Hubsan makes an automatic chute for the X4 Pro. You can buy them separately also. I don't know what the weight difference is between the H520 and the Hubsan X4 Pro. It is a fairly heavy Quad. It fires if the drone exceeds 60 degrees I believe. I have never tested mine because the drone lands...

Thanks I'm always a day late and a dollar short. And I type with 2 fingers so I am just a little slow. It is probably a good thing my Maine accent doesn't come through the keyboard.

Great info. That is just what I need. Thanks

The info everyone has shared thus far is great. It should help a lot. I understand experience is a big factor. I see that in my day job as an auto tech with 33 years of experience. I could make a lot more money sticking to nights and weekends fixing cars, but at the end of a work day, I don't...

Good advice. I haven't quit my day job and may never be able to, but I can dream I guess. I'm funding my marketing with my overtime for now. I have also set up booths at some local events and have made several excellent contacts for future work. I have also been asked to fly the York County...

I do the usual- photos, real estate photos, video but I like doing commercial videos for advertising, complete edited videos. Most of what I've done so far was for friends, just so people could see what I could do. Kind of a portfolio I guess. But I am hoping to get paid for my services.

I've been working on marketing my aerial imagery company. I'm worried that I will scare off clients with the wrong pricing. It seems like all the unlicensed guys with Phantoms are getting the glory in my area. As far as pricing is concerned, I realize all parts of the world are probably...

I usually see 12-15 in southern Maine.

I wasn't sure if it would dampen the effect or not, but I think you might be right. That is better than risking heat build up. I'm over thinking things again. Thanks Thanks for confirming my thought that it was a bad idea. I uncovered it first thing this morning.

If you want something that will carry extra payload it might be worth leaving the H as originally designed. My son and I have a Form 500. It will carry 2LBs of extra weight. We added a 2axis gimbal for the camera and a single axis gimbal for a payload release. We are planning to release a GI-Joe...

I just installed toroids on both of my Typhoon Hs GPS leads to minimize possibility of interference. Easy task, but I was worried about the toroids resting on the circuit board{ I think it's the landing gear module}. I applied 2 sided tape lightly on top of board to insulate against chafing and...

Thanks for catching and correcting that for me. Wrong advice is worse than no advice. I should have known you guys would have mentioned it already if it was wise. Thanks

I would also recommend checking the firmware version and updating it if needed. It's not that hard to do but it helps to watch the Yuneec video. I hope somebody will correct me if I am wrong.

It wouldn't have to be too fancy. I mostly fly line of sight any way, but it is handy to look at the screen occasionally for heading reference. If someone else is rotating camera in team mode it could through me off for a second.
