    Preventing Lost Drone

    I'm not saying that a data file is the only ID I have on my drone. It is just one more way that someone might find me. A label has limited space and may fall off or get destroyed. The chip has unlimited space for information and will likely survive most crashes and weather.

    Trees blocking my signal

    Thomas, please report back if you do try the mini 4. I just got a mini 4 and I'm wondering if I should buy Litchi. Ken

    This cannot be real right??

    I was interested in how they were planning on conducting the scam in that if you pay by a credit card, you can always get your money back from the credit card company. I always get a one use credit card from my credit card company when ordering anything from an unknown company, this way, they...

    FAA bans....

    And using a drone will not get you on an FBI watch list of people who purchased high res shots of a nuke plant.

    Phantom 3 SE cases

    I bought this on Amazon for $39.99. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XQVJ2JD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I had to spend 20 minutes with an xacto knife to make things fit well. You can't expect too much for that price. See my review on Amazon. Now everything fits really...

    Is Litchi good for P3SE?

    This is what Litchi sent me: Litchi | DEC 20, 2017 | 11:49AM UTC Hi, P3 SE is not currently supported. When/If DJI adds support for it in the development kit, then we will too. Kind Regards, Litchi

    P3 SE - solution to switching between FCC and CE mode, I used both, and it works for sure!

    Here is what Lichi sent me: Litchi | DEC 20, 2017 | 11:49AM UTC Hi, P3 SE is not currently supported. When/If DJI adds support for it in the development kit, then we will too. Kind Regards, Litchi

    No more Phantom for me.................unless..........

    If you have any tall trees around, watch the tops of the trees for movement. With a small abount of experience, you can get a good idea of wind speed.

    FAA bans....

    How about an automated system that shoots down anything within 400 feet.

    Trees blocking my signal

    I saw the rules AFTER I bought the drone. What I was saying was that there was no information I came across BEFORE my purchase that would make me think I needed to seek out and read rules.

    Not without taking a very long away around over a tree covered path.

    Trees blocking my signal

    Having never owned or flown a drone before a few weeks ago, the only rules I knew about were airports and something about maximum height. At what point in my shopping research for my expensive play toy do you think a reasonable person would have come across information on VLOS? There was...

    NTSB Report is out on Phantom4 vs Blackhawk from Sept 2017

    The real point is that most people consider an under $500 drone a play toy. The majority will understand and accept the 400 foot rule and the airport rule, but that is about the limit of their knowledge and compliance. Passing regulations for people to follow will not work. The only thing...

    Trees blocking my signal

    I checked it out. It does not list P3-SE as a supported model, and it is a lot of money to spend on something that may or may not work in my situation. However, I will keep it on my list of possibilities. Thanks for the info. Ken ===

    Trees blocking my signal

    A reasonable thought, but the route is not passible on foot, and I'm still not clear on how the waypoint system works. It sounds like I'll have to wait until new Litchi software comes out that supports the SE. Ken ===
