    Phantom 4 worked great for 1 year and now video signal horrible

    What Mahera said. Always update DJI Go first, then the controller, then the drone.

    How do you respond to angry people that think you are breaking the law by harmlessly flying?

    And do you mind telling us where that solar array is? It looks amazing.

    How do you respond to angry people that think you are breaking the law by harmlessly flying?

    Always best to try to disarm with courtesy. Tell them that you're completely aware of the regulations applying there and that you've made sure that flying in this area is permissible, and if they beg to differ, ask them which regulation they believe you're breaking.

    How many happy safe flights verses fly away crashes and bad flights

    Just over 100 flights and 100km with no crashes. Speaking about how many people are happy, and how many upset... A poll is running on a Drone FB group about the P4, P4A and P4P firmware upgrades since there are so many complaints. It seems so far, from about 50 responses, about 80% went fine...

    Disappointed But Not Surprised

    If you look at the longer term, these changes to help make sure people fly safely and within the law, will probably bolster our hobby.

    Has anyone used Bluetooth/Gps keyfinders on their quadcopters to track?

    There are many like this but you need to be within mobile data range, no good in the outback.

    First crash: Pilot error and what next?

    Thanks for the honest explanation of what happened, this is how we learn. Reports omitting facts and blaming DJI just cloud the issue. Sent from my SM-G930F using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Tracking vs DJI Go

    You can lose your drone in other ways, for example hitting a tree in a forest. You might see the last position on a sea of green in DJI Go, but it would be more useful to get the coordinates out. Does anybody know how to do that in the field? Sent from my SM-G930F using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Most economic speed

    Wind resistance increases with the square of the velocity, which greatly affects the maximum achievable velocity. Sent from my SM-G930F using PhantomPilots mobile app
