Had bad wifi board with no FPV. Still had telemetry and GS still worked. Had a fly away and drone sat in snow bank for a month til located. Disassembled and replaced shell and replaced wifi module with a used/new newer version. Had no FPV or telemetry. Camera records and takes pics by manually...

Bought a damaged P2 vision barebones that was damaged and used it's shell and it flies again. just waiting for new drop kit for camera

I think I missed flying it more than thinking that a "$1000" is lost.

RTH 93'. Again only sparse 50' trees in fly zone.

Drone located! Stuck in a snowdrift 2 blocks from takeoff. Had to wait for the snow to melt. It was covered from the repeated snows. It's gonna need a little TLC. Gonna need new shell ,propellers, 1 motor. Camera still works. It was recording when it flew off but only shows it stopped , turned...

Another note. When calibrating compass it would fail a few times before a successful one was completed.

Good point. Now that you mention it ,it did go to its first way point. I to did the 1st waypoint close to establish height. I still had no luck locating it. Just when we had a few warm days and the snow started to melt we are having a nice little blizzard here in northeast Nebraska . So for now...

So again, does anyone know when you have a fly away does it just keep going in a straight line until battery is spent? It shouldn't fly past its "zone" as indicated on ground station but if it malfunctioned? I've read about other members stories of flyaway but details would be appriciated.

I meant the flight plan in the ipad that I programed the mission. I had it going in a star shape. 98' is plenty high enough as I've flown that altitude at same location many times. But if it flew off going in a straight line past the perimeter it would eventually encounter higher ground and it...

98' was altitude. Again I used "find my phantom" but I believe it continued on mission. When connection was lost the flight plan was lost when I attempted to re-establish wifi connection. I had 8 satellites and had IMU and compass calibrated. I keep searching but alas there's a forecast of more...

Has anyone experienced a flyaway during a ground station mission? My P2+ and ipad2 broke connection and I have no idea how to locate it. It's always continued it's missions before and returned. This was at beginning and before 1st way point. I've only seen posts from people that were flying...
