    Is wire mesh within cement/asphalt really a concern for interference??

    I work in the construction field and have 300 + hours flying P4P’s and Mavic 2 Pro’s. I generally launch from the roof of my car that has a glass roof but still a lot of metal. The P4P is more sensitive to magnetic interference. They have gone rogue a couple of times when going airborne. The...

    Phantom 4 Pro V2

    I have a Mavic Pro, 2 P4P’s and a Mavic 2 Pro. I’m the inadequate one here.

    Catching a Phantom 4?

    I agree with Andy. Whenever I land this way I make sure to grab the leg at the 90 degree point, never on the flat side. When de energized the drone will rotate and come down on your wrist otherwise.

    Master Airscrew props

    I started using these a couple of months ago on my P4P and M2P. I notice a big difference on the M2P with noise and flight smoothness. Not so much on the P4P. I ordered two more sets for the M2P since I’ve begun to use it more for quick jobs.

    Possessed Phantom 4 Pro

    I’ve had both of my P4P’s go rouge on more than one occasion. No reason. I let go of the sticks and it is like the energizer bunny, until it crashes.

    P4P moving slowly and crashed

    I have 2 p4p’s and both of them have done erratic flying on their own just after take off a few times. All times resulted in crashes, only one needing repair. When it happened a 2nd. time that’s when I got the other p4p. It’s done the same thing once. Frustrating as hell when it starts...

    Can you have too many drones?

    I have a Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Pro, and two Phantom 4 Pro's. I haven't flown the Mavic for nearly 6 months now. I have two P4p's because I found an excellent deal on a nearly new one. I'm a big fan of the camera on the P4P and I'm afraid they are going to take these drones off the market. Nice to...

    Flat panel antenna for P4P v.1?

    I have a set of the range extenders. I never use them though. I have a fear of getting beyond VLOS. If something goes wrong, I don't want to jeopardize my license.

    So, what good is "Part 107?"

    Agreed. I am about to take the exam again after 2 years. I’m a bit of a drone Nazi when I see people doing work with no knowledge of what they are doing, even not having a registered drone. While I don’t think every two years is reasonable I do however feel the test should be hard, otherwise the...

    Printing photos from P4P

    A client asked me to provide them with 8 20x30 inch photos to display in floating acrylic frames. I was a little concerned that images would lose some clarity but was pleasantly surprised with the results. You can have them printed at Sams Club for around $10 to $20 depending on the quality you...

    How durable is P4P?

    Of all my drones, P4P is the most fickle. It has taken off horizontally when hovering and crashed into a tree. It flipped over during take off due to gust of wind. Kinda like an unpredictable puppy. I have gotten it up to 54 mph which was impressive to me.

    Can you have too many drones?

    I have 3 drones and don’t intend to sell any of them. The depreciation keeps me from selling any of them because I just can’t feel like I’m giving something away. I fly them all but tend to use the M2P for work.
