    About to drop some serious $

    WELL, Phantom Pilot Police.......My sincere apologies for informing someone that is in their words " thinking about getting into drones" and is new to all of this. So, in an effort to inform an new member about everything involved before they drop a grand or two just to find out later they...

    About to drop some serious $

    If you’re using it for extra income, know also that you need your Part 107 drone certification. I’m still a fan of the P3P (just personal preference) but I agree with the fellas here skip the P4P bundle or the pro+ bundle and put it towards extra batteries. Also insurance is going to run about...

    My review of the P4p+ Obsidian

    This isn’t knocking Autel as they do make a solid quad. These have a great track record and do offer a lower price than our DJI’s. But they too have issues. Every drone is the best until something goes wrong. End of the day buy what makes you happy and what fits your budget. Whether it’s a P3S...

    P3 Standard Motor Replacement nightmare

    Sounds like another thread here. And sounds like when you ruined a motor you ruined the ESC as well. 1 Motor "Twitching" Sorry you found out like that. You’re not the first one that has done that.

    Revoking 336 Hobby Rules

    Wow. A lot of good points on this thread and clearly some division between 336 rule. I was going to join the AMA because of the insurance and the weight they carry. Have to say I’m on the fence now. If you fly your MR in Atti mode would that be viewed as a “traditional pilot?” I also have a...

    Lost DJI Phantom 4 found... what now?

    I’m all labeled up as well. Great idea to put a “if found” file on the sd card. My FAA # and phone# are on the bird, gimbal, and battery. And registered with ReclaimDrone.com

    Lol. Comparatively my height and distance are almost laughable to some of the crew here. However I do retain VLOS so I guess I’m doing it right.

    EDITED by Moderator: Every rule broken!

    We seem to have some in the group that are either affiliated with or know people with the FAA among other organizations that are or will prosecute any of us if we break the rules set forth by the FAA. So why aren’t these people getting fines, jail time etc? I’m not singling these guys out. But...

    Welcome from Pa! Relatively new myself. Have many “ toy drones” but finally got a P3S and love it! Have my max set to about 330’ that gives me plenty of safe/legal room. Hope to see some cool pics/vids from ya. Welcome to the group.

    CREE light holders

    Words can’t even explain how bright the ARC II shines. Mine just came in today and it’s amazing. NOTE: Leave the plastic shrink wrap around the battery and board ON.

    STROBON Cree® LED Strobe Lights

    Just purely amazing how bright these are. With all the talk about “flyaways” and not finding their birds I gave these a shot. Words can’t explain how bright the ARC II shines. 3 modes strobe, flash , or steady on. Attached to the bottom of my P3S.
