    What's the coldest Wx you would fly in??

    Should I worry about these cracks?

    My P4 is 2 year old, has 83 hours and just started cracking badly around the legs. I patched and reinforced everywhere I found a crack with 3/4 oz glass cloth and Ca glue. A couple layers works fine.

    Manual Orbit Maneuver on a Yacht - no dji features used

    Great shot! I practice it every time I fly. In ATTI mode with a light breeze is kind of cool too. Cheers

    Not only that, but a flight test with a TC approved inspector is required in order to get the certificate. I will book mine as soon as the temperature gets a little warmer. The rumor has it as the CQFA will have a study guide available by February.
