    HOW TO: Setup and use Waypoints

    I'm glad to hear what you just said..."You must first fly the mission". I couldn't see the importance of that since I knew where I wanted to fly. Now I have a clear understanding why you should fly it first and set the points while your out.

    Need to know how to update to 3.04.

    Can someone please explain in detail how to update to 3.4? I've read on here too many times how people updated the wrong way and had fly offs. I'm trying to keep that from happening.

    Anyone have a 3D *and* a 2D ?

    My questions is why would you want to change the connector in the first place? Are they different?

    Fatshark Goggles continue to fog up

    How do you prevent the fatshark goggles from fogging up. I get great range out of the goggles and I'm out so far I lose sight of my phantom 2. I have to continuously wipe them like every 30 seconds. Can anyone help me out?

    Shorten propellers

    Although I'm not for flying with a broken prop but I was in a situation where I had to. The tip broke and I creatively got some scotch tape, folded over and wrapped around the end of the prop. It flew perfectly. I flew it that way for a few days until my extra blades came in the mail. I only say...

    Which Circular Polarized Antenna is best?

    Kelly, I hope the two photos loaded up. These are the antennae so got off eBay. I get 1/2 a mile if it's line of site. I get roughly 100 yds. if it isn't. I've flown from inside my house 100yds. I connected the fatsharks to my Samsung tv for my wife to see FPV. She loved it.

    Need to Solder Phantom 2 & Zenmuse Gimbal

    Thanks for your help. Actually, that's what I wanted you to do. I didn't want to ask that thinking u were saying "This Idiot!!" I've damaged the surface mount capacitor.
