    Carbon fiber props

    I thought you, specifically, would like it. So, this Saturday morning, at Webb park, Arlington, Texas, 0800 local time. You...will be there, no?

    Carbon fiber props

    Gentlemen, Come to Dallas and bring your Phantoms with OEM props. We will have a fly-off.....winner gets the other guys drone. We will hire a judge, with drone experience, to make the calls. Let’s see who shows up.

    Carbon fiber props

    I did not know that! I bought my P4P well over a year ago and it came with the standard OEM props. DJI now adds them in? Interesting! Are they pure CF or plastic props partially or totally wrapped in CF? Are the pure plastic , fat, flexible white OEM props also in the box with new drones?

    Carbon fiber props

    My pure CF props are quieter...attested to by several friends who have seen the drone in action. No debate there at all. The type of blade IS relevant! My P4P handles high winds much better than OEM props.Steadier, can hover in more wind. With the OEM props I had to cease flying in less wind. It...

    CF props No, because the props produce faster responses the drone doesn’t get as far off before corrections, by the drone, are made. Smaller corrections made sooner result in smoother flying. A finer hand on the sticks is rewarded with smoother flying. Try’em...you will like ‘em!

    Actually, you don’t know what you are talking about. The CF props give faster and much more precise response. Thus, say in tripod mode, the P4P will respond to drone input faster and more smoothly..thus far more stable flying! Just because the CF props allow more speed, acceleration, braking and...

    100 mph? I’m really happy to see 60-70mph..except when the warp drive is engaged.

    Carbon fiber props

    What crap, dude! Get with the program! Saying that CF props don’t improve performance is like saying that new tires aren’t any better than bald tires (not talking about drag slicks here) because they are all “round”. Obviously you don’t have the resources, the nerve or the flying skill to do CF...

    Carbon fiber props

    Well...yes! 100% pure carbon fiber. You are correct, sort of, in that there are many “CF” props out there including plastic props wrapped in fiber. Some are not even completely wrapped in CF! eBay is not where one goes to buy top-of-the-line CF props. I have a digital scale which reads to .1...

    Carbon fiber props

    Carbon fiber props... I had my P4P to warp 8.8 last week while flying between Vulcan and the Klingon home world using CF props. Outran/accelerated/maneuvered three Romulan cruisers looking to board me and confiscate my load of Borg di-lithium crystals. Didn’t happen! CF props WAAAAY better...

    Roof inspection pricing

    I suggest the following: 1. Cash only. 2. At least $300 per roof. 3. The customer owns the chip/video. You do not do the editing. A. Once you become proficient in roof inspections it is usually about an hour setup to finish unless the roof/house is huge or has a myriad...

    Carbon Fiber Landing Gear/Gimbal protector- Pro or con

    If the gimbal protector is set too far aft of the camera it will interfere with the vertical navigation of the drone. You will get a message on your screen stating that the vertical sensing is not functioning properly and to land immediately. You should do exactly that! I almost lost my P4P due...

    Carbon Fiber Landing Gear/Gimbal protector- Pro or con

    Some drone insurance policies require a gimbal protector for the policy to be in force. I have found that using external landing gear AND the gimbal protector give some protection. However, I use the snap-on gimbal protector not the rigid one you displayed. It is hard to say if the rigid gimbal...

    Never transport ... a battery with power level higher than 30%

    Let me try to understand this...”fully charged cells are...less stable). Really? Yet, we put our fully charged cells in our drones when we fly them. Do we really, really have to worry about them being less stable when in our drones than in my backpack! I think not! These are intelligent...
