    Ever see this?

    I actually taped the button down yesterday for about 30 minutes, still no sign of life. It will not power up the drone so firmware update is a bit difficult. Bought it through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0G ... UTF8&psc=1 It looks just like all of my other batteries so I'm...

    Ever see this?

    Won't power up, won't reset or acknowledge, battery not detected by any of the apps. Tried to fully discharge it to maybe reset it but who knows. It's one of a pair I bought on line. Worked fine out of box,charged and flew normally once - now this…. Dead, magic button sequence to reset?

    Black Helicopters…

    Ok, I am not a conspiracy theorist but I found this interesting and possibly worth testing. In a recent meeting of a bunch of Dronies, a comment was made that the last two time the POTUS was in town, the drones refused to fly. Jamming? SubCarrier messages? Or, just dumb luck. Who knows for...

    Long Range Antenna source???

    Recommendations for a set of long range antennas? I would like to get a complete kit so I can do it all at once. Thanks in advance.

    Missed it ?

    I'd pull it back from the ESC as far as possible. If a wire has been seriously overheated, the plastic/vinyl will get brittle so work the discolored areas to see it they crack. If they do, new motor and ESC. I like the idea of close out photos too, think ill add that to the checklist. Good luck!

    Seen this???

    Got it to power up by unplugging and plugging it into Phantom. "Battery Error" dialog, "Not DJI Intelligent Battery!". Think I'm going to run it down to nothing to see if it will reset - Brand new, less than 3 charges on it and I checked it out of box on first charge b/c of all of the yaya about...

    So.........I Never Set My Home Point

    I'd think it will set home point as the power up location. When you call up the ground station if your not set at home position your return leg probably would not vector home as where you are. Maybe that's the trick, map one waypoint in ground station. If it shows a return route back to where...

    I want

    An app feature that will fly a preset distance at a preset orientation to the controller. With a GPS in the iThing and the GPS on the bird, this should not be that hard. That way we could program it to follow when on a moving thing like boat, bike or car. It should be able to fly this sideways...

    2+v3 camera problem

    Ok, to close it, the only fool proof way to fix is to. Toss the app, forget the wifi network and down load a new app, restart the app and all of the phantom hardware, reregister and fly. My dealer did agree to replace the extender under warranty if i thought it would help so I've got that going...

    Did I make a mistake - ESC paranoia?

    I used to fly RC helicopters. One of the hard lessons I learned was preflight,preflight,preflight, then preflight. Once you launch, your committed to the configuration. If your the least bit suspicious about your ESCs then pop the top every few flights and look for symptoms, melted wire, goo on...
