    Question for licensed pilots!!

    As a commercial pilot, I’ve gotta thank you. Best laugh I’ve had all day. The Fed in your jumpseat is NOT your friend. Curt

    Update stuck at 99%

    So true! DJI software is not intuitive. Had I not read this thread, I was going to own a brick. Stuck at 99%, and then video feed was all screwed up. Nowhere does it say anything about updating the controller or how to go about it. Curt

    Anyone lost a P4 near Dural NSW Australia

    Maybe that's the one I lost while testing a new home made super high capacity battery design! I took off from the Los Angeles area and headed southwest. I lost the video link at about 4,500 miles! It must've just kept flying. Let's get in contact so I can get my bird back... Curt

    Battery charger blew up!

    Since this thread has gone so far off anyways, I wonder why we feel that R/C batteries need to be "constantly monitored" during charging, but our phones, laptops, etc. don't. I charge my iPhone next to MY BED, and not in a Kevlar bomb safe, either! Just sitting there on the nightstand! The...

    Battery charger blew up!

    Really? Do you actually stay in the same room with your batteries, watching them charge?

    Nexus 7 Go app "not compatible"

    So I got the go app to install and run on the 2012 tablet by a back door install (apk?), but the video was very laggy and pixelated. Yeah it runs, but mostly useless. Curt

    Nexus 7 Go app "not compatible"

    Been around a long time, but my interest kinda comes and goes. Bought the first Phantom, then a 2, now a 4. A "love hate relationship" with DJI, I guess. Sort of like Apple. Like others, I get inspired by videos that people post, then realize that getting the shot is just the beginning of the...

    Nexus 7 Go app "not compatible"

    Hi all, I picked up a Nexus 7 tablet on Craigslist, hoping to use it for my monitor and nothing else. When I went to google play store for the dji go app, it says "your device is not compatible with this version". Can I get a version that is compatible somewhere else, or am I stuck? I'm not...

    RTH anxiety

    Well said, Alec. In a perfect world, it'd miss obstacles during a RTH, but we don't live in a perfect world, so that's the point of setting the height before one flys anything more than a local, right in front of you type of flight. Thanks for your thoughts on it. Curt

    RTH anxiety

    So just to clarify the RTH altitude setting, wouldn't the craft return to the home location and climb to avoid obstacles in its path, assuming everything was working properly? Why is this idea stuck in my head? P4. Thanks, Curt
