My own custom design from Decal Girl. Very easy to apply and looks great.

Great video! Congrats.

Not too far from you, over in the Dubuque area of Iowa. Been flying my MP quite a bit lately around my farm.

I see I'm not alone with this problem! I just got a new iPad mini4 to fly my MP. Go 4 has been crashing on it regularly since installing it. Rather unsettling for a new drone pilot like myself. So far, I have tried deleting the video cash and switching the video cash off as recommended here. At...
