A bit off topic, perhaps, sorry. I have just received DJI goggles but not yet unboxed. Will share my experience. But I am interested to know more about the insurance side of it. Who you insure with, costs, what they need, i.e. do you need to be an operating company etc. All info gratefully...

Thank you very much. Yes, my first spreadsheet and it was a big one! The bait dropper is fixed, doesn't move. I have done a few more test flights since then, over shorter distances and over land, with the bait dropper on, and they were all perfect. The design of it is such I can still move...

I am sorry, but one more comment. "I could have fixed the problem "in flight" by disabling the VPS sensors". That is a good point. I didn't know that was the cause, although it had crossed my mind, but I always thought of that as a pre-flight thing. You are right of course, should have done...

Sorry, while you are being so indulgent, would you say my iPad is underpowered, or am I misinterpreting that? Can fly these without any ipad/iphone/android device anyway, so doesn't feel like the iPad can cause problems, yet the error messages about cache full, and the other one about the...

OK Thank you folks. You do have experience at reading these logs! So, this takes me back to why the downward looking sensors thought it was almost on the ground? Why did it start climbing when, while it was out to sea, all I did, as usual, is hit RTH? Your saying there was an obstruction to...

Hi Rod, Sorry,you have lost me if that was directed at me. This is what happened and I just excruciatingly picked the data out of the flight records, which to be honest, if not for this forum, I didn't know I could do. Fact or Fiction??

178 feet, not metres, sorry

Thanks for the help. I have downloaded the flight records, into excel. Wow, a lot of data. I departed from a wide open beach with good visibility, directly out to the ocean. Sand hills behind me. I can see where it went from a nice consistent 30.2m on the way back to me, and began climbing...

Rod I had a P3. Apart from all the technical improvements, flying one is not much different to the other from what I can see, in my opinion. Waypoints are still useless (well, lacking a feature), as you have to do them "on the fly" rather than from home, hence my fiddling with Litchi. I am...

The RTH was at 30 metres. Distance out was about 200 metres. Sorry, not sure what "the Phantom had signal from the angle, cut the line the pitch of the Phantom changed and you lost signal?" actually means. Would you mind asking me that question again, in different words, and I'll answer it...

This is very interesting. I have had this experience, more than once. I was using Go, not Litchi. What is in common, is the drone suddenly ignoring the remote, gaining altitude and flying off to wherever the mood took it. I am trying very hard to find out why. In each case I was able to...

Do you mean my first drone? I attached a home made bait dropper to it I saw on you tube. It worked, twice. The third time, it just suddenly nosedived into the ocean and my remote had no effect. A little later I saw the full you tube video, where the guy who had come up with the idea, had a...

I consider them to be two unrelated things which is why I posted them in different places. I am also quite curious to know how many bait dropping drone fishing people there are in the world but don't know how to get even a rough estimate of that figure.

Yes, I have a fishing issue, as well as a Litchi question. I have only used Go while fishing as I am well used to it and it comes from the drone manufacturer. I have heard a few stories of other apps (not Litchi) crashing drones on waypoint missions which makes me nervous as my crash will be in...
