Marco works great even in heavily wooded areas. I've tested mine in the worst conditions. Took the drone far out into the woods, even put it upside down and viola, located it with little effort. I found on the net a guy who 3D prints holders for the tag. It attaches to the leg of the...

Nice shots with the added difficulty flying around the overhead wires. Kudos, great job. Good nerves!

If you live in a homeless shelter how can you afford to have an Inspire? Sounds like a stolen drone call the Police and report this guy.

Great job with the video and editing. Looks like an older fossil fuel (coal burning) electric genereating station. I just videoed the last plumes of vapor coming out of our TMI nuke plant before they decommissioned.

Welcome to the forum. I'm located in Central PA., just Southeast of Harrisburg. This is a great place to educate yourself on drone flying and aerial photograhy. Sparke

Yep, know where you’re at. I got up your way once a month while working for a pipeline surveillance company. I'd fly with an observer checking out underground pipeline assuring the Feds that the pipelines were still underground and no construction in the area. When you get caught up drop me a...

Where in PA are you located? We make many runs each year to Knoebels in Elysburg. Got lots of friends North of the Berg so I'd be glad to add another. Also thanks for your service. I'm a retired police officer and flew commerical since I was 18. Getting older now so certailed a lot of flying...

Hello Tyhaines, I live just South of Harrisburg about 10 minutes. Travel North frequently along with my P4P or with my bigger drone as pictured on my reply. Would enjoy flying with another done pilot. PM me and lets see if we can get together and find some interesting places to photograph...

Awesome job with the filming and editing. Clearly a pro creation. Kudos.

Hey Rick, Welcome from just outside of Harrisburg.

I did see your previous post but still confused. My P4P can change between 2.4 & 5.8. So your saying the P3S is only 5.8? I thought I was on to something when I saw all the used boards on fleabay stating 5.8gigs. That’s what lead me down the path of thinking the replacement board may be...

I read in one of the posts where the motors and the mainboard can differ and cause problems. Also is there a 5.8gig mainboard or a 2.4 mainboard? I was about to buy another mainboard and it was listed as a 5.8gig mainboard. I always was under the impression that the P3S was strictly a 2.4gig...

I do have it open and everything checks out. No nicks in the wires, connectors are perfectly seated so I ruled out the antenna portion. Still wondering if I have a mismatch for mainboard? The a/c flies perfectly but about 600 to 800 feet out it does an auto RTH? Before I could get 4 to 5k...

I have a 138kv line crossing the rear of my property. I've flown about 10' above the highest wire which is the ground wire using my P4P. No problem at all. I also followed the power line about one mile to my buddies house and he does the same with his P3S. We stay over the right of way so...

Still doing my research on this P3S. I found my original mainboard and was trying to determine which board I have? How can I tell and what numbers do I look for? Also, I always was under the impression that the P3S was a 2.4gig signal but when looking for a replacement mainboard I keep seeing...
