    Phantom 3 Pro App. version 3.1.15 A/C version 1.11.20 Remote Controller version 1.9.2 iPad Air 2 iOS 11.0.1 I assume you are flying a Phantom 4. So we are using different apps. Could it be a usb cable or iOS 11, Apple, problem?

    Had the same thing happen to me. Right after I took off on the first flight of the day. I had a dark screen on my iPad and that warning, but it only lasted for a few seconds. My Phantom3P was only about 200 feet away from me. My battery was 98% and signal was good. So I continue my flight and...

    Notify Airport / Tower with a radio.

    You are right, but I am required by law to notify three airports within three miles of my house every time I fly and I suppose that I should do that every time I take-off. None of these airport are used at this time of year (three foot of snow). It would be good if I could call up on my radio...

    Notify Airport / Tower with a radio.

    I would you more but my typing is not so good. When flying HAWK N66CB the proper phraseology for initial contact with Whitted ATC tower is A-“Whitted Tower, HAWK SIX SIX SIX CHARLIE BROVO, five NM west of the airport, request permission to enter Class D airspace for unmanned aircraft for...

    Notify Airport / Tower with a radio.

    One of these day’s I hope we have it all this worked out. A hand held radio seems like a good next step. My line of thinking if the FAA thinks our Phantoms is a a/c then we should be able get a radio licence for our a/c just like any other a/c. After all if memory serves me right on my Remote...

    *** Posting About Your 107 Results? POST IT HERE!

    Passed the knowledge test yesterday 87%. I do have to say, I did become a private pilot 48 years ago, but did not log more than 500 hours during that time. I would consider myself a “Weekend Pilot”, and am not current at this time. The test is as hard as getting private licence back then. FAA...

    My review of the osmo mobile + cinematic shots

    Its brand new and still has some bugs. Which really depends on which phone you have and where you upload your media to (Final Cut Pro X). I went with the iPhone 7 and at first it had a little bit of a intermittent shake when I first got my setup. Since then DJI appears to be working very hard to...

    Multi battery charger

    That is true and I did kind of something like that with my Phantom 1. With the only problem I can see is when you charge parallel the charger sees each cell as one. For example if you are charging three batteries with three cells each your charger is seeing only three cells. You also need a...
