Here is a link to the Boise Meetup Group. I haven't been flying for awhile unfortunately..too busy with work. Idaho Drone Pilots

Actually, I'm hesitant to use WP missions because I've heard of a number of users on the forum experience fly-aways while using waypoints.

If you're recording in 4K you could change the resolution to regular hd. That will make the file size smaller. There are also lots of video editing applications that will allow you to convert to a lower resolution.

Forget the straw...fire up the rotors... You can paint the walls, the carpet, and the cat at the same time!

Was just about to comment on the wind issue....If you go out with a tail wind and have to come back with a head wind...the software is going to make it's calculations based on what's been used and how far away it is....it won't know there is going to be a headwind on the way back....so if you...

One more here in Boise. I just found a meetup group as well. I have a P4.

Woohoo...back from the hardware store and ready to fix my bird!

Thank you sir for the very quick response....I can't wait to get back in the air.
