Mark Leon replied to Eric Lee's discussion Anyone had problem ordering from 3DR store? in IRIS
"The problem I am having with 3DR is they do not fully support the IRIS+. I mean they know these things are going to get broken from time to time. Does not matter who or what is at fault, you need to repair and get back in the air.
For example...I…"

Mark Leon replied to Mark Leon's discussion FPV range reduced to a few feet after rough landing in IRIS
"Thanks Dax. I see no damage to the antenna, and hear no rattling or anything. I will search for that 200mW Boscam transmitter, and I guess I should replace the antenna just to be sure. "

"You have done some very nice work there. Would you be interested in doing something with my idea of a disk shaped foot?
About the size of a quarter or half dollar, with an "bull nose" rounded blunt edge. Maybe even have the edge angle out away from…"

Anyone besides me having a problem with losing the little rubber caps on the long legs? It looks like they did not use any adhesive on them, just a friction fit.Asked 3DR about getting replacements and they sent me the part number for the whole long…

"Oh yeah P.S. Those little rubber bumpers fell off the long landing legs. Anyone know how to get new ones? 3DR wants me to buy a whole new long leg kit. I would rather have something like a flat disk on a swivel at the bottom of the legs. Something…"

I have had my IRIS+ for a couple of months now. Had a few good crashes. I would like to use a simulator to get my skills honed before I make a serious mistake that totals my IRIS+. Anyone using a simulator that they would recommend? Really want one…
