    Intermittent Jerky Gimbal

    After almost 500 miles (yes miles not feet or meters) of relatively problem free flight my P3P's gimbal is intermittently going off axis to the right. It is noticeable both on the iPad monitor and on the micro SD recording. The first time I saw it I thought it was a wind gust that blew the drone...

    Arrested and jailed 13 days in Cuba for flying a drone

    I just got back Cuba. Before I went, I tried through every agency channel to get permission to bring my P3P. Long story short, I was told in no uncertain terms that I would not be allowed to bring the quad. When in another country it is ill advised to live by the maxim "better to beg...

    Possible answer to why some have cracked shells

    I balance every single prop. I still developed cracks after 1,000,000 ft and 164 flights.

    P4 Verge Not for Everyone

    That That $799 price looks amazing. If I didn't already have one I would totally forego the P4, and the Typhoon. That's a real no brainer......

    P4 Verge Not for Everyone

    Ugh Frank. :confused: That's never been the conversation we have been having but I appreciate your ability to pivot and redirect on a dime. We both agree the P3P is a great platform.... The Yuneec has a different set of advantages. In the end, and with all the extras you would put on the P3...

    P4 Verge Not for Everyone

    First off I am NOT dissing any DJI product. I love and will keep my Phantom 3 Pro and, if for no other reason than the Professional filter set from Renaat (Rainbowers) The professional filter set for the Phantom 3, it will probably remain my go-to sUAS. But Frank Let's see what kind of...

    DJI GO App losing flights when syncing

    Hey Ralph I just heard back from DJI. Amy wrote: "Hi, this is caused by the problem of the app, it will be fixed in the next app update". Hope that helps partner.

    Save your money kids... (If you're a P3 owner)

    Hey John I love Yuneec's direction and the new Typhoon H claims up to a 1 mile range (which is well out of Visual Line of Sight recommendations). I have flown Phantoms since the P2V and V+, both without Lightbridge, as well as my P3P with Lightbridge. While I don't often go beyond a 1 mile...

    P4 Verge Not for Everyone

    I can remember Chicago in 1960 after a WGN radio traffic copter crashed killing the pilot and the reporter, "Officer" Leonard Baldy (RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Larry Murray & Carole King Murray Family). The tail rotor failed and as it fell from 200 feet, it hit a bridge and the wreckage...

    P4 Verge Not for Everyone

    You are currently correct about flying in more populated environments, however I believe, in the long run, and with increased education and reliability, we will see a relaxing of this prohibition with the first waivers being issued to sUAS that have redundant propulsion. As the hobby becomes...

    P4 Verge Not for Everyone

    A good point Frank, however, and depending on real world feedback from early adopters, I am adding a Typhoon H to my existing fleet rather than going with the P4. By keeping my P3P (with over 150 flights and 1,200,000 feet travelled), I retain the option of lightbridge range. However, and...

    DJI GO App losing flights when syncing

    Weird huh? I also have the iPad mini 2 cellular. Fortunately and like you, HD has all my data. I wonder what's going on.
