Well, at least it appears it was a Parrot Bebop drone and not a phantom: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/15/us/white-house-drone-secret-service.html?_r=0

During the cal process, the phantom has an internal heater that will heat it to the max temp. So if you start the imu cal at (making up numbers here) 25 deg c and the max temp is 50 deg c (again, made up numbers here), then the imu cal has accurate data from 25-50 deg c. If you do an imu cal...

Yea, Sparkly things for my better half. I find it easier to sneak new tech into the house when she's distracted by a new necklace ;-)

Let's not forget: You can save 15% on car ins..... oh nevermind :/

i hate you right now... ;)

So true. But every time my phone vibrates across my desk and I come here and hit refresh expecting good news.... well you get the point ;)

and now we head off track :/ lol

Same here. The boss booked up my schedule this weekend. Travelling out of the country and was gonna bring the bird with this weekend but turns out we have plans all set friday - sunday. Oh well, happy wife happy life and all that (this goes double for a pregnant wife!) ;) Maybe I'm more...

Seconded. Its just business, nothing personal. Shipping later than promised - that's on DJI. Mixed up shipping companies/notifications - that's on DJI. Stuck in customs - that's just normal. Nothing anyone can do about that last one. They'll be out in a few days. I don't lay any of that...

I had to use adblock to block that image. I come to this page too often to keep seeing that lol!

This is a preflight checklist created by Adam Savage (Mythbusters/Tested.com) for his inspire 1. Print it, laminate it, bring it with you - that sort of deal. Obviously, there are certain points that don't apply to the P3, but still very useful. You can find other more/less detailed ones out...

Welcome! Not to be a killjoy here or anything, but the P3 currently does not support waypoints (programmed flight) or follow me. Those are features discussed (at least waypoints) to be added at a later date, or possibly created by a 3rd party app through the dev SDK, but neither are available...

Yes, you've pretty much summed it up. For reference: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2384430&page=538&highlight=A7#post31546694 I can't find the exact beginning of the A7 vs A8x convo in that thread (20-30 new pages a day!), but here's a comment from blade strike on the matter...

+1 a bit confusing...

I saw a thread on here a day or so ago that spoke to it. Originally read about it in the rcg thread. Unfortunately, once I catch up there each night and then go to sleep, I wake up 21 pages behind again!
