The worst part about flying my p3a....

Is getting attacked by random bees and flying insects while I'm concentrating on flying! If anything causes a crash, that will be it!

Watch out for those giant bees-- they may be a problem

Yeah a bee strike will take down a P3 every time.

I'm talking about attacking me personally. Not the bird

Did you see the video of the swarm attaching a P3--- it's on youtube--

I have an annoying magpie trying to attack me today. Not sure if it is the same magpie which tried to attack me a couple of weeks ago when I flew my Cheerson CX-20. A few rock throws at it is enough to scare it away

I'd throw a handful of "rocks" out the long end of a metal tube.

Haha, this is Australia, not so easy for us to shoot lead.

You Aussies can have air powered rifles correct? They make a bird shot for them now. I have a nice Diana RWS break barrel myself.

All you need is an awesome wrist rocket slingshot. ;-)
See Saunders Archery. They make great slings.

Lol, I know. /humor fail/

RedHotPoker · Nov 12, 2015

I watched this video, on helifreak, gosh a couple of years ago, already. ;-)
What a bloody mess. That will certainly leave a forever stain.
I often find the odd tiny droplet of insect blood on my white props, but nothing in comparison.

I unknowingly stepped onto a small fire ant mound in my yard back in the summer. Luckily I wasn't too far out so I just had to let my P3A hover while I ripped off my shoes and got the ants off my feet and ankles. That was interesting.

Good grief, where do you live, man, in Africa?
I only wear my SpYder RS-S rYding motorcycle boots while flying.
So Never even a nibble! Or concern of one. Hahaha
Hopefully they are snake bite proof as well!!
