    Helicopter vs Drone..

    As a 15,000 hour helicopter pilot, with an additional 5,000 fixed wing hours, I can tell you that a drone could easily cause that damage. During my time in the saddle, I've had birds fly into the rotor system, bending control tubes, birds flying into the windshield and ending up in my lap, etc...

    I bought a used P3

    I won't dispute the "donkeys" comment. However, DJI recommended them and, ultimately, I got my P3P back and in fine condition. I am enjoying the machine and appreciate all of the help from the forum members. Thanks, everyone.

    Goggles

    I know this question has been asked, but can the DJI goggles be used on a P3P? I know that a hdmi module must be installed on the rc, but what else is necessary? Also, opinions on the goggles would be appreciated. By the way, I wear glasses. Thanks, in advance.

    I bought a used P3

    I bought a used P3

    According to the service center where my P3 currently sits, there was an upgraded version of the standard that was released about the same time as the advanced. It had the 4K camera with none of the other improvements available on the advanced or pro models. I hope my sources were correct. Thanks

    I bought a used P3

    Thanks, quaddamage. That would certainly make this one of the more expensive P3 Standards in history. I'll have to take a look at the P3P board and see where the differences lie. I did find a drone with no controller or camera on Ebay. Now the question is.......how different are the...

    I bought a used P3

    I'm new to the forum, so bear with me, please. Craigslist finally bit me. I purchased a damaged P3P from a gentleman who claimed to having a bird strike while flying at night. The drone was in excellent shape, despite the fact that the entire camera and gimbal were missing. Thinking that I...
