    Settings when flying indoors & no GPS home-lock?

    Hey everyone! If you want to fly indoors you'd probably not want the GPS to go crazy on you, right? So, I guess you'd just go into ATTI mode, right? But, does this disable the GPS "FS RTH" function or is it possible that it could still kick in and ram your P2 into the roof or straight through a...

    Any recommendations on a tracker? Trax maybe?

    Hey everyone! First of all, sorry, I understand this topic has been discussed before. I did find one thread by manually searching through page after page of the forum. Regretably the search function won't let me search for this (strange search function...). Just had my second and third flight...

    I finally got my Phantom 2 yesterday, but...

    Xgeek: You are right of course, I don't want an expensive paper weight (thinking about it though, it would make a mighty fine paper weight... hmm, nah, too big for my desk). I just got **** scared when reading case after case (after case after... well, you get my point) of flyaways. If it isn't...

    I see your points and it is good points. Of course there are a lot more successfull stories than what we are able to read on forums. However, I think it probably will be a good idea to get a gps tracker for my birdie.

    Please someone (not DJI) convince me if I'm taking this too seriously.

    I finally got my Phantom 2 yesterday, but...

    That's pretty much the impression I had at first too. But then I read discussions like the one I'm linking to here below. Pretty much all of these users have had the exact same thing happening to them. Normal flight --> (sudden hovering -->) then the Phantom takes off in some direction in high...

    I finally got my Phantom 2 yesterday, but...

    After reading a couple of hundred too many posts about flyaways the last 24 hours I don't know if I dare fly it. I did make a first flight yesterday (great fun! love it!), before reading all these new posts I found. I did know about the problem before but I didn't know it was this bloody...

    DJI Phantom 2 GoPro NYC Times Square Crash

    ****... there's A LOT of people everywhere... pretty stupid decision to go flying there. Do you guys have any ideas about what happened though? Why did he lose control? Could it have been because of radio interference? Imagine that pilot before flying, all cocky with everyone looking at his...

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

    Real good job SJBrit! I really like concept 2, it'll be very interesting to follow the progress. About concept 1 though, I'm not sure if I fully understand the +/- 10 deg fine tilt use. Does it work like this? Switch up, left slider up: 0 deg tilt. Switch up, left slider middle: -10 deg tilt...
