Almost 2 years ago I was able to achieve 44,801 ft or 8.48 miles over the ocean. Very scary coming back and landing essentially without any battery left. Never want to try and reduplicate that again.

Another great skin that increases visibility and matches well with accessories.

All white is difficult to see in sky. I like this skin which gives more contrast and is a lot more interesting. When matched with accessories really gives a nice look.

After a year no.

I live on the Pacific Coast bluff outside of LA and fly almost every day over the ocean for almost a year. My first day I was nervous about flying over water. Since then I logged in over 8 million feet without incidence except for landing with 0 % battery after underestimating the wind...

There is one more accessory you should all consider....Its nice to know the wind speed if there is any question about sending the bird up in it. Found on Amazon... HOLDPEAK 866B digital Anenometer Wind Speed Meter for measuring wind speed, temp and wind chill. $23.

MIne intermittently does the same thing after most recent upgrade. Cant seem to figure out what makes it work or not work.

I ordered one then cancelled. Decided to buy the goggles and learn how to use them and expand my MP use.

When I select fix wing it does not show C1 on the screen consistently only randomly. There seems to be no pattern to it. Once C1 selected it confirms its in FW mode and the speed. When I let go of the Rt stick it slows down instead of maintaining speed. Anyone have an idea why this is happening ?

Saw this helicopter that looked like a giant drone today. Anyone know what it is ?

I used my wifes make up triangular make up sponge. It fits perfectly in the space and protects the gimbal better than the hard plastic, difficult to install, easy to loose, snap in OEM. You can get them any where. But be careful about asking your wife for make up sponges !

This is a clip from their website insurance coverage summary. It doesnt seem to make a difference where you fly. Correct ?

What about the American Model Aircraft policy that comes with the $75 membership at no added cost.

Yes, anywhere you fly. I would think its essential for everyone to have it for only the $75 membership cost.

Here's an image view of the area. pretty open, unobstructed and not in restricted area.
