    Droneless

    been there ...done that ( in my case, my PIII was brutally chased down and attacked by a vicious tree. ) I don't know how I survived the wait until my "refurb." replacement P III STANDARD arrived. Life is worth living again

    Abusive, Intimidating

    ======================================= You dont seem to have a good grasp of how narrow-minded, vindictive, and opposed-to-change much of humanity is. Are you forgetting what happened to the first automobilists ? When they werent being pelted with rocks and rotten vegetables....they were...

    Abusive, Intimidating

    I couldn't agree more with the above posts. I have been punching holes thru clouds both here in my USA, and when visiting the charming country and people of Canada...let's see...almost sixty years now. With the exception of ONE U.S. Customs Inspector ( who finally started acting...

    Contacting Tower KDSM- anyone done this?

    DRONE OPERATORS AND AIRPORTS For drone operators in northern Arizona, I think we should all get together and have a meeting & operate our drones....a protest rally to discuss things drone. I know just the airstrip - BIG SPRINGS AZ 27. The airport manager is an incredibly good-looking...

    Abusive, Intimidating

    I suspect Canadian law is not that much different than our laws here in the USA in this respect; impersonating a public service officer is a VERY serious crime, good for a number of months, even years in some cases, in the "Graybar Hotel": Or, if these folks are actually public service...

    Being Harrassed When Flying

    =========================================================== REGARDING LAWS, FREEDOM, AND DRONES..... To a limited extent, I see where you are coming from, and agree with you about freedoms. Nothing new about human nature, and the desire of some to want to control what others do, even what...

    Nearly got arrested for flying

    Nothing new here. Knowledge is power. Some personality types need to feel they have power over others. Been that way probably since BEFORE we climbed down out of the trees. Drones are "something different". Anyone familiar with how the general populace reacted to the first automobiles...

    Age and Drone

    I am 77 ( and getting better-looking, sexier, and sweeter dispositioned every day). I am still passing my Class III "physicals", so I can still PILOT the airplane in the photo (that means I get in it, and when it leaves the ground....I go along for the ride )...and I OPERATE a Phantom 3...

    Hardware advice for new pilot - P3S??

    I also am new to drones. I operate a Phantom 3 "standard". Very satisfied with it - high resolution & outstanding color-saturation photography. The ability for the on-board camera to provide me with a "pilot's eye real-time" view is particularly useful. In other posts I have expressed my...

    DJI GO trouble

    ========================================================== O.K...I'll "bite". What is an "IOS" device ? Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I have TWO devices I use with my Phantom 3 "standard", an I PAD and a cell phone. I did the down-loads about a month ago when I got my "new" (...

    DJI GO trouble

    ====================================================================== Thank you for trying to help. Perhaps my question wasn't clear enough, so I will re-ask in more detail. Again, this question pertains to a recently purchased Phantom 3 "standard" that I am VERY happy with! I have (...

    DJI GO trouble

    DJI GO trouble I down-loaded from the "store" the DJI GO app. for both my I Pad and my cell phone. I like using the much larger screen of my I PAD - makes photography much simplier. My Phantom 3 works fine on either the I Pad or my cell phone, with this exception - for some reason the I PAD...

    Harvey Drone Warning from FAA

    As a general aviation operator, I sure as heck don't want some drone coming thru my windshield & ruining my day. I am sure various public service/rescue air-crew feel the same way. B U T Let's be honest here. There are a...

    Buying a refurbished phantom pro.

    ============================================================== I remain unclear, and have yet to have anyone else give me a satisfactory explanation, as to precisely what "refurbished" means in terms of Phantoms. I am on my 2nd Phantom now - bought both of them over the Internet for just...
