Shame about your loss, could it have been a bird strike, you had a few guls in a few shots? Or a quick release blade let go, not fully attached? Buy a Skydio, my next drone will be their version 2. At least you should have better more transparent access to technical support and customer service.

If you were flying in atti mode, I suggest you lost your depth perception and simply flew into the stack/vent under your control. If you see an object and fly towards or near it make sure you can see daylight between the lowest part of the drone (skids) and the object and you will not hit the...

Do you use any detergent cleaners on the plastic which may cause the issue? My four batteries are over a year old now, no sign of cracking.....Yet

Looking at the witness mark on the aircraft arm, that was caused by the prop which was under power. Probably the grating noise you could hear. As it dropped out of the sky, it is unlikely it was running when it hit the ground with any power behind it so I suggest this happened in flight. If...

The only thing more regulation does is penalise people obeying the rules. Those hell bent of flying in such a dumb *** way will continue to do so regardless of any rules. They prob are not even aware we have any safety rules. Point of sale, hmmm how about needing to pass a test even to buy one?

Electronics repair shop view on use of rice. Fist one has some strong language so careful if children in earshot.

Will do, will prob just go straight on eBay though, thanks for the heads up

Will also throw in one 64 gig and one 32 gig U3 micro SD cards by San Disc if I can find them.

This is your chance FOR UK ONLY to own a fantastic P4P prior to listing it on ebay. So, who is interested in a brand new Normal Tx, a brand new P4P plus Tx, brand new drone with brand new camera unit. Two white batteries, two lower power creme batteries, Two, three point charging stations (one...

Also don’t forget those lucky dudes in the US with FCC mode have more power output from their Tx than us poor sods with the Tx in CE mode which switches automatically depending on the Tx GPS location....Gerrrr

So in effect the care refresh was not used as it was covered by a warranty repair and I did not need to pay a fee. Happy Daz!

I just sent the inner polystyrene wrapped in Black polythene back as I wanted to keep the outer cardboard mint for when I sell it on to fund the P5P. They sent the inner polystyrene back in a perfectly sized cardboard box, which I used to send it back the second time.

Had my P4P for 9 trouble free months when strange purple lines and pixelated images started to creep into my videos, the video downlink to the iPad mini started to get so bad I was unable to frame a shot correctly so I changed out the iPad lead with no improvement. The signal seemed to be...

Geerrr Eastbourne Council get your head out the sand ....Well out the pebbles. Beachy Head no fly zone.
