    Is there a way to make the Phantom 3 control do this?

    If you are flying fixed wing bank and yank you aint doing it right. You should coordinate turns with rudder. Try flying a cub with no rudder and gentle left bank will result in a gentle right turn. How you could fly which may be easier is to forget bank. Right stick is forward and left is...

    prop guards may have saved the day as the props would likely have kept spinning?? and he was a dumb *** which prop guards can't help with.

    Prop guards ...Yes or No

    I think they are ok and still have mine on. handy should you ever tip over on landing to protect props.

    Ground Footage made easy

    it's a good idea and even has a built in phone holder so you can actually view the shot you're getting. might be better in white so it looks like an OEM part though rather than some high vis aid.

    So big you need four people to calibrate the compass lol

    got to have some trust in the guy with the tranny, he could give tummy tucks all round if he blipped the throttle.

    Dji phantom pro long range more than 6.5Km in Tiwan !!!!

    I think in the sticks with favourable topography with few structures and little metal work also not much RF in the air longer distances are possible, but try to get too far in a built up area full of steel and stone with various RF coming from every where and you won't get as far.

    DJI will soon be offering an HDMI out for the P3 remote

    some people like to fly FPV only, looking down at a screen that is not the easiest to see in daylight isn't necessarily the best option for some people, but as mentioned before by someone there can be a little lag in Lightbridge and it isn't the best option for fast FPV flying. at least with...

    DJI will soon be offering an HDMI out for the P3 remote

    those new 'headplay' HD things look to be great value but lack of head tracker if you wanted to use them with anything else that needed the feature? that is what is holding me off getting a set. they are around half the price of HD fatsharks, but a bit weird looking like a sort of extended...
