And on my desktop I now have the P2 VISION 3.6 Assistant icon. But when I open the VISION Assistant icon when contected to my P2 Non Vision, I get the P2 Non...

    Phatom 2 Assistant v 3.8

    Greetings, has anyone had issues downloading the Phantom 2 Assistant 3.6? From the Phantom 2 (non-Vision) download site, once downloaded, I got the Phantom 2 VISION Assistant. This happened both for the EXE and the ZIP files. I also tried v.3.4 and the same thing from the non-Vision site. Whats...

    DJI Fix & Feature Wish List (post-3.0.6)

    Re: DJI Fix & Feature Wish List (post-3.0.6) Great thoughts. It would be nice for the P3 to intergrate the GS and iOSD into the inside of the airframe. And maybe a way to swing a FPV antenna into flight position and then into storage position. This would reduce the chance of frying the FPV TX.

    Is the Phantom under GPS control during waypoint NAV?

    If I understand you correctly, you will power on the Phantom, set the HP, drive 45 miles, launch the bird over a 6 mile stretch of water(?) where your friend is waiting at the HP, turn off the TX and let her rip hoping the bird does a RTH? You would need to keep the Phantom powered up during...

    iPad GS search function

    Yes. I can go to the regular Google Maps and do a successful search. But not in GS.

    iPad GS search function

    When using the iPad GS and Google Maps, I try to use the Search Function. Regardless of what I search for ( i.e. Address, street, lat long) I get no response other than the timed out message. What am I doing wrong?

    Power Line Interference

    It's a good idea not to let large power lines get between you and the Phantom. I have flown around heavy power but try to plan flights as far away as possible. But don't let them dictate a fly-don't fly decision.

    Ian, your posts on this subject and many others are well written, logical and insightful. Your advice has been spot on and helped me become better at this quad thing. Thanks and don't stay away too long.

    Backing up GS data

    UPDATE: I decided to test the backup data on a complete iPad erase and restore. First I made sure I was backed up both in iTunes and iCloud. Then I wiped the iPad clean to factory settings. Then did a restore with iTunes. All previous flight plan data was restored into the GS app. I assume...

    Backing up GS data

    Has anyone backed up their flight plan data and then restored it to an iPad? When one backs up with either iCloud or iTunes and then restore all apps, will the saved flight plan data survive in the GS app? Or is there another way to do this?

    Saving Missions

    Great info on this subject. But once a mission is saved, is there a way to upload the mission data to another device to save it safely for future use? I use the iPad. But would like to have past data saved in case of crash or thieft.

    Bad Day

    I did a full calibration of both the P2V and it's RC plus the IMU prior to the crash. I have not done one since yet. On my P2, I did experience TBE when I first got it but after updating FW and doing several IMUs I got it fixed. This issue seems different to me. The TBE is when the bird begins...

    Bad Day

    Update: after the crash, I did not check for the SD card in the camera. A couple of hours after the crash, my wife saw the tiny 32Gb micro chip in the driveway. Stuck it in and got a wi-fi link. Fired the vision up and she flew. However, the GPS lock seemed off. Normally, the GPS lock radius is...

    Bad Day

    After 5 hours the light never went from yellow to green, so maybe not. But I did have a connection before the crash.
