So this is what I found when I had that problem. The bracket that holds the joysticks to the chassis of the controller had broken on one side. You will have to open up the controller to check to see if the plastic is cracked. a dead give away is if there are objects loose inside of the...

Now that you mention it, There seems to be a lot of bug guts on my props. A member over on Yuneec Pilots mentioned how he could convert a cheap toy drone with a little paint and Styrofoam to look like a wasp and go and bug people walking their dogs in a near by park. I thought that would be...

I have had Hawks straight out dive on my P4P. There is a big pine tree in the yard next to mine and every year a pair of hawks (Red Tail Kites) builds their nest in it. During nesting season they get very territorial. These ones don't like my P4P but don't appear too bothered by my Mavic 2 Pro...

Has anyone ever noticed that your drone attracts wasps or hornets? I was flying at about 180' high and balls out and I kept noticing something flickering on the main camera. Didn't think much of it until I cam in to land when I noticed there were several insects following my drone. When I came...

Tis the begging of the end. It will eventually not charge at all. It is not the battery, it is the circuit board responsible for charging in the controller. Good luck, See other post about this topic. The way I get arround it is I have a small 12V gel cell attached to a small 12v to 110vac...

P4P and above. No questions about it. I saw a deal on ALIBABA advertising P4P for $400.00 minimum order 2 They only accept bank transfers orders and bitcoin (i think) If this is not a scam, it means that for $800.00 you have a primary and a back up or sell it on craigslist for $1,500.00 and buy...

Sooo,,, What happens when a Soviet nuclear submarine sails by? do you have to give them the right of way? Does it restrict sailing within 5 Nautical Miles from a port? Hawks? I got your hawks, How about getting eaten by a great white shark? I can just see DJI customer service on this one,,,

Yesterday I watched my drone fall out of the sky because a cheap propeller that I purchased from Wish.com broke off and caused my drone to fall like a brick from 130'. Learn from my bad experience. If it is mission critical, don't buy cheap stuff. Can you imagine what it would be like...

Hi Hikaru. I have the same problem. The Apollo Airfield is been "Bricked" if you are flying DJI products. However those guys flying model jets are seemingly unaffected. So the one place in the San Fernando Valley where you are supposed to be able to fly legally, you cannot. (oh! have you had...

Super glue is not the answer for cracked shells. The best stuff to use is that epoxy that is hardened by UV light. I had stress cracks appear on my lower half and applied the above mentioned glue. Months later I noticed a strange vibration before I took off. I inspected the cracks I had...

Personally I would land the craft and pack it up. Then I would ask the lady if this was her house. Then with chalk, white or yellow spray paint and mark the perceived property limits on the road in front to her house. Then about the middle between the start and the finish I would draw a big...

I mounted a rear facing go-pro to capture the expression on their faces as they chase me. But boy,, there is this big MoFo that lives right above my house. Here is a picture of him just having missed my P4Pro
