It would be cool to get together with some other London flyers. Do you have any suggestions for nice areas to fly around London? Would...

    I can read instructions ... but why???

    I wonder if your location is within the warning zone. Check the manual for Flight Zone restrictions near airports.

    Distance and height-Personal best

    Very irresponsible on the max height test. Rural area or not, exceeding 400ft altitude puts you into the potential airspace of small aircraft.

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    I have the original compass that came with the P2V. I have also considered trying an upgrade to the new "anti-static" compass. I believe some P2V users have successfully upgraded but others have reported that the compass cable is not long enough (original units had compass cable plug into GPS...

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    I am concerned that if the RPG can cause enough interference for the compass calibration to fail, could it also interfere with the compass during regular flight. I really wish the Rotorpixel would respond to my emails and give some type of assistance.

    problems after doing firmware update using rotorpixel gimbal

    Does your compass calibrate properly if you unplug power to the Rotorpixel gimbal (prior to powering up the P2V). The flashing red lights indicate the compass calibration was not successful. Is your Rotorpixel gimbal one of the early models with large motors, or the current design with smaller...

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    I sent an email to Keri at Rotorpixel asking if he could test one of the early model (large motor) gimbals with the 3.12 or 3.14 firmware version. So far no response, but I will report back here if I get a response.

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    I have not been flying too many times since this issue started. It has me worried that the Rotorpixel motors and causing interference to the compass. Keri replied to one of my emails but indicated that others were not having the same issues. I am starting to think that only the early model...

    Rotopixel Gimbal thoughts

    I have had compass calibration issues since updating to firmware v3.12. The compass calibration fails to complete successfully unless I first unplug the Rotorpixel gimbal. It seems that the newest firmware is more sensitive and the RP gimbal is causing interference.
