall!

    Unbelievable!!!

    Long story short. Last Oct. 2017, I mistakenly parked my Phantom 3 Standard on the top of my hill in the top of a very tall Oak tree...

    well I've gone and done it!! took a even bigger plunge...

    I am using the Phantom 4 Advanced and based my decision for buying it on the same idea. Great camera with more controls and the P4A has more useable range than the P3S that I had previously until I parked it in the top of a very tall Oak tree!

    Has anyone here NOT crashed a drone?

    Never crashed in over 195 flights,unless permanently parking my first drone in the top of a very tall Red Oak tree in the middle of a dense forest counts as a crash!!!
