    Aircraft Avoidance? I had no idea!

    I'm sorry I typed the wrong name by accident... I also remember Mike McKay, but I was fairly young then. The drone meet-ups are at 10am until about noon every Saturday, weather permitting. Usually only a small crowd of 5-15 pilots but always fun to see the different drones and nostalgic to fly...

    Aircraft Avoidance? I had no idea!

    Hey Mike, I'm a life long Charlottean and an EVO 1 owner... Congrats on a very long and successful career for us TV viewers. We have a local drone meet up group that flies at the old Knight's Stadium parking lot on Saturday's if you'd ever like to join. I'd like to see the EVO 2 in action!

    Apache 3800 Hardcase

    I keep mine vertical. It's well padded so shouldn't be a problem. I have ordered a 3rd battery so I'll most likely store that on the Evo.

    Apache 3800 Hardcase

    Robyroad that looks outstanding! Makes me want to get some new foam and redesign! ??? You can definitely store SD cards and props in the top in a packing envelope... Great work bud!

    Apache 3800 Hardcase

    Good stuff... get 2 cans of plast-dip, pull out the 2 layers of foams inserts and coat everything well. Take 20-30 minute breaks between coats. The first 2 coats will absorb into the foam. Again, I think I went possibly too heavy, but I know this case and the inserts will travel well and protect...

    Apache 3800 Hardcase

    I certainly didn't maximize the space (hence even using the foam insert from the original packaging). My charging Hub arrived today and it fits the new spot I created PERFECTLY! Not sure about what moving the drone to the side would do. I just followed the recommendations of those that have done...

    Apache 3800 Hardcase

    Here is the updated pic. I took other's recommendations and bought 2 cans of "Plasti-dip" to spray on the foam. There is also a decent YouTube video on how to apply this to the foam. I think I might have applied too much but overall the foam is now extremely solid. I am confident that the apache...

    Apache 3800 Hardcase

    Hello Autel pilots, new guy here... Thanks to all who posted the thread about the Apache 3800 hardcase from Harbor Freight! With an online coupon provided on their website, I was able to pick up the case for under $30, and used the original foam from the Autel packaging to hold the aircraft. I...
