    Question about propellers and longevity?

    FYI, Master Airscrew recommends replacing Plastic props every 500hrs. Guys at my RC field swear that plastic props should be replaced at least every 3 years due to plastic degradation, but those RC hobby planes and racing quads are much more stressful on the props and sit it direct sunlight a...

    Had a visit today, regarding flying.

    Well done Ramjet! But so we don’t mislead anyone, you can let an unregistered novice fly under your supervision. But good call playing it super conservative!

    Clear Lake near Johnson Space Center

    Ha! I was JUST driving over the bridge by the park thinking how great the sky/lake looks for a drone shot. Well done.

    Need help smartcontroler

    Any messages? If not, and it’s just not recognizing the controller it may just be your sequence. Try this: 1. Plug in controller (powered off) to computer ( make sure it’s a USB3.0 compatible cable) 2. Turn on controller. (Your computer should tell you it sees the controller) 3. Lanch...

    Smart controller issue

    “Enable Intelligent Flight Modes” is under the MC Settings menu (Click on the drone icon). You need to connect to your drone for that Enable option to show.

    On The Way To Mars

    I just hope we see a “Pilot Check In” on one of these Pilot forums when it arrives at Mars in February. ?

    Crash with immovable object - Is my post-crash analysis correct?

    Well, crap. Just when I was about to reply back with "where?", I saw the 2 giant stick position boxes. Duh. Thanks!

    Crash with immovable object - Is my post-crash analysis correct?

    For you kind folks that look at Flight Reports and interpret our crashes, I'm looking for some feedback and a question answered. Thanks in advance! I flew my Mavic into the back of a truck and I *think* I know what happened, but could someone kindly confirm? 1 - Was flying in Tripod mode 2-...

    No image on smart controller

    Dang Langcpht, just when I thought I was getting somewhere! Oh well, good info either way. Thank you. Matt, maybe someone with more stick time than me can give you a better gauge, but it’s happened to me once in about 20 power ups (just got it a couple weeks ago).

    No image on smart controller

    Yeah, that helps narrow it down to the video caching being one of the possible culprits. (Assuming you’re caching your video). Thank for the intel.

    No image on smart controller

    Hi everyone. Had the same no-camera-Image problem. Just wanted to share an additional idea I got from an old post that fixed it for me. After 3 reboots of both the controller and Mavic, no Joy. On the fifth I re- inserted the smart controller SD card and everything worked fine. It is probably...

    DJI Shipment Packaging

    I ordered it from the DJI store during the sale in June. And, yes, the cellophane wrapping and box closure stickers were all intact. Should I mention it to DJI? Everything if fine so far but I’ve only updated firmware so far. BTW, Awesome avatar Old Man Mavic!

    DJI Shipment Packaging

    Hi everyone. Hope all is well! Just curious if this is normal packaging for DJI shipments. The DJI boxes were loose in the big box with no packaging material. Kinda scared me when I picked it up and everything shifted wit a ‘thud’!
