    Upgrade to Z3

    There are many things a staff member like the Editor can’t say without being unprofessional. One of them is saying “you’re a moron.” But a regular member can say that without crossing any lines. So let’s see how you do it. [emoji1360] Show me how it’s done kind sir. [emoji482]

    Compass error during flight

    That’s weird. It also says weak gps signal. Is the bird covered in stickers, lights, or any other accessories that could interfere with your onboard electronics?

    Battery charger.

    I use the same exact one. Works well and was cheap. My local dealer recommended it. I bought it from him and haven’t looked back.

    I was threatened with a lawsuit today..

    It’s not illegal to see home pictures taken from the air. That’s a baseless lawsuit. People being scared is what it is. If I wasn’t hung up on an area or a particular “mission” there, I would follow her request and move on. But if that wasn’t the case, tough. If they got pushy, you could...

    Idiot Props

    Self tighten with lock over the top? What kind are those? Haven’t seen or heard of them before.

    Idiot Props

    I have the factory props. Red ones are a tad loose and could rattle. I don’t hear them rattle. The machine is smooth and shows zero issues. I am a newb to this industry though. And I’m not afraid to learn. I really like the folding props that are offered by FDS, but don’t like the fact they...

    Idiot Props

    Interesting. I appreciate the point you make. Never saw that much reported here other than red prop rattle. Mine has that, so does every other Inspire I've ever witnessed. Not a single report of an issue from my dealer and all of the people who use them around here. Dunno....

    Filming with no arms on i2?

    What are you trying to do? Use a camera with a stabilator gimbal system? If so, why not skip the whole kill a drone thing and get an Osmo or something similar? I don’t understand why you’d want to ground an expensive drone by removing a quintessential part(s) to film with it.

    This thread needs more background information for it to be worthwhile.

    This seems to be getting worse

    There is just no way I could agree with that. While I understand your sentiment, this could be a lethal blow to the industry. It would dramatically raise prices, hinder the ability to enjoy the hobby, and cause the need for an oversight agency. Wow. We don't need that. Not at all. Pick any...

    This seems to be getting worse

    You are missing the point. It's not about what you and I think is"ok", it's about the mainstream public and media and what they believe. There is no "safe" means of introducing anything foreign into the flight path of any aircraft, let alone a drone. There isn't testing for drone strikes, and...

    I'll bet it'll all come out in the media as part of the investigation. Anyone a part of this should be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law.

    He's known in the drone racing community and already has been banned for life at any MultiGP events.

    This seems to be getting worse

    Yeah, imagine how many folks that’ll scare and the first they’ll say is “those drone things need to be banned.” A lot of those will be politicians. Hmmm. More regulations and stupid stuff to follow. Thanks a$$hole.
