    Private planes and Med. flights under 400ft.

    I agree with all that was stated, was just curious if others have experienced this. I find this statement interesting though. "An altitude of 500 feet above the surface except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In that case, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any...

    Private planes and Med. flights under 400ft.

    I live in a rural area and fly over a private farm across from my home (with permission) and have had some small planes and A Med. helicopter pass over the property clearly under 400ft. I always bring the drone as low as possible asap when I here aircraft approaching. I try to fly responsibly...

    Refurbished Unit

    I purchased a refurbished P4, the label on the box stated (excellent - open box). I basically got a new unit for $400 less. I must admit I got lucky.

    Phantom 3 Standard?

    Thanks, I decided to get the P4, sent the P3 back (paid a $75 restocking fee) and ordered the P4. Estimated delivery of Jan 8. Gives me time to do a lot of reading up, this site is full of information for us beginners.

    Phantom 3 Standard?

    I know I really enjoyed flying brothers P4, video and picture were amazing. He also never had concerns about signal loss in the area. We were probably from memory out about a half mile. Working with seller of P3 on return and upgrade. Hoping it goes smoothly.

    Phantom 3 Standard?

    My first post, been here over a year, so go east on me. My wife got me a P3S for Christmas, and my main concern is that I live in the country and have a lot of rolling hills, tall trees along with open pastures. The range on the P3S is only .5 miles. I have flown my brothers P4 in the same area...
