    This won't be good for the hobby if true

    Just to be clear, that was NOT Hawaiian Airlines, but Aloha Airlines Flight 243, a B737-200, April 28, 1988. It was the top of the fuselage, from just behind the cockpit back approximately 2/3 of the way to the wing leading edge. Tore off down to the floor stringers on the left side, not quite...

    Drone vs. Aircraft Wing Testing

    Interesting. We hit a goose on downwind in a DC-9-30. Hit the right slat just as we were extending it. Caused a rapid roll to the right due to the slat extension being delayed by the goose, followed by a recovery as the now smashed goose went on past. After landing, inspection noted a very large...

    How many people went straight to DJI instead of smaller drones first?

    Started with an E-Sky helicopter, then moved up to a Syma X5C. Crashed many times, still kicking! Then got my P3A. Almost too easy to fly after the others.

    No Fly zone close to private yacht

    Not so. If it were the airport, he would not be able to circumnavigate the boat, yet clearly he flies a full circle around it. Somehow they have found a way to activate the NFZ feature in DJI's software only around the vessel. My understanding of this post is that he could not fly over, but...

    "signal lost" with video and some telemetry

    It appears the main problem was trying to update a P3A with P3P firmware. I tried that once... it doesn't work. It doesn't help that DJI labels the Advanced firmware file with an "S". First time I did this, I thought that was for the P3 Standard, so used the P3P file. Nope. The P3A file with the...

    New P3P, should i update the FW?

    Also, make sure you have downloaded the correct file for the Pro. I tried using the Pro file once in my P3A and it didn't work. I thought the S was for Standard, but it was actually the correct Advanced file.

    Warning firmware update

    With the RC Firmware at 1.6.0, the A/C MUST have the new 1.8.80 Firmware in order for the RC to connect. It appears you have updated the RC, so you will have to update the A/C. If downloading and copying files from your computer to the SD card is beyond your ability, then find someone who can...

    How big is the need for a big screen

    Been using a Nexus 7, seems just about perfect for my old eyeballs. Got one just for my P3A, no other apps except the junk that comes pre-loaded.

    New Phantom 3 Professional

    I have the Nanuk 950 case. Waterproof, actually pretty much bullet proof. They also have a version without wheels. Solid cases.

    Atti mode question

    If you are switched on the controller to ATTI, you do not have vision positioning or any other positioning. The quad will drift. Also, if you start to fly in any direction, then center the sticks, it will just keep going, gradually slowing due to drag. you have to actively apply opposite stick...

    What Cheap tablet to Phantom professional

    I use a Nexus 7 that I bought exclusively for my P3A, and have no problems. No lag, everything works great using DJIGo. Am planning on trying Litchi soon. I have had my P3 out over 1 mile using only stock controller. Video link was still good.
