??? So you came here wanting everyone to blow smoke up your *** and tell you how awesome it was. Sorry life isn't like that, some members here will like it, some wont. You asked members here for their feedback - dont like what they said, then dont ask.

Thanks to new ******* laws by our Government that come into effect on the 1st August its impossible for us to use the Inspire or Phantoms etc as a hobby. Not interested in jumping through all the hoops to become a commercial operator - so everything I have is now up for sale. Here is a list of...

Recently upgraded the firmware and also all six of my batteries. Went out flying today with my new Cinemizer goggles (which are awesome by the way) HOWEVER when the battery got down to 36% and gave me the customary low battery warning I came back to close by. Well it dropped down to 25, then...

I am in New Zealand so hot and humid doesn't really apply :)

Just using the ones that came with it, the self tightening ones. And when I heard they arent making them anymore contacted my local distributor and bought the remaining eight sets that he had :)

So I have all my batteries all charged, and presume its safe just to take them and put them in the fridge for storage.

You know what - some people just need to chill the **** out - geez :) Its not a matter of life or death when an update comes out. Just chill and wait until its out THEN do all your bitching. Why ***** at someone who is trying to do the right thing. If an update doesn't come out when its...

Got shown this video today and can't comprehend the complete and utter stupidity of this person - flying a drone up above the clouds right into the airspace where planes and helicopters would be flying. http://rcvideoshow.blogspot.co.nz/2015/06/dji-f550-hexacopter-crash-after-flight.html

Well my new Zeiss Cinemisers arrived yesterday so this morning its off to visit my tech guy, get them all hooked up and see what its like to fly FPV :) Should be fun. Ned

I have eight batteries and four chargers, always try to have at least one charger per two batteries. This new charging hub seems waste of time if it just does one at a time. Prefer not to leave them all unattended for that long.

Will probably just end up using it for fun, shooting video and pics for my own use as the B/S associated with getting all the "proper" licensing etc (especially in Australia $10K plus) is just a joke. Onwards and upwards.

the aircraft will not be flown close to people or properties, and you will not get ‘valuable consideration’ (i.e. payment) from the flight, then a permission is not needed; " I dont get any payment for it so therefore I can operate under the no permission section. Most of what I do is for fun...

Okay Everyone, Got a question for you and lets see what your view is. I own and publish a number of magazines, from aviation to motor racing to field hockey to travel & lifestyle. I have both a P3 and also my Inspire. The way I understand it you have to get all the various approvals (differs...

"You'd think that would be pretty easy to figure out too...but we'll probably just get another ******** update." Easy solution then - dont update it.
