    Why I crashed my drone - the art of learning by making (expensive) mistakes.

    I have had 3 different P3S, and I can tell you through experience, That if you clip a tree limb no matter how small, chances are one of the props broke. It takes very little prop destruction to put the whole drone out of balance. and then the drone will try desperately to compensate for the...

    See what I caught traveling at over 1300 MPH
