Nope. Practice videos at a relative's house.

Starting a new thread cause I live in America and WWW doesn't stand for world wide Web it stands for wild wild west. That and I was anxious after it happened and wanted to share my story. Not so much for attention but more for an isolated safety warning to people filming houses or low shots with...

Within. Maybe 10-20 feet. I was trying to land and inadvertently ignored the RTH warning. Seemed to go into RTH very fast, so it definitely requires an immediate reaction or you may get all discombobulated if you wait "too" long (like 10-20 seconds?).

No video (yet) but I promise you that it does not raise when you are in close proximity to it. Skimmed over a few cars in RTH in front of a house. Luckily I was able to control it enough to lift it just above the cars and land it in the street. I had missed the opportunity to cancel the RTH in...

Hey guys. Was just flying my I1 filming a house. Had it out front and was getting a few more shots. Battery dropped to the RTH level and I was checking on the position of the craft and then looked down and realized I had missed the opportunity to cancel the RTH. The I1 started flying towards the...

Would be nice if the app just gave us the last recorded GPS coordinates. I mean actual numbers, in addition to the marker you get on the map. Just have a small buffer for updating the coordinates in real-time and keep only the last few known coordinates in the apps memory and in a circular log...

Yes, flying a straight line in the direction of the last home point. The log wasn't the last home point, the log just happened to be in the way when it was returning "home". This is why I'll always try to keep line-of-sight of the aircraft and not let any objects or buildings get between me and it.

Yea, people need to be very cautious and aware of their home points especially if they're on a moving boat or something. What concerns me is that it didn't fly up to the default 20m before starting to return to home. Unless that feature is turned off until you explicitly turn it on in the app...

Does anyone know... If I fly one weekend and bring a battery down to 10-30%, and I'm not going to fly for another few days or until the next weekend, should I: 1. Recharge the battery the same day I drained it. 2. Recharge the battery the day before, or on the day that I fly it next. 3...

Hmm, sounds weird. Definitely going to test a few scenarios in a wide open park (with no one around). I'll also be bringing it back before 20% at any other location until we find out what (if anything) is going on here. I usually do that anyway. Edit: You should also send your flight logs to...

Hahaha, thanks for the end-of-day laugh. Definitely needed it. Yea, if people can't RTFM and also fail to start/practice with a $40-100 toy quad, then they should not be flying an Inspire 1, especially not as their first RC aircraft. I mean they can do whatever the F they want, but don't come...

For anyone interested, you can get the Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 (2014 Edition) 32GB for $549 with 4 free gifts. I bought mine the other day - just a few days before they started offering the free gifts - but I called them up and the good people at Newegg are going to send me the free gifts...

I know that those charges would not be realistic. I was just disappointed that this occurred and was fantasizing about penalizing an outrageous act and incident with outrageous charges.

I have no idea what goes on inside the mind of an idiot. Flying over and filming traffic isn't even exciting. It's probably criminal (there are city ordinances about passing balls or other objects through traffic). The operator should be charged with dozens of counts of attempted murder IMO. I...
