    Well, my friend crashed my drone

    Close encounters of the treed kind. 20 dollars to fix the first time. 60 dollars to fix the 2nd because of the pitch and roll board replacement. No accidents after the learning experiences. Don't hotdog low to the ground in a wooded area.

    Do Non-DJI Propellers Fly Well?

    Metal on metal can cause stripping of the rotor shaft, especially with cross threading,whereas plastic will not damage metal, even with crossthreading.

    I stopped doing firmware updates and use Litchi. $22.00 got rid of my headaches.

    Just purchased a P3S

    P3A has twice the range of the P3S. I bought the 10dB range mod for my controller to extend the range another 1000 feet. My comfort level on not losing the signal skyrocketed. P3S can lose signal suddenly. At least the RTH has been reliable.

    I lost my drone (P3 standard) tonight

    Hindsight is 20/20. I tagged my drone with my phone number. I got a call the next day from the golf course that I sent it over in a Litchi mission. The height at one point was set at 100 ft.- tree height. I should have set the default at 300 ft min. 60 dollars and 2 weeks later, I was flying...

    Homeowner in my Neighborhood claims I am trespassing if I fly under 500 ft above his house - legal?

    If he owns the airspace above, then he owns China, below. Read through past posts. This has come up before. Just fly around his area, and not over his area,in the meantime. I am sure that your stomach couldn't handle a pic of him sunbathing. I cringe at the thought.

    Crash landing

    Only pull down the left stick to land. If you pull down both, the drone will rear backwards as it lands, and flip over.

    P4 Advanced Crashed and Lost! Is it Traceable?

    Hindsight is 20/20. I crashed mine into a tree at a golf course a mile away and could not find it. I got a call the next day. They tried to locate me by the video on the SDcard. They finally called my phone number on the label that I put on the leg. After a new cable, new support bracket, and...

    It could also be a bad pitch and roll board.
