rbridges Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I posted this before, but this is one my son took of Gus (mooneymite) leaving my airport. He uses a Phantom 3 Advanced. Make sure to put it in 1080p in the settings. It's one of his first ones, so it's kind of rough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbridges Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 This is a nice one he took of downtown Atlanta. Same things, make sure to set on 1080p. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No flying on an active airport without prior approval. That said, very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No flyaway so far Google DJI flyaway.... it will happen to you eventually I was standing at the home. The new thing is to mount the motors and controller to PVC pipe that makes a square. The current frame is a $40 kit from Hobby king. It has wooden replacement arm in it. Let me see if I can find the crash that caused that. Oh powerlines.

Yetti Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Here is the big crash.... has not flown since, well the crash and I got a real airplane. I am using the older Futaba radio system and I think the emf from the powerline that I flew above took out the radio signal, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWinter Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I purchased a very nice Phantom Drone last December in the winter. Man, flew the crap out of that thing............................... For at least 10 minutes. Then I lost visual and it flew away..Looked for it for a week all over the neighborhood. One thing I observed is the white drone blended nicely with freshly fallen snow. It's now September...still looking for it.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very hard to do well. It got so hot during the summer that I couldn't stand to be out there with them. I hope to start again when it gets cooler.

peevee Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 now that I've done the paperwork I'm not sure why I did. I don't own a drone, it's not hard for someone without a pilots license to get the drone license. Oh well, more government plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Company bought a Phantom 3. I was pleasantly surprised how easy they are to operate. With the recent release of the small drone operating guidelines I decided to pursue the "formal" small drone license. It took about three hours online to take the free webinar training and complete the test. It is "open book" as you are on your own computer. About 32 questions. Scored 100% on test. The process is to then go to another website register and complete a application for the license. You get a number assigned that is then used by a CFI to review that you have a PPL/Current Flight Review and then after their confirmation the license is issued.... I, too worked through the materials for the Part 107 certification and took the test successfully. If you hold a Part 61 license and have two uninterrupted hours you should be able to finish it all. You do have to complete the exam within 90 minutes of beginning the test or start over. Suggest any licensed pilot who may be doing anything remotely "commercial" with a drone ought to go thru this simple process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test is really easy and there are study guides you can review with the questions on the webs. It took longer to figure out the online 8710 form for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
