    4Hawks Antenna Installation

    Sorry for not following up on the range tests, I haven't flown my drone since around the time of this post. One of the issues I've had is that I live within 4 miles from a busy airport, and in line with a runway. I'm only allowed to fly up to 50 feet so it's kind of taken the wind out of my...

    Mavic Pro Batteries on Sale at Target

    Thanks OP!! Just picked up 2....hopefully they're not 2 years old though! How do you know the manufacture date? It's been 5 months since I've flown and I think I forgot everything!

Just watch the forum classified for good deals...they're out there. Now if you...

    Circular antennas for modified Mavic Pro controller question.

    Well...in my opinion you need to boost both signals....outgoing and incoming. I put together a system by buying it piecemeal and it works fantastic!

    Which goggles are best

    DJI and focus-fixers provide corrective lenses if you need them. They snap right into the DJI goggles and will replace the need for glasses.

    Complete Beginner. Just purchased a Mavic. What have I done!

    The Mavic is a breeze to fly. Start in an OPEN FIELD using beginner mode, try to get as many hours as you can and then switch to regular flight when you feel confident enough. Did I mention you should start in an OPEN FIELD? Forget buying the X5...that's a waste of time. Also, wait till...

    Homemade landing pads.

    I tried hand catching it once but didn't know I had to turn off the bottom sensors. I flew it under some trees in my back yard and that's where I did the hand catch...well...the danm thing tried to fly up, at what seemed to be full throttle, and freaked me out because it would have gone right up...

    17bdi antenna mod, anyone seen/tried this?

    Your link doesn't work. If you want to post a link from ebay just look in the upper right and see the icon for email. Click that and hit "other email" at the bottom, it should open your email, you can take the link from there and add it here.

    Dogs and drones

    I disagree. My German Shepherd, as seen in my profile pic protecting my daughter against my attacks, was very bothered by my MP at first but through training he became accustomed to the noise and seeing it flying around. If you take some time old dogs learn every bit as well as young ones. My...

    Homemade landing pads.

    The landing pad helps with precision landing. The drone takes a picture of where it took off and then compares that picture to what it sees when it returns to find the landing spot. So it's best to have a high contrast landing pad for the drone to see and recognize.
