Vortex Ring Vortex Ring: Great information - unfortunately I learned the hard way. My P2 fell from about 30' while I was descending straight down (no forward movement). Even full power wouldn't help me recover. I now make all my descents with a forward flight path much like a fixed wing...

When I unpacked my new Phantom 2, GoPro Hero 3+, Zenmuse Gimbal, and Boscam monitor all at the same time I didn't recognize the included charger for what it was - so, I went to Radio Shack and bought a charger for it. Now I have 2 and they both work very well. I've been guilty of "ready, fire...

I can tell you so far that "Bob" with Drone-Mods.com ([email protected]) was "on it". I sent him a question via email and he responded within minutes. When I placed the order I got another personal email from him letting me know he got the order and what to expect. So far I'm really impressed.

Left stick (only) down will solve your troubles! I tipped over every time using the 2-stick method too. You'll be amazed at how in-control you'll be with that simple change.

Thanks for pulling all that information together! I read a bunch of the reviews for the item listed in your #5 and most were saying not to buy it for a whole host of reasons. Feeling a little disappointed in what I read I started over at the top of your list and got extremely interested in #1...

I have an identical setup except I changed out the stock antennas for Boscam 5.8G "Cloud Spirit" and got an immediate improvement. All the static lines and interference disappeared. What was a difficult image to view originally became nearly equivalent to the image stored on the data card.

I've identified mine in a similar way - name, phone, email, + $50 reward offer. The downside of ID-ing your Phantom is if you cause property damage or personal injury, finding the responsible party to sue - you - becomes very easy.

Great tip! After spending $150+ for a case for my P2 I was disappointed to realize I'd be disassembling it every time I packed it up. This'll speed it up.

Thank you! Great docs to have "just-in-case". I agree - arguing will only spiral down at our own peril.

Does anyone have any experience with the "Ttongr" batteries for the P2 advertised on Ebay? They claim they're the same as DJI, less expensive, and provide 2 more minutes of flight time.
