    Schumer calls for federal rules on drone use

    If you value your hobby and the ability to operate these vehicles, then you should be begging for a regulator framework. Anything potential dangerous deserves regulation - cars, motorcycles, boats: all regulated. Yet enthusiasts do not feel "stifled" by the regulations, but rather protected by...

    Rowdy new company article

    Actually this company seems legit. And if KPBC and Andreesen are backing it's a safe bet they actually have a business model. They are aiming to become the "Os for uas". It's an interesting play.

    No "B-B-B-B" sound on startup

    Looks like the WiFi extender is the P2V version (RE500) - oh well. Which raises the question - can you pair a PV2+ extender with the P2V successfully to get more range? Haven't cracked it open yet to check the board and ESCs. Maybe later? Thanks again!

    Hello, My new Vision 2 (just out of the box this week) flies great - but on startup it doesn't make the second set of "B-B-B-B" sounds, which I have heard (in this thread and others) is the ESCs reporting.

    No "B-B-B-B" sound on startup

    Thanks for the replies. It is definitely a phantom vision (not +). Delivered this week. And everything seems to be running just fine. Smooth flight, no issues, GPS lock seems to work. Is it just waiting to "attack" so to speak? Anyone else have similar experience? Thanks again.

    No "B-B-B-B" sound on startup

    Hello, First day with new P2V. Managed two flights without incident - GPS locked with flashing greens, no issues with flight that I noticed. However, in the course of watching some online videos I have noticed that my Vision makes a different noise on startup than it seems is present in most...
