Very tempting, but since I went to all the effort to retrieve the little bugger, I ought to at least get a repair estimate.

So I finally crashed hard. I was actually really lucky to recover drone as it was in mountenous tree covered area. I had to reconnect to the downed bird to get a current location. The last known point in the app did not get me very close. Here is the question. Where do I go to get this...

I run orange on the front and white on the rear. I would call it a small swarm of bees

Sounds like you want to BASE jump? As long as there is not too much interference.

I finally got bit. Gusty wind. Even can see the fingers get wacked in video. Then the shaking of the stinging hand is also caught as I walk back to my gear. My finger tips were still tingling at 10 pm.

I just got a set of carbon fiber Owoda propellers. They look great and the front set fits well. The rear just barely clip the body of the drone. No bueno in my book. I really want split the set....carbon fiber in front, standard in back. Since the carbon fiber are the new quieter design. I am...

The temps should be well above 20 F. The humidity however should be pretty high....90 % or so. Not sure if it matters, but take off altitude will be above 9,000 ft.

I was talking with a pilot buddy who was talking about the de-icing system on his plane. Is there anything we can do to prevent icing on our props?

Thanks,. I have seen those I am not sure they would help with my case. Posted above.

Thanks for all the help on the hand catching post. I have yet to try this. My launch routine at times seems a ritual or offering to the internal mechanisms to have the enable the RTH button when needed. 1) remove gImble cover preflight inspection 2) turn on remote 3) turn on drone 4)plug in...

A pair of gloves helps the confidence level, and provides a bit of protection. If you are careful you can reach in from the front to get two hands on it.

Prop guards? This make me think of the cages, although I am pretty sure that’s not what you mean.

Somewhere there is an official literature saying not to hand launch or land a mavic pro. Catching can be tough because there is not much to hang on to. You also need to avoid the sensors on the bottom. I grab hold and rapidly rotate the craft 90 degrees to kill the motors. I saw a video about...

I am getting ready to try out my new OEM low noise props. They seem much more flexible. Do any of you all recommend removing them after each flight? Looks like my hard shell case will put pressure on them. It appears the biggest thing would be to keep them away from rocks. I have begun hand...
