    Known cause/explanation for sudden vertical drop/crash?

    Just happened to me and missed two kids playing on the field by about 12ft which I consider close! Only difference was mine ended upside down with the gimbal ripped off but the rotors still turning. I did have the blade guards fitted though so not sure if that makes a difference. I spoke to the...

    Phantom Rotor Guards?

    I had a crash and still trying too work out why. My P2 dropped out of the sky for no reason at all. Everything was checked, battery full, weather great, etc, etc Now I had the Rotor guards fitted and they are the cheap Ebay ones. I have no idea if they are different than the genuine ones but...

    P2 Crash

    To be honest I was not looking as I was trying to get to grips with the FPV. the controls were near neutral but flying forward - no up or down. So my question would be to your answer is why would the P2 just suddenly change? I must admit I have not tried to fly it since it crashed as it missed 3...

    P2 Crash

    Took my P2 out for its 10th flight today and after about 10 mins on the second battery it simply fell out of the sky for no reason. I am very conscious of fly-a-ways etc as it scares me to death thinking I have almost £1500 flying around without a lead or safety net! I did all the usual checks...

    I have been flying for 3 months now and have to say I find it great fun and the images I am getting blow me away. I have the P2 with the Gopro camera.

    FPV interference

    Had my P2 for about 5 weeks now and I'm only on my 5th flight because I live in UK and its blowing a perfect storm almost everyday! So frustrating, Anyhow my last flight was a few days ago and using the FPV I noticed it was cracking up almost as soon as it was airborne. Both my ariels are up so...

    P2 Battery

    Great advice thanks for that. I did not get any instructions with my Lipo as it was all fitted and ready to fly. The guy didn't even send a battery charger but now I have one and the new battery its all working fine. Because of the price of these things though maybe I would of expected a warning...

    P2 Battery

    We'll I bought a complete fly system and this is my first. The FOV came with the Lipo battery but I never knew if you let it run down to far it would not recharge! That's why I want to be careful with the p2 battery as they are £120. Just seems that if these things don't have a built in meter...

    P2 Battery

    I've just had my p2 battery arrive making me the proud owner of 2. I didn't get any instructions with the first but the instructions with the second didn't really relate to the battery? After destroying a brand new 2.2 lipo because know one told me not to run it to low I'm worried I may mess...
