    UK. Permission to Fly

    A footpath could suggest being within 150m of a congested area unless there are no houses near by? Are there no public parks near you? I fly over my nearest public park often with no trouble from anyone.

    IOC and Naza. Kill me!

    I had the same problem and it was the USB cable. A perfectly working USB cable used for plenty of other things I might add, but for some reason the software and phantom needed me to use the USB cable that came with it. Very odd.

    First flight, need more air time :) (battery)

    I didn't realise the prop guards would make such a difference, they seem so light!

    for sale

    Problem starting the Phantom since enabling IOC

    All occasions today it was clear open land. The Phantom had been transported in my car boot, the same as every other trip so no new or different exposure to magnetic field that I could see. Yes both switches were up. I may try putting it back as it was in the Naza software by disabling IOC...

    Problem starting the Phantom since enabling IOC

    Hi, my first post (noob). I've been using my FC40 for just over a week now and it has always started fine, however since I enabled IOC in the Naza Assistant software this morning the motors won't start unless I do the calibration routine - even when I changed battery and launched from the same...
