These guys are very safe Under 400ft flying middle of nowhere.
I do not agree on people flying next to airports flying over cities and over populated area.
Personally I do alot long range over farmland and over water anything I probably done over (100 flights 40,000ft range test and (50 flights 50,000ft range test.
Keep your aircraft away from any airports (5miles) keep drone under 400ft your safe to go.

Ughhhhhh. When are people going to learn to hold their phones horizontally when making a video. Drives me insane!!! Did not watch.
Nice flight buddy landed with plenty of battery.
Thanks for the info tommymonkey, that was a great flight, there where I am am hoping to be .
pretty much everything Tommymonkey said is spot on!!
I also created a battery mod FAQ: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NUuhPPh1BoesdXXTFsT2HXic3qHCCKWehNnHQS0k1Yo
I also have a spreadsheet of good batteries. I sort by weigh/mah: Lipo/LIHV Battery Inventory List (4s)
I pulled it up just to make sure because I have my number on my batteries on question #35 it reads that we can put it on our batteries....I was about to run down and get my label maker out and move my number

Read #35 again. It says your registration number can be in the battery compartment, not on the battery itself. Just pull the battery out and find a spot for your label or you where your Sharpie can reach.
I emailed [email protected] and asked if I could put my FA number on each battery then slide it into my P3A I told them the battery clips into my drone and does not need tools to get to the FA#. I will let you all decide for yourself ....My personal opinion is that we can put the FA# on the battery
(A) Because it is legible
(B) It is affixed for the duration of every flight
(C) it is readily accessible and visible without the use of any tools
Ok wow. Thanks everyone for your input. I had no idea I would spark a conversation like this.
I actually tried to get my phantom out this morning. But I got incredibly nervous with all the wind. So I started to wonder how the phantom handles wind above 15mph.

I am glad you brought it up ......I would rather keep my bird legal So I don't run into any trouble in the future
So did you take the phantom out after all?
I went to a place called High Rock in Cascade ,MD about a week ago. I never gave it a thought of how windy it was on the mountain till out got out of my car. I was nervous but I gave it a try anyway because I remembered seeing a video on YouTube of a man that stated it was 30 mph wind gust on the beach where he was at and the Phantom seemed to fly pretty steady!! well obviously that guy must of been flying for a while haha. I got my new P3A out and she was struggling in the wind but I must say it did do very well !!!! I was impressed !!I only flew for a few minutes because I got nervous . But here is the video I edited:

The original video I shot there is longer but I cropped alot out because the wind was pushing my bird all around. But I never uploaded it to YouTube. I can unload it tomorrow if you like to see it.
