    What was your first drone flight?

    I have a video of my very first drone flight. It was a Parrot AR 2.0 drone. Yeah I know...it was a toy. But its this drone that started it all for me.

    Flight record of P3S spiralling into the sea

    Was flying my P3S yesterday, when it spiralled out of control and into the ocean. Very calm day, flying in a remote area, GPS satellites locked. Watch video to see it spiralling to its death :(. Just one of those things? Will send flight record to DJI, think they will be helpful?

    Glitchy Camera ..........Phantom Drone Crash

    To start off, the past few months I haven't flown it. The camera would act weird with glitches and sometimes I couldn't have control over the drone (Not in the sky). It got to the point where I couldn't even fly anymore, it was in a system error. So I just left it alone. Now to day I decided I...
