A local! I find that most flyers tend to be tight lipped on less common flying areas as no one wants it to become oversaturated with quads and drones and then the signs get put up saying "no drones allowed". That said, assuming there are no games going on, the practice field on RT 133 in...

I have a Breeze and I am active in a few of the user groups and can tell you that everything “wrong” with the Breeze is fixed with the Spark. To be clear, when I say ‘wrong’, I mean reoccurring pain points with ownership; overall the Breeze is a good drone that I like, but it has its flaws. 1)...

check your local CL for a missed connection, or perhaps someone should register dronepilotsmeet.com ?

I find that us CT flyers keep our spots pretty close to the vest. I regularly hit up four places, but as the weather is getting better there are more people invading my spots! :grimacing:

Nice! The 818 was my first quad too. I actually charged it up and flew it this past weekend. I'm amazed at how easy it is to fly compared to when I first got it. Skills take some time. State parks are no fly zones, but certain state run places will let you fly. DEEP runs the lake Lillinonah...

I have a noob question; How did you get the video without the actual drone? Or am I reading your post wrong and you got the drone, but you couldn't recover from the fall before impact?

I have the killer rc one and have zero complaints; DJI Phantom 3 Gimbal Saver | Killer RC Honestly, its never been tested in a crash, but it seems well built and the fit is great. I also have a CF camera guard that doesn't work with the pelican case mine lives in, so it never gets mounted. I...

Welcome Steve! I'm in the greater Danbury area and fly an X8 and a P3 as well, maybe I'll see you out there!

Welcome! I'm in Brookfield and fly a P3A and a Syma X8G as well (as well as other toy grades). I moved up in the toy grade world to the X8 to quench my Phantom thirst, but it had the opposite effect and I ended up wanting one even more. Ah well! Looks like Saturday should be a good day to fly...

Hello, new P3A owner in Brookfield just checking in. I've had it for less than 24 hours and have only done firmware and calibrations. I'm hoping to get out this weekend and give it a shakedown run.

Greetings! Some time ago I decided I wanted a Phantom, actually to be honest it was a Bebop. A friend of a friend told me to start with a small quad and work may way towards what I wanted and I would save myself a lot of headaches and expense. He instructed me that knowing how to fly was very...

Fantastic! Every time I drive by on 84 I want to fly there. Had they reopened when this was taken?
