Okay, so I am officially sorry I ever created this thread. My goal was two-fold, first to show what I thought were some interesting pictures to other done pilots, second was to ask the rule question I asked. To those who took the time to share their knowledge of the rules I thank you for doing...

LOL, you beat me to it.

Just for clarity, I asked the guy who sent me the pictures if the operator was flying over crowds, since it looked that way to me too. He responded that he was over a large open field with no people under him. This was well before graduation began. President Trump was the commencement speaker...

A guy I work with went to the a graduation yesterday. Since he knows I am interested in drones he was kind enough to send me these photos, which got me thinking. I work at a small college. We had graduation in our auditorium Friday evening. It crossed my mind to bring my P3s and take pictures...

Maybe I'm concerned over nothing. I just had concerns that since the tightness is a bit of "guesstimation", the more times I install them the greater chance of losing one in flight or over tightening. Admittedly I installed them without issue when I got the drone and once more when I replaced...

Just in case some missed it, the sellers of the vest clearly state that wording on the vest can be changed. As I read it a purchaser could have the "stand clear" text excluded for free.

They accepted the counter offer. In fairness to the seller I think much of this confusion is the result of language difference and the nuances of terms more than any effort to be misrepresent. To their credit they were extremely gracious and willing to sort the matter out. Now I'll see if taking...

I admit that one of my other concerns is that I have the props too tight or too loose. I didn't get the prop tool with my Phantom which probably doesn't matter as torque would still be a guess. I think I'll make a counter offer. If they take it I'll live with the case and hope it works out. I do...

The seller offered me $10.00 off if I keep it. Leaving props on was a big deal to me. I fear wear and tear on the threaded shaft. Also, more times on and off means more chances to mess up. Am I worrying for nothing? For the price I do like the case otherwise.

Nope, it won't fit with props on. I get the "waterproof" vice "water resistant" thing, to a point. The "yes it will fit with props on" completely escapes me. I mean it isn't like a buyer isn't' going to notice something like that!

Sellers butcher terminology, usually in their favor. I have no delusions that it will be "water proof" . I'm good with water resistant. I'll spray the soft parts with Scotchguard water repellent. My big concern is the zipper. I am looking for it to keep the phantom safe if I am two hours from...

I should have added that I really like the Go professional cases but they are just too pricey for my needs.

He says it is waterproof, as per the description, and that it can be used with props installed without bending them. I am not sure if the props can be misshapen if they are bent by the foam when stored in the case so I asked the question using the word "properly". I ordered it so I guess I am...

With people here professionally filming Norwegian Fjords and licensed professionals videoing major fires, etc. I feel a bit foolish talking about my first non-beginner mode flight, but here goes. I admit I was nervous. After reading the run away stories on this forum, etc. and the cost of these...

I bought prop guards right after I got the P3s. I bought the ones I did because two are white and two are red helping to ID direction, and they quick disconnect. I haven't installed them for two reasons. The first is that so many people talk negatively about prop guards. The other reason is...
