    This is what the swiss call a drone

    The power of that thing has to be incredible! o_O One observation, I dont think I would stand anywhere close to that area. You cant even begin to predict where that thing will go if it GOES!!!!

    My beloved Hubsan H501S was getting low on Voltage 6.6V, I tried to drop it quickly but it went into a spiral and crashed out of control

    Sorry for the problem with your 501 S. I have one and I like it a lot. I am not the battery expert and I have probably violated the rules many times. Here is an excerpt from this web site. Read the full web site at your leisure. It is very good reading. https://rogershobbycenter.com/lipoguide...

    What Have I Done! Need Advice!

    Some of my old RC craft faced the ground a lot hahaha. The lights on my RTF quads are pretty bright. So unless I am into the sun (not a good idea anyway), I can usually keep up a 1/4 mile away. After that, it is RTF time. These old eyes.:(

    Quad Wont get off the Ground, Topples to The Side

    Not sure if this applies to your quad. I have had the same problem with RTF quads and the problem has always been a COMPASS CALIBRATION was required. Good luck

    Good observation. Throttle does take a lot more of your attention. I'm too old to get as good as these guys that wiz around with goggles. I am always impressed. Good luck and have fun!

    What Have I Done! Need Advice!

    My posting answer to another: My 3 cents. I flew RC aircraft years ago. So I still had some muscle memory for the controls and aircraft direction did not confuse me. I started with a micro-quad about 8 years ago. It took a while, but I got better. Went to a much bigger quad. But no fancy GPS...

    Powerextra Battery issue.

    I have communicated with them a dozen times. No mention of any "updates". I will send an email. Not sure how possible that would be though, being DJI Quad and DJI software and app. I actually have it in the back of my mind that DJI has created this problem because it's not their battery...
