I crashed my phantom 3

While flying my Phantom 3, I decided to try the follow-me feature. The second I activated it, it flew into a tree. Luckily, it landed in a nice neighbor's yard, and we were able to retrieve it with minimal damage. Only one of the landing legs was damaged,…

DJI Phantom 3

Today, I got my DJI Phantom 3. At first, we struggled to sign into my dji account because the phantom needs a different app to fly, and we forgot the password. I was excited to fly, but the wind was too strong. I would have flown, but I didn'…

Hiking on John Bull loop

John Bull loop has a way of always being just a little uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but there's always too much uphill and too much downhill, no in between. Flying my drone was magical. You could fly for miles and not…
