    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    Hi, I'm hoping for some extra guidance! To begin, I am a quadriplegic, so with that I have no fine motor skills. Fortunately I am used to using a joystick to operate my motorized wheelchair, but the Phantom receiver's joysticks are a bit more sensitive. My flying can be a bit choppy at times...

    Hi, I read the thread on how to set up the 14gs to P2. I am a quadriplegic. I would be interested in an adjustment where not ever tremor of my hand results in a change of flight. Also I am interested in being able to have the camera focus on an object as it circles it. Is this possible by just...

    Fly in a perfect circle

    Hi, could you please explain to a complete novice how you would set this up, and then how you would execute the maneuver? Thanks

    Understanding turns

    While it's windy and cold, I'm trying to get a mental grasp of how to turn the Phantom 2. I've been reading about banked turns vs. rudder only turns, and am more confused then when I started. I assume with banked turns, the camera would always be facing forward, in the direction of the turn...

    Flying question

    After looking more into CL, I'm wondering why it is considered "advanced". It would seem to be more fail-safe not having to worry about which way the copter/camera is turned, especially for beginners. Unless I'm missing something!

    Re-assigning joystick controls

    Hi, due to a disability I have better control of the left stick, which I think may be better served for controlling the copter's fwd/reverse/right/left (sorry for lack of technical terms).

    Flying question

    I've only flown my new Phantom 2 a couple of times, and so far haven't tried to control the 'yaw' until I get more comfortable with basic flight. But I've watched several videos where it appears that while the copter is maintaining a straight flight, at the same time the copter is rotating. Is...

    Re-assigning joystick controls

    If I were simply to reverse the wires on the controller, would that work?

    Re-assigning joystick controls

    Hi, I have the Phantom 2 with the new controller. Is it possible to re-assign the joystick controls, so that the left stick controls fwd/rev/left/right, and the right stick controls up/down/rotation? I'm not sure how to do this with the Assistant on a Mac. Thanks for any guidance.

    Gimbal issue

    So you must keep your finger on the control knob in order to maintain that camera angle?

    Gimbal issue

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was able to go into the Assistant and adjust the camera angle. However, when I let go of the gimbal control, the camera returns to the original angle.

    Gimbal issue

    Hi, I recently purchased the Phantom 2 with h3-3d gimbal. I installed the gimbal (correctly I believe), and then I attached my Gopro 4 and powered it on, it went through that quick cycle where the camera points directly straight ahead, then also straight down. However, once it's done cycling...
