  1. As soon as Amazon starts vharging me sales tax, I will only purchase from them if I cant find it elsewhere. We as citizens of this stat and of this nation are being taxed worse than anytime in history. Even at 78 to 82% of ones income they want more. This country was somewhat founded on a tax rebellion / freedom, and it is coming around full circle. I believe that it is coming time to consider another. 

  2. Ordered the Phantom 3 with two batts. It has shipped and will be here in the next 10-14 days.  I understand from the forum talk that the prop guards that I got for the Vision 2+ probably won't work with the 3 due to the blades being slightly longer. Motors are tipped slightly to support braking and thus has reduced the chance of VRS to less than 5% or virtually nil.  I will order the quick disconnect type for it and use them when in confined areas and indoors. Actually glad the scumbag did to me what he did, cause now getting the better machine, but would have been better if I had gotten it at the lower price. I have watched all the videos on the web on it and it looks to be a very solid unit with just a few cons. Looking forward to getting it & taking it up for a spin. Range on this unit states 1.2 miles, but have watched vids of people getting over 3.75 miles out of it....must be open area without large bldgs around though.

  3. checked with them....can get the unit with only one batt....have to wait till end of the month before additional batts are available.  So will wait till end of month and then decide what to do. I believe that the prop guards that I got will work on either the 2 or the 3 but not positive.

  4. So the scumbag ( ebay seller name of gpa400jim ) backed out of selling me the 3 and doesn't have the 2 and so I am quad less.....which is both a good thing and bad one... Good cause I have saved a lot of $.... & bad cause I really wanted a high end quad. I bought the blade guards which came in today and a backpack case which I have refused receipt.  Anyone with a dji phantom 2 or 3 need the blade guards????  Going to spend some of the quad $ on going up to Camp Perry and shooting some matches up there this July. I actually had planned on taking the copter up there and flying it for some great views of that place (which is one of my favorite places) in a whole new perspective. I have taken pics from an airplane overhead 1000-5000' above the surface, but never just a few hundred feet above. BUMMER!!!

  5. So the company I bought the unit from says that they ran out of stock on the units but have offered me a phantom 3 instead of the 2+. The original deal was for the 2+ with three batteries. I said  that if they are offering the 3 pro with 3 batteries I would take the deal. They may only offer it with two batts....what do you all think?

  6. I have had mine since last year and its a blast. I have flown mine over 3000 feet away. I should be able to go over a mile away with the modifications I did to the antennas

    Love to see your modifications. I feel the limit to its distance is the one big downside to the system. Other than that, seems to be an awesome system. With some of the best video I have seen. Do you find the video picking up rotor/motor noise? If so, have you found any solutions to limiting it?

  7. Well, I finally bit the bullet and dropped a load of greenbacks on a new DJI Phantom 2 Vision + Quad copter drone.  Will spend a couple of days getting to know the system which is truly a professional setup. Once I get to the point of comfort with it, I will post up some videos.

  9. Why is it necessary to hit the brakes and pull over for an oncoming ambulance on a two lane road. Causes a more dangerous situation.

    Also....because you DON'T KNOW what the ambulance driver is going to do or where he wants to go NEXT.

  10. Ohio AG stated that until they receive the signed agreement they don't recognized it as being valid. But if one was in pa with only an Ohio CHL, I would have to assume that PA would recognize it if it is on their AG page. Considering I just did mine last Oct....I won't see the benefits until the end of 2019. But still have the non-res PA CHL so I'm good in WI & TX  and according to all info I can find, NOTHING on NH

  11. Ohio Ag says that Wisconsin only recognizes permits issued after 3/23. PA, NH, TX have not signed the agreements yet so it isn't legal yet...here is the page on the AG's site where the agreements are. Until it shows up on this page, it isn't legal yet. You can click on any of the states and see the agreement.

  12. Please correct me if I am wrong and call me an asshat but as I understand it:

     

    We are good to go in PA, NH and all the other states the AG announce a couple of weeks ago.

     

    The issue you bring up applies to Wisconsin for sure (they even say so on their website), and will almost certainly apply to Texas when they sign the agreement.  You must have a new license after the new background check.

    From what I understand, the new agreements that were signed were done under the new requirements for CHL's in ohio. I don't believe that they pertain to the old CHL's. Must have the NCIS stamped on the CHL to be valid. But to be sure, I will inquire with the AG's office here in Cleveland.

  13. Folks.....don't get caught up in this.....Nothing has changed for the VAST majority of us. Unless you get a new issued permit dated after 3/23/15 all is the same. Your permit must state NCIS on it to be valid with the new reciprocity agreements. All prior licenses were only FBI & BCI background checks(which is why some states did not recognize or accept ours). The new ones will include the National Criminal Instant background check System (same one used for purchasing a firearm). With the new permit, you will still have to fill out  the standard 4473 form, but all you need to do is show your CHL (with the NCIS on it) and that will alleviate them calling in for approval.

  14. What a self-centered, conceited, narcissistic, pompous A_Hole he is.  Now if he could just convince his girlfriends Nancy & Dianne and his 'Bro' Chuck to leave with him, there just might be hope for our country to rebound from all the damage they have done..

     

     

     "Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid announced Friday he will not seek re-election to another term, saying he wanted to focus on bringing Democrats back to power in the Senate rather than his own re-election.

     

    Reid, 75, said in a statement that it would be "inappropriate for me to soak up all those resources when I could be devoting those resources to the caucus, and that's what I intend to do."
