Regarding OP, well the guy committed crime discharging a firearm into the air, damaging private property and in contravention to FFA prohibitions against discharging at crafts. I mean, he must have heard it perhaps? That's why ideally if these drones were more quiet, you'd frankly get into less...

Not to rag on you on anything, but just wondering in general. Where do you draw the line between doing what you're told and standing up to core principles? Indeed, where do all law enforcement or people with authority draw that line when duty or orders crosses path with personal core...

To be honest, I can't really hear my my standard props out 60 ft too the last time I tried, but mine is relatively windy area. Maybe in a super quiet place I could.

Amazon is selling BTG branded carbon fiber props. Both carbon fiber reinforced with a composite hub and carbon fiber weave with a metal hub. Anyone have experience with them? Yea yea you should be weary of third party stuff on your $1K investment etc. Just wondering.

Compared to the standard props, are the CF ones higher or lower frequency sound? Everyone says 'more quiet'. Some say 'the same'. Anyone do a dB and dBA measurement? But what is the frequency of sound? I'm wondering in the context of whether it can be heard from a distance. Lower frequency...

Actually that has me wondering. Since this is a for dummies 'managed' battery blackbox with an onboard chip. Did DJI design it so that it allows you to drain the battery to the point of damaging it when it gets close to zero, or does the battery life displayed account for a healthy margin room...

Are you saying the compass doesn't work for any apps or just Litchi and DJI Go? For some reason my radar never worked on DJI Go.

That's true, its annoying how its like that. Is it different with litchi? Haven't had a chance to test it yet. If you're say launching from one location but moving to another, you want the home point to follow you dynamically not go back to where it was.

When you guys stop at 30-40% charge, how many minutes are you getting from your flight? My battery shows around 22min flight time at 100% charge. So I only get around 10min flight time when I stop at 50%. I think if I want to reliably keep a comfortable 30% margin, I will only get around 15min...

At what % do you stop using it and charge the battery? How many cycles recharging have you battery lasted? Right now I will definitely stop everything once it gets to 30%. Otherwise I sometimes charge it at 50%. I have about 8 recharge cycles.

I found that it is not possible. You can only turn on one at a time for android. Then you must restart it as in powering down the phantom. On iOS i heard it works differently. In iOS you can turn on/off DJI go or litchi. In fact, I think you need to turn DJI go first to initialize, and close...

You're in the wrong business. The point of VTOL crafts like a quadcopter is to gain the flexibility for VTOL. It gives up on having less range and and inability to glide like a fixed wing craft can. The real world compromise is something like the Osprey where it can transition from VTOL to...

I'm a noob but I think there are two ways to change this. First is mechanical advantage. You can modify the length of the joysticks so that it takes more displacement to move the same angle, due to increasing arc length. The longer the joystick length, the 'less sensitive', although this...

Woops, meant to post this on P3 forum. Mods please help move.

You should always do line of sight. Etc. But I've only been flying indoors for now and experiencing the drone his way. But this issue about improving situational awareness with the FPV has me thinking. I fly in tight hallways and doorways indoors and I always do so by looking at the drone...
