These people with all the problems...Are they real? Or are people attempting to do things with their bird that they shouldn't? First quad for me and no problems.  98 total flights. I only fly in a rural area. Professionals what do u think?

I've had a couple of near misses where I could have possibly crashed.  But all have been pilot error.  Too close to the house...tree limb...etc.  No crashes thank goodness.  But the P3P flies perfectly.  No problems what so ever.  Even after the latest update.  I went from 1.1.9 to the latest ver.

Human nature.....I'd say user errors are 10X as prevalent as bird errors on th P3. Not to say the P3 is perfect but I have seen enough pilots make mistakes that I think humans are worse than machines when it comes to defects....

Lots of factors at play. It is a technical product and also requires common sense and other skills to fly. It is not designed for unlimited use (it's hobby grade) nor for flying in many of the ways that uses do....but it works most of the time anyway.

I figure after about 100 flights I've gotten my moneys worth - then it's all gravy.

99 problems and my Phantom ain't one....

I almost had a bird problem tonight...... A great big hawk who apparently wasn't in the mood to share his hunting  ground. I had flown out over a lake and next thing I new I had a hawk circling. Without any exaggeration he must have had a three foot wingspan. I headed for the shore and he flew alongside me for what seemed like an hour and then broke off. I stayed really close to shore the rest of the night!!

Mississippi Kite Hawks have been bad here, they can be real dicks.

Seems like most problems arise when bird is not kept within LOS
