    Quad Shot Down in Louisiana

    The rule should be that if you can hit it with a garden hose nozzle or throw a tennis ball at it over your property, then it is fair game.

    Learning to stay calm when people are watching?

    I haven't had any problems yet in the South, people are more friendly/tolerant perhaps.... But how about wearing an orange reflective vest and a lanyard with a big ID type document hanging in front, even if it was just some nonesense thing or backstage pass or something. I bet that would fix...

    Magnetic reading glasses foul up compass calibration

    So I kept getting compass error when calibrating mr P3P. Turns out my magnetic "click goggles" reading glasses dangling from my neck fouled up the calibration. Even worse would have been had it not given an error and created a faulty calibration. Heads up.

    Forcasting the camera drone future

    So I'm a really optimistic person and generally expect technology and human goodness to win the battle over problems and such. The safety issue with camera drones will be solved by size. I think that in the not so distant future, this hobby will end up relying on very very small drones to do...

    Grammar police would say.... apostrophe is for ownership, "belonging to the p3" so no apostrophe

    How many of your own 2 p3's?

    I have two P3P. One is for my 20 year old son to use who was hogging mine.... I would probably have bought advanced if I did it over again because I prefer 1080 at 60 fps anyway.

    Catastrophic design flaw of Phantom 3

    Both types of propeller guards that I've bought, one removable the other not, reinforce that motor mount location quite well. Another reason to get prop guards.

    There's a lesson in here somewhere - and TSA destroyed my drone

    some quotes about DJI Batteries regarding battery fires -------------------- But there’s one more solution, and DJI, creator of the popular DJI Phantom series of quadcopters, holds the patent to it. Shortly after the launch of the original Phantom, developers with DJI wanted to ensure that...

    Litchi trumps DJI Intelligent Flight Mode by a lot!

    So with Litchi app, can you set waypoints that are outside of your reception/transmission range or will the P3 automatically revert to RTH at such a time? Sorry if this has been mentioned but I didnt see it. Ill go get an android tablet if that is the case...

    Lost p3p into the sea 4km away and got it back

    Circuit board electronics that get wet fail for several reasons. The things that help most are to do what you can to reduce corrosion that might short circuits that are very close to each other and to reduce contact failures on ribbon cables and pin cables. I would take it apart, unplug...
