I posted the log at DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com if anyone wants to take a look

Thank you for your kind and helpful comments. I will get the log ready and submit it. It started down the street near the red barn. I was able to get it back into my yard and attempted to bring it down near the blue star, but it went out of control and headed across the street towards my...

My P3P went into Atti mode and became very difficult to maneuver. I panicked of course, and tried to work the controls, but it seemed to be flying away near some houses, so I cut the power and crashed. My question is what should I have done, and will a 100 ft. geofence still be in place if the...

I like the part at the end where we are advised to talk to the people hanging around. Probably good advice

Its people like this that gives all of us with neon green hair a bad rep. Probably the first thing you should learn (after realizing its not a good idea to start up inside the house) is the CSC maneuver, which means SHUT OFF. Don't pick up a revved up, out of control Phantom and try to shut...

Sheesh, all the bickering! I wonder what the mother replied to the text received? If this happened to me, I would do nothing except try to be very careful and not fly over this neighbors property. If the neighbor contacts you directly, address it in a neighborly manner.

This was an old broken shell. I just used Sharpie markers and masking tape and some gold sticky stars Goldstars by Jaime Ray Vaughn posted Apr 25, 2016 at 3:50 PM Maskingtape by Jaime Ray Vaughn posted Apr 25, 2016 at 3:51 PM Starsandstripes by Jaime Ray Vaughn posted Apr 25, 2016 at 3:51 PM

Placing masking tape to color stripes

Finished P3P with Stars and Stripes

P3P with sticky stars applied

Heres what I would try: Put up some marks so you can do the exact same Point of Interest every day. (as close as possible). Do a full circle. In your editing, pull out a half second every day until the project is complete. For a one minute video, you would have 120 edits. Or you could try...

I agree with Toph. I specifically asked the Amazon rep, that if i have a problem with this can I send it back and they said yes if within 30 days. Thats very comforting. The only reason I would buy from DJI is if they were offering something additional with the purchase. I have checked out...

I live out in a rural area. Yesterday, a helicopter passed by and it sure appeared that he was lower than 400'. When I have sent my Phantom up to 400', it is way up there and this helicopter looked to be below that level. I can't swear to it. He was not landing or taking off in that area...

There are three very small airports in my rural county. I plan on mailing a letter with my contact information and letting them know that I fly every day in this county, and if they want to contact me they may do so.

I agree with the others that you kept your cool and this is absolutely the way to play a situation like this. A couple of older men were walking down my sidewalk when I was flying in the front yard and one told me how cool it was, and the other said "Theres some girls with bikinis on over...
