    Safe to buy P3P from Amazon?

    If the order is 'fulfilled' by Amazon, you're good to go. Amazon have a very good returns policy so you can shop with confidence.

    New record for Stock RC !!! 33,231 ft/10,144m out AND back!

    I don't think he's flaming anybody, he's making a valid point. I've noticed that these forums quite often offer praise to 'achievements' accomplished by irresponsible or illegal flying. This puzzles me. We should be encouraging sensible flying. So it's important to remind everybody that (9...

    New record for Stock RC !!! 33,231 ft/10,144m out AND back!

    Apart from the law of 'common sense' (which is important in our recreational activity) I very much suspect that UAV's must be flown within line of sight - most Aviation Authorities define this to be within 500m horizontally.

    What is the fascination with record breaking and irresponsible flying? These threads always tend to be huge. Don't encourage them *yawn*

    DJI's comment on cracking around motors

    Interesting - I'm sure they must know which batch(es) have been affected, purely based on which P3's they have repaired/replaced under warranty for this issue. That's a very vague answer!

    DJI's comment on cracking around motors

    I would be interested to know which 'batch' is affected, and how you identify which batch the P3 comes from.

    Adding GPS to non-GPS iPad

    The only problem with putting down the RC is that you are no longer maintaining control of the aircraft.

    Hard shell backpack

    I'll echo that experience. I just haven't yet found a satisfactory solution for my iPad. (Oh, and a bottle of water on a hot day...but as I'm in the UK, I don't think that's an issue for a while)

    Adding GPS to non-GPS iPad

    Can a non-GPS iPad inherit GPS from an iPhone when tethered? I'm looking at this as an option to get GPS on my ipad.
