    Police handcuff, detain and ticket Part 107 Pilot under aircraft ordinance that does not apply

    But isn't a park considered " public space" thus you can only cite him for an ordinance ? If the pilot is compliance with FAA 107 regs, what legal standing do you have to enforce that? Let's say the park had no codes regarding UAV's, all you can do is use the color of the law to ask the pilot...

    Police handcuff, detain and ticket Part 107 Pilot under aircraft ordinance that does not apply

    City Ordinances are one thing. How is it any different than a Helicopter flying over with unknown intent? You can't shoot at a aircraft for flying over. Obviously if it comes into a hover over a residential home, then it is questionable. I've had a USMC CH-53 Sea Stallion with 2000 HP each in 3...

    Police handcuff, detain and ticket Part 107 Pilot under aircraft ordinance that does not apply

    Since this is such a grey legal area, I don't see how police could arrest you unless its private property. Police Officers are not trained in various classes of FAA controlled airsplace. They couldn't tell you the difference from class C,E controlled airspace. I mean unless a control tower...

    German Shepherd destroyed my P3 4k

    I did have eyes on it. However, the sky was grey/white hue since the snow was coming in. After I lost visual of it, my thought was to drive up the street towards the last GPS location of it. Didn't quite work out. I firmly believed after trying to hit the RTH button, which was unsuccessful that...

    German Shepherd destroyed my P3 4k

    He got very lucky. That's for sure, most of his injuries were just his gums from biting the hard plastic. But no prop strikes or anything.

    German Shepherd destroyed my P3 4k

    We might be able to work something out. I would say the shell is pretty much done from Fido's bite force. Motors and gimbal look intact.

    German Shepherd destroyed my P3 4k

    Does anyone know where to get a P-3 advanced for under 500? I don't think I can salvage this one. But I'm setup for the P3 with my hardshell and batteries with gear. I looked on Ebay. hard to say really. I really want the lightbridge tech after this incident, the Wifi is shoddy at best and...

    German Shepherd destroyed my P3 4k

    The dog is fine, shockingly. You can see blood on the drone in the pic afterwards. I think that was from chewing vs a blade strike. Haha. He's a tough sob. Glad hes ok!

    German Shepherd destroyed my P3 4k

    I decided to fly my P3 4k in a light winter snowfall. I flew the drone from my backyard, I had a combination of power lines that caused interference with my signal. By that time, my drone was already 200 ft or so in the air and a gust of wind pushed it backwards. Frantic, I tried to steer it...

    Litchi app crashing

    Bought the Litchi app, flew around my p3 4k. Way point feature worked great. In the middle of the flight the app crashed and I was in manual mode flying around and laded it safely. I hit up Litchi tech support. But I was wondering what devices work well? I'm using a LG G5, which is a buggy...

    Litchi vs Ultimate flight for P3

    I'm pretty surei'll be going with Litchi regardless. People on the fourm have talked about both back and forth. Ultimate flight comes up. DJI Ultimate Flight - v3 - Android Apps on Google Play

    Litchi vs Ultimate flight for P3

    I've read quite a bit about both. Watched videos, just wondering what do you recommend for someone with experience with just DJI GO? I'd like to be able to set fully autonomous way points, like orbit features and planning. This info may be dated, But I was told that Litchi doesn't offer speed...

    Should I bother upgrading to a Mavic from a P3 4k

    Meh, maybe I'll hold out. Bestbuy sells mine for 599, i'd sell everything for around that price. Mavic is like 999, 400 bucks just to upgrade. Hard choice.

    Should I bother upgrading to a Mavic from a P3 4k

    I did a side by side comparison. The Mavic uses the same Sony EXMOR 1/2 3" that the P3 4k does, with a few tweaks. One being able to run 90 fps in 1080?. Very small difference I believe. I'm enjoying my P3 4k, I'm trying hard not justify to upgrade. I did some cost calucations, I'd have to pay...
