    Is Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 available for purchase anywhere?

    Dr. Drone, a DJI dealer in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada is still taking orders for the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. I have purchased a number of drones from them and had servicing done there. They are excellent to deal with. https://drdrone.ca/collections/dji-phantom-4

    Hello from Fredericton, NB, Canada!

    The RCMP used to keep their helicopter in the building (hanger) near the heliport behind the HQ building. Several years ago they moved it to Moncton, where they keep their Pilatus, so Air Services is all coordinated out of one location. The RCMP helicopter still flies into the heliport in...

    Hello from Fredericton, NB, Canada!

    Thanks, the peregrine falcon actually appeared in three pictures, the one posted was the best shot. Once I noticed something flash by on the screen that I thought might be a bird, but it was not until I had landed and looked at the pictures that I realized he had done several "fly bys". The...

    Hello from Fredericton, NB, Canada!

    Hey Kevbac. Welcome from Charlottetown, PE. My wife is from Fredericton and I get there several times a year either for work or for pleasure. Here are a couple of shots I took while in Fredericton in October, 2020. Got buzzed by a falcon while flying near the bridge.

    Fall Foliage Flights

    Hey Rotorwash, great to see another drone pilot from PEI. My wife and I usually go out somewhere different and fly each weekend. We rarely run into any other drone pilots. Met a guy flying at North Cape a few weeks ago, but he had a Mavic 2 Pro - looks like you have a P4. Great video. We...

    UAV use by First Responders / Search and Rescue and battery management

    I have two Mavic Enterprises (a Dual and a Zoom), each with 4 batteries that I am on call to respond with 24/7. I have them set for 10 day discharge and keep them on a 4 hub charger at home. Every three days I unplug the charger, and plug it back in to top off the batteries. I have a good...

    Drone destroys hornet nest

    Some precision flying. Great job. With the right trimmer on, you could be doing haircuts.

    love this drone flying stuff !!!!

    Yes. Many years ago I tried to join my brother in flying gas powered planes and helicopters. I did not have the patience to build planes, so purchased a gas helicopter - Shuttle XX if I recall correctly. Tried to learn to fly it for about 2 years and a lot of crashes before giving up. Bought...

    GL300A work on a Phantom 4

    Okay, had another go at it, upgraded firmware on controller and was able to successfully link to the P4 in Go4 and went for a brief flight. All is good. I guess the lesson is that if you cannot get a GL300A to link to a P4, try updating the controller firmware.

    GL300A work on a Phantom 4

    Thanks, I wish it was that easy. I have two P4s that I have had over 2 years, a Mavic, a Mavic Mini, and a Mavic Enterprise Dual. I tried linking both of my P4s. When I open DJI Go4 and turn on the P4, I get the following message popping up - "The current device cannot use DJI Go4, please...

    GL300A work on a Phantom 4

    Is anybody still using a GL300A with a Phantom 4? I had problems with my GL300C and read on a forum that the GL300A would work and had a better signal output. I bought a GL300A on EBay but cannot get it to link with my Phantom 4,

    Which I pad

    I have three iPad Air 2 that I use for flying. One has sim card capability, the other two do not. They work very well and have really dropped in price to buy used or refurbed. You can get a 32 GB Air 2 for around $200 on eBay.
