Aloha Pilots,
First, I just want to say thank you and tell you how awestruck I am with the level of knowledge you people exhibit and share with others every day. Apple throws the term "Genius" around way too much but you people in my eyes anyway really are DJI Geniuses!
I live on the Big Island of Hawaii and have a Mavic Air and a Phantom Standard 3. I'd love to say I'm out there shooting nature all the time but the reality is I rarely get the opportunity. Flying the MA once every 30 to 60 days and the Phantom even less.
For batteries that see so little flight time should I leave them semi discharged when no plans to fly soon or should I keep them topped off when I notice that 2 of 4 lights are flashing?
2nd question, I've kept my Phantom as more of the risk taker and also as it has the landing legs and no obstacle avoidance I'm thinking it might work okay for hand launching and hand landing on a fishing boat. I'm going out on Saturday and taking it with me. Is that logic sound or am I missing some critical info as to why it would not do well from a boat?
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, thank you.
Rob
