    Just lost pro 3 in the ocean.

    I lost my P2V+ in the salt water, was able to recover it after a day. Rinsed it in fresh water and put it in rice, after 5 days I tried to see if it would work. It sparked then caught on fire. I eventually ended up buying a new P3P the next week. Sorry for your loss.

    TSA and airlines with my drone!

    I have flown many times with my P2V+ with 3 batteries. I have a pelican case that is airline size and have never been stopped by TSA. I don't take anything out, or have they ever asked me to open to check anything. I also always go through TSA PreCheck so that could be another reason why I never...

    Need help now! had to jump in water to save P3A last night now things arent working right.

    Mine was completely submerged in a pool for a few mins, I ended up taking it apart and covering it with rice in my pelican case for 5 days. Sealed for 5 days, I had to replace the GPS unit and 1 ECU and its back flying great again. I suggest leaving it in rice for multiple days.

    Airline restrictions on LIPo batteries in kit hardcase

    I uses a Pelican 1510 case and TSA doesn't say anything about it, it goes through just like my other bag, no questions. I'm not sure if that because when I go through TSA its through the TSA-Pre line.

    Yaw drift issue

    Yes right on the top, I put on the higher point as the bullseye level was just small enough to fit on top.

    Yaw drift issue

    I use to have a lot of drift during yaw, about 15-20ft. I pulled off the top and used a bullseye level and business cards to get it perfectly level. After the advanced calibration, my P2v+ now spins on a dime! Very happy.
