I have it and it is incredible. I can see it in direct sunlight as clearly as inside.

Well... it IS Sunday. :innocent: Those who are Christians that expect those who are not to recognize, care, or live as if they are, are naive. The fact that the others live in sin is irrelevant. They do. They just don't care (or know), and prefer to live the rest of their life as they are...

I'm not judging - not saying I do or do not fly out of VLOS for fun and distance. But... several have said they do off shore because it's safer there. As described above, it is your responsibility to see and avoid other traffic. Pilots like myself enjoy flying our planes off shore, too. A mile...

Sometimes, this place is bi-polar. I'd like to see what the answer would be of all these responders if an FSDO officer said he'd like to come along on your next flight to see how you do. ;) The last thread I read was about a newbie that wanted to do a remote, small town bike race. UNLESS YOU...

A couple have said that plenty would do it for free. My opinion: Plenty SHOULD do it for free. And, IMO, so should you. If you're charging, there will be additional pressure. If you're doing it for free, you'll relax more, and probably do a better job. If it turns out well, charge the next...

As a pilot who flies planes all over Texas, I can say that's not right.

I'm sure you already know this, but his drop was just fine. My first flight instructor was talking about how he flies to the AR outback to camp, fish and hunt with a buddy ATP. His friend had a fancy contraption you could pee in and clean out later. Sam (my instructor), in his very pronounced...

There are cases of that happening. One was when a commercial pilot flew his drone too close to the Nathan's Hotdog Eating Contest. Completely asinine.

No flight tracking software will pick up the majority of low flying aircraft. Even those with a transponder. At least half the time, I'm squawking 1200, and no software is going to show it. In addition, if I'm not in Class B or C, I'm not likely talking on the radio, either. And someone said...

Beautiful shots.

Just like Phantom, push button for a second and then immediately push a second time and hold in until it turns off - maybe 3 seconds. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

No doubt. I've got covered parking at both companies, but covered parking when it's over 100° is still hot. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Geez - I live in Texas. Planned on leaving it in the truck all the time. We sometimes don't get below 80 overnight. Guess I need to reevaluate.

Looks like the discussion beat my input. It's not in any of the manuals. In fact, the quick start manual would indicate that it's expected. I did. It didn't get any hotter than the battery alone. Nevertheless, the RC needs charging so rarely that it's easy enough to charge them separately.
