    Aviators! Please chime in

    I have always been into RC toys. Off road cars and I did have a RC sailboat. As soon as I could, I got my private pilot license (VFR) at 17. I was headed to the Air Force when I got derailed by love, wife and family. Now I run a construction company and fly drones for fun. I have not piloted a...

    Adjusting gimbal to specific angles.

    Not sure what you are after for angles. But I would pay close attention to the ginmbal angle gauge on the right of the screen and note the AGL. Then move to the other location and match both. You can even mark the gimbal angle on the screen with a marker, then wash it off the glass when done...

    I just Discovered you can’t buy Mavic pro low noise props at the DJI website anymore. “Not available in my region”. So now where do I get gold tip, DJI factory props for my MPP? ?

    Anyone experieced prop hinge pin failure ?

    On 3/11/2020 I ordered some standard Mavic pro quick release folding propellers from DJI ‘s direct website, put them on my Mavic pro platinum and took off for a test run. Things went very bad when two of the props came off. The Mavic flipped violently, somersaulting down into the pavement. After...

    Anyone experieced prop hinge pin failure ?

    Don’t try to put Mavic props on a Mavic pro. The blades don’t lock right and the props fly off. Happened to me 6 feet off the ground during the test of controls. Caused serious crash and serious damage.

    High winds at 4000 feet and related crash

    That may be what happened, I often slide in the case and rub the switch to crash mode. Now I have the sport mode disabled in the settings. ?

    First Crash, learning lessons...

    Been there, done that, and learned. Rule # 437; When ever you use active track, don’t ever put down the controller. ?

    High winds at 4000 feet and related crash

    I have been working on a mountain top at 4000 feet lately and shooting video of my work. The winds sometimes try to take my MPP away, so I flip to sport mode and bring her back. Last weekend I tried to get some nice shots of the fall leaves behind my wood shed and forgot it was in sport mode and...
