    2016 KTM Freeride 250r 2015 Kawasaki KX450F I use to have a 2001 Suzuki GSXR1000, but that was many years ago.

    Do you think the Mavic is powerful enough to cut a finger?

    I hand launched and caught a few times this past Thursday. I was standing in soft snow and there was no other option. I had never done it before, but I was slow and deliberate. Everything worked out just fine for me. Even with this successs, I would only hand catch or launch if absolutely...

    Do you think the Mavic is powerful enough to cut a finger?

    There's video somewhere of an idiot news person grabbing a Mavic out of the air with no regard for safety. He bled.

    Short battery life

    I get more than 18 minutes of flight time, but I suspect it has to do with flying style. If you're tearing up the skies, you'll get shorter flight times. As for damaging the batteries at 25%, I have to disagree. I believe you're thinking that LiPos that are over discharged suffer damage and I...

    Finally got it! First flight

    I ordered my Fly More from Crutchfield on Jan 4. They had them in stock for an hour or so. But I've been trying to get one since October. I got screwed by Best Buy and wasted months.

    Finally got it! First flight

    That's a beautiful tree. I'd leave it up too. UPS delivered my Mavic today. Just have to get home from work and fire it up.

    Crutchfield has Fly More Packages in stock

    I went cheap. After waiting months I can't justify the shipping costs to save a couple days.

    Crutchfield has Fly More Packages in stock

    Just put my order in, waiting for shipping verification. Here's my saga if anyone cares: 10/20/16 - Placed an order with DJI (stating "November" delivery) 10/22/16 - Placed order with BestBuy because they were guaranteeing delivery on 10/31 10/22/16 - Canceled DJI order (huge mistake) 10/31/16...

    Best Buy screwed me

    Thanks for the heads up. I was originally just keeping a single order with a single vendor and trying to be patient. Since Best Buy did me wrong, I'm re-thinking my strategy and possibly placing orders with several vendors.

    Best Buy screwed me

    A warning to others... I placed my order with Best Buy on 10/25. Even though everything was fine with my credit card, my order status page indicated "Failed Authorization". Between my order date and around December 1, I called three different times, used their chat twice and posted on their...

    Speed in Sport Mode is incorrect in Go app

    I can't wait to get mine, much like a few other people :) BTW, one video I saw the guy reached 63"MPH". That calculates to 39.1 MPH (if it truely is just a KPH-MPH error). Seems feasible to me.

    Speed in Sport Mode is incorrect in Go app

    Watching speed runs on YouTube, I had the same feeling as you. Seems like they are reporting KPH instead of MPH. Personally, I've never understood the need to do a speed run with a device that has its max speed capped in software.
