    Safe Places To Fly Around Los Angeles / Torrance / Huntingdon Beach

    I don't know about a permit. I just called Burbank airport because I was within 5 miles and flying under hobby rules.

    Pigeons Under the Solar Panels

    I don't know. I'm not the homeowner nor am I the pigeon-stopper-guy. I just thought it was comical that as soon as I took off and pointed the camera at the solar panels the pigeons climbed out and flew away. If it were up to me I'd just shoot them with an air rifle (.22's are a little too...

    Pigeons Under the Solar Panels

    At about 7 secs as soon as the camera stops turning you can see one climb out from underneath. Look right in front of the vent at the top of the panels. You may have to view full screen.

    Pigeons Under the Solar Panels

    It's kind of a big deal out here in the Mojave Desert to have solar panels. But some of the companies don't put anything around them to keep the birds from nesting underneath. A co-worker asked me to come by his house and take some video/photos of the birds so he could send it to the solar...

    Best Backpack for P4?

    I have the Hobby Tiger hard shell backpack for the P4. My wife got it for me for Christmas as a gift so I did't do any research on it. I like it so far...comfortable and everything fits in it well. I like that it's a hard shell case and that it's molded foam inside. The foam is cut well and...

    Safe Places To Fly Around Los Angeles / Torrance / Huntingdon Beach

    I'd hike up the Hollywood Sign. I called Burbank tower before I hiked all the way to top and got some great footage. They were very laid back about it...just wanted name, registration number and how long I was going to be flying. You'll have to keep a look out for sight seeing helicopters...

    Just For the Heck of It

    Pattern altitude is usually 1,000 AGL. Single piloted fighters & trainers don't typically fly your standard downwind-base-final. It's more of a steady 180 degree turn from downwind to final. When they're "in the groove" from base to final they will be well inside 3 miles from the runway...

    5.8 vs 2.4 distance

    I thought that was the case. Reading the manual is doesn't show a 2.4 option, but I was watching a youtube video on how to change the frequencies. The video said it was for the P4 but it must have been for the P4P. Thanks...

    Question about Maximizing Remote Controller Signal (P3 Advanced)

    I have no idea, but I'm wondering why asked about a P3A when you clearly drew a P4P...

    5.8 vs 2.4 distance

    Is 2.4 available for the P4? I've looked in the settings and all I see is the option to manually select frequencies on 5.8, but 2.4 isn't even an option.
