For some reason when I like to this post earlier I only saw the very top part about The Landing Pad. I was scrolling through just now and happened upon the rest of the story. That is an impressive amount of equipment. I imagine you do get your share of exercise. Everest sounds like an amazing...

The props are on and the Drone passed its test flight as far as I'm concerned. Got a little tedious with the installation but I made it through. It is the strangest thing though. I am not sure if it's just my eye but the set of propellers on the left front arm seem to bend up higher than the...

Thank you very much I will look into that.

I copy them to my old galaxy 7. It's the phone I use for the mini. From there I either I post to social media or upload to the cloud. Are you saying you have an SD reader you plug into your phone? Plugging into the TV would be nice.

I would love to do that. At the moment I don't have a laptop I can use. Maybe one day, but for now the fan works fine.

That's a great idea. I think I have one laying around the house.

Certainly would have been nice if on was included. Probably sacrificed it to save weight. All I know is it gets toasty quick when I am downloading media. I have to park it in front of a fan if I am downloading a video to keep the heat alarm from buzzing.

Thanks for all the advice and the welcomes. I decided I am going with a new set of propellers. Had to take a second mortgage out and live on a budget so tight I can't even afford Top ramen, but I will have the money to keep up with the hobby :). Seriously though I plan putting a lot of miles on...

I hadn't considered vibrations that might be caused. I imagine the wear and tear could be magnified given the light weight material of the drone. I think you just helped me reach a decision. It's no Huey after all. Thanks for the insight. Someone should make that lawn chair. Sounds way safer...

Sounds like the 21st century equivalent of Charly Brown's kite eating tree. Glad there was no permanent damage.

Excellent information thank you for posting it. Hopefully none of it was gained through personal experience. I have to say they are killing me with the Mini 2 stuff. I have to go through poorly written product descriptions with a fine tooth comb. Would have been nice if they went with a...

Thank you that answered my questions. Based on what you are saying I think my plan will be going one prop at a time.

Thanks for the information. I've got a couple questions. When you mention the shoulder of the screw locking against the motor. Do you mean when it is flush with the propeller or something related to the metal housing of the motor? As far as matching the propellers go is it just a matter of...

Thank you for the welcome and the support. Definitely accurate advice in regards to the only way to avoid crashes. I used to have to tell that to myself all the time. I still have to from time to time. I have almost gotten to the point where I can completely relax and enjoy the flight. Knock on...

Thanks for the welcome. I actually did invest in a landing gear. It certainly has helped reduce impacts. I did this because I'm one particular occasion the Drone wound up looking like some piece of lawn equipment. Don't know what was in the grass but I can still find traces of green stuff on the...
