    Phantom landed on Aircraft Carrier.....

    What do you make of this article guys and girls? Firstly I've never seen a high wind warning, and certainly not one that forced the drone to land. Tiny drone lands on Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier - BBC News

    My first crash!

    Why can't I upload a video? It gets to 19% and then says network error. I was flying in P-GPS. It was my fault I left it way to late. The drone was travelling at 54kph when I let go of the stick, it continued about 15-20ft before it hit the bush, it was definitely trying hard to brake!

    My first crash!

    Well I was bringing my drone back in across the fields quickly as too of my dogs were fighting and I needed to stop them. Distracted by all the barking I kept the drone at full throttle way too long, when I released the throttle it continued flying straight over my head, into a bush. Although it...

    Why not just take off and land from your hand? surely much safer and less to carry when you head into the wilderness.

    Running out of places to fly U.K

    I'm halfway between Winchester and Petersjield. I too am getting bored of flying from my back garden! I've done 4.5 hours flying since I got the drone 2 months ago and I want to start exploring new places other than just taking off from behind my house! I took my drone with me when I went on a...

    Hello from the South of the UK

    Hi, I'm new (got my drone last week) and I'm near Winchester. All my flights so far have been from my garden (and one in the kitchen but I'm not doing that again!) Plenty of places to fly if you head out to the country side!

    Hello from Hampshire, UK

    Hi! I recently purchased my first drone, a P3 Advanced! 39 minutes flying time so far so it's all very new! I'm lucky enough to be able to fly from my garden with nothing but crop fields surrounding our house! I have some pretty cool footage so far but my aim is to get reasonably competent...
