Thanks. Sent link via DM.

To clarify my previous statement, it is common to bring it down as it is returning home, but with the implication that it is in view. Otherwise, you let it return at RTH height. Why it wasn't in view at only 0.25 mile, I don't know yet. There are times when you take your eye off of it, or it...

Yeah, this is definitely a "teaching moment".

FWIW, these are after the upgrade to iOS 14 on iPad... just in case there is any connection.

That is another interesting thing, all of the text files from GS Pro from the last 2 outings have not been readable. I use dronelogbook to track flights and it couldn't read the files and I just tried the one at phantomhelp and it couldn't read them either. Is there another tool to try?

One of my pilots flying a mapping mission (GS Pro) and P4Pv2 went into "Smart Power Go Home" mode. P4P was about 0.25 mile from PIC when in it went into RTL. As it was returning, he applied down throttle to bring it down as it returned. (This is somewhat standard procedure.) I think he...

I have a P4 and received new P4P v2 today. Did the firmware updates. When I take off manually (after rotors spinning), I move left stick up to take off. I’ll usually go full throttle up to get 15’ or more off the ground quickly and then reduce. But… it keeps moving upward at the same velocity...

Most of my projects are >100 acres. So, I use a fixed-wing way more than multi-rotor. I like to think of it in terms of how many acres can I cover per battery flight. With my fixed wing flying at 17 m/s at 120m with 70% sidelap, I can cover ~460 acres in a single 40-minute flight. How many...
