    It was almost gone!

    Reguarding the 3-4 second delay for RTH the AC was pretty close to the horizon and fairly low moving fast. If I had waited any longer it would have been beyond visual sight. That's why I went to full climb and it was still just a spec in the sky. Now that I'm thinking about that the limit was...

    It was almost gone!

    You're probably right about the 3-4 seconds. I know I didn't wait very long before going to Atti. Not sure about the compass, it calibrated ok. GPS shielding is the copper foil foam sandwich that covers the GPS antenna to prevent electromagnetic interferance from the circuits and wiring inside...

    It was almost gone!

    Phantom2, immersion 600mw & FatShark mushroom ant., H3-3D with Gopro4 Black, miniOSD, NDJ6 controller & stock antenna, DJI 5400mAh battery. Stripped the body for painting and added a ground wire to the GPS sheilding. Everything checked out, calibrated the compass. Armed the AC in GPS and got 8...

    P2 Waypoints?

    Money's a little tight and I already have the P2 and Hero4 Black with immersion 600mw and monitor. Looking to do simple overfly and circle around property to show clients. Any suggestions for the ground station setup? Thanks for the help.

    P2 Waypoints?

    Sounds expensive. Is it worth the trouble? Looking at recording real estate.

    Another way to prevent motor mount cracks - and stiffen arms

    No special reason, just trying something different and didn't need to open the AC.

    P2 Waypoints?

    Is there any possible way to fly the P2 with preprogramed waypoints? Thanks

    Another way to prevent motor mount cracks - and stiffen arms

    I went a slightly different route. I used a two part plastic specific epoxy to glue the prop guard mounts to the outside of the lower shell. Don't know how much it will help but it is now stiffer than before. Time will tell.

    Motor bearings

    I have a P2 with 20 or so flights. Do you lubricate the motor bearings? If so what do you use and how do you do it? Thanks

    Anyone have experience with www.mydronelight.com?

    Lumen is a unit of light measurement otherwise known as luminous flux. We use lumens to compare the total amount of light output from a light emitter. ... We use lux to measure the amount of light output in a given area, where one lux is equal to one lumen per square meter

    400' FAA altitude limit a law or a suggestion?

    Recommendation or Law. Neither. When the "Regulations" become effective that is what they will be. Only Congress can pass laws. The FAA is a Federal Regulatory Agency that puplishes regulations. Many may think so what. If you run afoul of these and end up in a court of law the difference is...

    False Advertising

    Agreed. But that will leave me without an AC and it will cost much more to replace it from another vender. My goal here was just to warn others to be aware if buying this packaged set.

    False Advertising

    I purchased it through the military exchange who offered to exchange it for another one except when we checked all of the others in stock were the same. They came from DJI under contract to AAFES (Army Air Force Exchange Service). DJI packaged the gimbal together with the AC. The outside of the...
