    have you ever seen this ?

    I often fly from the base of hills that may be 1000+ feet high. 400 feet doesn't allow me to fly up ravines to scout hiking trails. I never see anything like this. Only the vocal message saying "Altitude limit reached. "

    P3P Barometer

    BP changes very slowly. Over a 1 day span, it may change by less than 1kPa providing there is no major atmospheric changes such as a warm or cold fron moving through. Major changes during a 20 minute flight is very rare. I often see my altitude at landing is several feet lower or higher than...

    Rainbow app for P3A anyone using it?

    I haven't. I had to re-install GO (3.1.52) (don't remember why) but was weary of it not working. It did, no worries. Off subject, more and more apps say they are not compatible with my Tab Pro 12.2 so it's not surprising you have that problem.

    Rainbow app for P3A anyone using it?

    No problems with mine. Just disabled nearly all apps and GO. Screen is bright, handles Las Vegas' heat, battery lasts for several flights. Latest software isn't always best.

    Rainbow app for P3A anyone using it?

    Hope you get everything working, the SM-T320 is perfect for this.

    CW or CCW?

    Left to right from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock is CW. Left to right from 6 o'clock to 5 is CCW. Left to right was an obscure description.

    How is signal affected flying blind side of a large hill

    Going by experience, you may not even get a low signal indication before it loses communications entirely.

    Guess what i forgot ?‍♂️

    I always have one in my case. I have forgotten my tablet or glasses (always have my phone and a pair of glasses in the car), but never have been left without SD card to record to.

    SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB MicroSD card issues...

    I use SanDisk Extreme Pro 65GB almost exclusively in my P3A but I use a 128GB in my Hero7 for about 6 months now with no problems. The thing gets VERY hot mounted to the inside of my windshield driving through the Nevada desert in the summer. I saw this kind of thing when I bought a Samsung...

    Crashed and destroyed my drone and the valuable lessons I learned.

    Bummer. I do as @Weston Ney and get right at the base of hills and fly to the ridge (if I can, some are a couple of k high).

    I bought 2 PowerExtra batteries some time back and have had no problems with them.

    P3P what happened??

    It is easy to make it write protected using an adapter since it is read-only when the slider is in the positoin in the photo above. It must be towards the bottom to enable writing. Just be careful when inserting the adapter into the slot to not move the slider.

    Las Vegas Interdrone

    I use an Android tablet and it never overheats. I do, but it doesn't.

    Las Vegas Interdrone

    Unfortunately, more and more of this area is being converted to Wilderness Areas, there is Lake Mead and Grand Canyon National parks and Valley of Fire nearby and there are very large special use air spaces for USAF testing and training; all off limits. It is getting very cramped here and you...
