    Phantom Vision Model and Version Numbers

    Follow-up from previous post. While I was upset that the tx did not come with an external USB port as advertised over the phone. I can now see that this is not that big of a deal with the Vision. I updated my firmware before my first flight and calibrated my sticks just fine. She flew perfectly...

    Safe response to police officer who says to stop flying

    First flight performed today with my new P2V at the neighborhood park, which is a city block in length and width. I was the only one present in the park as it was rather cold in Denver today with moderate winds 12G18. I kept in easy and warmed up with basic flight maneuvers for the first 5...

    Where to buy?

    I went with the GoProfessional pre-cut case. It is laser water cut pre-formed foam. It has a cool blue coating on top. The case is perfect for carry on/transport. I would take a pic and post it...but I haven't figured out how to degrade the quality of my photos with my iPad yet. :( price...

    Custom Phantom / P2V sticker set

    Very cool. 8-) I ordered a set and they arrived in less than a week. Great product. Fantastic way to support local business. $24 bucks to insure my $1500 is a no brainer. Thank you Estes Park. My stickers arrived 2 days prior of my P2V.

    Phantom Vision Model and Version Numbers

    I received my P2V today as we'll from B&H. I only ordered there after I called them on the phone and specifically asked the question about the external tx USB port...after doing a lot of research of this forum. B&H called their supplier and confirmed that the old shipments had the internal USB...

    French teenager with UAV charged with endangering lives

    And so it begins...the drone legal wars, for real. I too watched the video. The kid has talent and starts 2 busineses at the tender age of 18. I can't speak for the French, but in the US (depending on state) this would not rise to the charge of "reckless endangerment". You must show the blatant...

    Where to buy?

    After researching prices for the last several weeks, I went with B & H. I have never ordered from them before; so I called them on the phone. Customer service was excellent. They accept returns for the first 30 days. I did a P2V package but didn't like the case they offered with it. The changed...

    Safe response to police officer who says to stop flying

    Common sense is the key. Ignoring a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) is just stupid and will more than likely cause you grief. :o Be polite and comply with instructions. If you feel the LEO is rude or is wrong, politely ask for his business card. You can generally make complaints against an...
