    Storing P4P Batteries in cold winter

    Up to now all of my batteries tend to die off before I get to fly I think it is 4 years since I bought my ph4 Pro and I have not had it in the air yet just hope we get some decent weather this year along with a bit less pain.

    Can you steal a drone from the air with another remote control or other technique?

    No except for my family, no partner at the moment and not for the last 21 years so no nagging about not doing the pots as soon as I finish eating along with no stupid rules about not building RC models in the front room even though it is getting hard to pass through without knocking something...

    Another newbie question

    You do not get a map from crystal sky just the same as your car GPS doesn't supply the map both of them use downloaded maps from the Internet if you are in a place you have never been before and do not have a Internet connection neither can supply a map as they do not have them available in...

    There's no general threat using Google Assistant with Go 4 app. DJI Drone could kill…

    Could you not just turn off your transmitter and let it just return to home on it's own? For myself I would never have any other apps running on the phone/display even though they say your phone can run several apps at the same time for every app you have running it cuts the clock cycles that...

    flying with other drones

    that was back in the days when you had to plug in different crystals to get different frequencies now except for the very cheap toys everyone uses digital devices which can alter the connection between transmitter and receiver just using software ( I class firmware as software) I am old enough...

    Can you steal a drone from the air with another remote control or other technique?

    the device we use to use would blank out every frequency it was a multi frequency transmitter blanking all of them at the same time but I accept that it was a few years ago and if you picked any that had never been used then you may have been able to get through all frequencies that were in...

    Can you steal a drone from the air with another remote control or other technique?

    going back a few years when I was in the army we had equipment that could black out all radio signals no matter the frequency it would just overpower everything within a couple of miles including radio and TV stations nothing would work also we had a separate device that would attempt to give...

    Why would it be wrong to have taken this photo?

    it sounds like Americans are getting more and more rules put on them every day soon you will have to apply to drive down certain roads as they are classed as critical infrastructure I doubt terrorists would bother to go to the place they are thinking of bombing and fly a drone before I think...

    Drone with back thrusters

    I think you have the wrong word anything operated remotely is a drone I think you were thinking of it would not be a quadcopter the word drone came from the military where most of their "drones" have wings and pusher props as they can stay in the air longer for the same amount of fuel.
