Strange thing happened few days ago. I tried to discharge my battery to 50% since i knew I was not going to fly for few days, so I took it for a spin (actually hover) in my backyard and hoped I could get the sunset. I had 9-10 sats on my screen went up about 100 feet up and stayed there for few...

Now that is more than awesome !!

Prices on computer used to drop almost every 3 months. And if you wanted features at this moment you pays higher price. So goes for most electronics. Now, I still think the P4 is overpriced and with today uncertain future of the hobby it's seems to be just for suckers ( no pun intended ).

Iron Maiden's plane collides with truck - CNN.com And where the hell is FAA???!!! Oh yeah people could have died but as long the car is touching ground its ok. What if it jumped on a bump I would consider it airborne and not registered :-( Stupidity at its best LOL Car v. airplane - 1 "drone"...

I use my hard case or folded card board which fits under the foam of the hard case.

The reason can made up on the spot. You are standing on a private land, you are scaring local crows and other wild life, someone called about noise, the dogs are barking etc. Heard some stories before. This is why the guidance rules are so vague, any interpretation can be stretched to fit them.

I heard that if you eat a lot of spinach it helps................... no, no that was for something else

Or they ban RC all together
