    Any way to shut off gps completelly?

    I feel more comfortable with full control. all i practiced with was Manual. How do you enable manual mode? All the tuts and documentation i have read is for the phantom 2 How do you enable this? I cant seem to find any strait foreward answers. I appreciate your guys patience in helping me.

    easy to install in phantom 1.1.1?

    Thats awsome range i had thought the 240mW transmitter with the fatshark only went 100-200 meters. Ive seen the 580mW upgrade chip on amazon so i was doubtful on the range. Thanks again for the cheapest link ive seen yet.

    yeah good info I did need to get some altitude. did a test flight on a tether seemed to work fine, still drifted off a bit in gps mode, but I didn't calibrate the compass before that test flight so undoubtedly that was the issue. quick question though on turning on the home lock feature. like...

    Beginner - first gps drone.

    So after skimming through the vague quick start guide with no success after about an hour on google i figured out how to start my motors. I callibrated the transmitter, then the drone, and the compass in that order. Cool off the ground... *Crash* Very minor. I suppose it should be...
