If I buy my phantom, im going to have to drive out to wider open areas to fly/ I think it will be fun. Take a couple extra batteries on an early sunday morning drive. But a lot of the areas I have in mind have ponds / lakes/ or lakeshore. I have a good friend that lives in Michigan on the...

OK...I convinced the family to trade -in the IPAD2 they got me. So I can get a mini or air on exchange. Seems to be likers of both...don't know the cost difference....I tend to not use a lot of the higher tech options because im not very good at tech stuff.... Just need something that will be...

thanks... I have parks and and places I could drive to in about an hour...but that sort of makes it something I think might wear-off after a while. I could see myself not using it too much after the newness wore off

This probably isn't the best place to ask " should I buy a P3" Obviously that's why we're all here...to enjoy these great quads... But before I purchase...I might re-think. I live right in the city...very congested. Lots of trees and wires...houses all crammed together on every street Yeah...

Thanks. So the ipad2 is like a slow processor?

But my regular IPhone6 plus would work? That's my regular phone

Its definitely an ipad2 2nd generation. New in the box. Is it because its only a WIFI device? Makes sense I guess... I was hooping to use it for flying the P3 My wife said I probably would have to purchase a data plan to use it without wifi. My regular phone is an Iphone6 plus..but small...

Yeah... I have to find out more information without offending my daughters ( they didn't get it for me with flying in mind) Its says IPAD2 new on the box Sorry to be confusing

I just got an IPAD2 from my daughters for my birthday...will this work OK for when I purchase my P3P? ( Im trying to teach myself more about tablet/device side of all this) mike

thanks

so this comes with it? but ...the quad is actually sitting still and running ( without props) ?

This is especially meant for George who posted to me yesterday. My message function isn't working so I thought id just start a new thread. George wrote " And do a lot of in the house flying with my bird on the kitchen counter, props removed and in their storage bag." What does that mean? Sounds...

Its my old-guy birthday today, and I think Im going to order a P3 I don't think I need the pro...and being not that technical, I usually don't uyse some of the advance features..... Also, without endorsing any sellers....does it make any difference where you buy from? Best Buy real close to my...

Thanks for all this...a great start. I think the relationship with video and stick flying is the part I least understand. I thought like with the cheaper toy-copters...you watch the quad fly and make stick adjustments.. When Pete said"The only time I begin to feel panicked is when I find myself...

thanks so much for all the replies. I already feel like I know 100% more than this morning ! Is there any advantage to buying at one place or another? I saw best buy is even carrying them now.....
