    New use for old drone

    I have never used Litchi. I like doing hands on and setting up things for photo opportunities. I few my P4 with El lights. I had navigation problems, so I wouldn't recommend doing it.

    What to do with old phantom 2

    I wish I was with you. Salt water is my favorite type of fishing. My wife loves rainbow trout. No problem. I'll go get her a few today or tomorrow.

    New use for old drone

    Mine was crude stuff over 5 years ago.

    What to do with old phantom 2

    Maybe you can use it as a fishing drone? With no expense I made a tee type bracket out of a stiff piece of aluminum. I put it on the legs in the back of my P4. I looped my line over the tail piece and flew it sideways. Straighten up the drone and the line falls off. Well, try selling it as...

    DroneOverChina - collection of my best shots

    Great presentation. You are a skilled flyer and editor. I don't think with my Asthma, I would make it out of Beijing alive.

    Bad solar storms starting today.

    I don't think they would have a defined line on startup and stopping. It seems as though they didn't have much influence on our flying. I wish there was a little more discussion on the issue which seem to be important enough to be listed on Aloft. It was in the maximum range for causing possible...

    Bad solar storms starting today.

    I thought it would. My GPS in the car gets off track.

    Bad solar storms starting today.

    They expect K8 to a possible K9. So how will this affect our flying? Let us know if you are having any anomalies. It would be interesting to see if there are any difference from any other day of flying. https://www.earth.com/news/severe-solar-storm-will-generate-auroras-as-far-south-as-alabama/

    Gator eats drone

    I haven't found this on any other post. I could be wrong, but you have to see this. The batteries have ignited in the gators mouth. https://petapixel.com/2021/09/03/gator-chomps-drone-out-of-the-air-goes-up-in-smoke/

    Are there published pilot assault statistics?

    I love your posts. You just don't play the game right. Now be nice a play along. Lol. I'm older than you and that is my sentiment. I live by the Stealth rule. Few people have ever seen my drones take off, besides know where they land. Let's find something to get excited about. Lol. Much ado...

    Which (Inexpensive) Remote ID Module to Get???

    Now to get into trouble. Lol. I fly my mini 3 pro all the time. I don't like to draw attention and it is very Stealth. I rarely fly my Phantom 4 any more. Although I love the feel of flying it. I live in a remote area and don't think I will get RID. Is RID going to be a thing like when I was...

    Autumn landscapes in Slovenia

    The reason I made that statement, the churches I saw in Croatia had the graveyards next to the church.

    Autumn landscapes in Slovenia

    It is very hard to take a bad picture. Lol. All is very beautiful. Why is the graveyard so far from the church? I haven't seen you for a while. I was hoping you were still around.

    Remote ID Module Location?

    I put an aluminum strip made from a paint stick between the back bottom of the legs of my Phantom 4 for a diy fishing line drop. That might be a good place to put one. I never had any problems with it. The rid could set in the middle.

    intermittent black screen refreshing

    Try it on another device. It might not be your p3. No your Phantom 3 isn't old, but 89 is. With my health issues, I will never see it. Lol. Laugh or cry, it is what it is.
