    Chamonix Mont Blanc - Aiguille du Midi

    Hi, im going down there in a couple of weeks. Is it difficult to get down on the base from the cabin station? Are there any stairs or other ways? Is absolutely necessary crampons or skis, even if you follow the tracks near the station? Cheers

    Anyone else have stress cracks on the P4P legs?

    Just be aware that this can introduce extra vibes to the craft, as your messing with the original design. Skids often tends to cause resonance to the fuselage if design is not correct, which in turn can disturb the IMUs.

    Focus at night is giving me fits!

    Well, now you are on totally different topic. Navigation lights for night flights should be a rotating light, visible from every angle. Youll have to mount a large amount of leds to cover 360 degrees and meet those requirements. Alternatively use a strobe light mounted in a dome, but a system...

    Strong wind warnings on P4P

    Remember that not all winds are laminar, if the ac can do 17m/s, it does not mean it can fly 5 m/s in 12 m/s. There is no barometer in this craft, its a barometric sensor that measures the atmospheric pressure, the main purpose of this sensor in a drone, is to maintain a fixed altitude along...

    Will we ever get a bugfree P4P?

    Showed log to Dji, or swap under warranty? You make me laugh, im done wasting my time on Dji housewives support, the best support is the one you can get from other users, everything else is nonsense, sadly. I never calibrate the compass, theres no need to anymore, temporary compass errors have...

    Will we ever get a bugfree P4P?

    It resolves itself, you can also see it in the video, it enters ATTI, and then back again after 15-30 secs. It happens regardless of any spesific location, its all just random. In one of the incidents i disregarded the message and just kept it manually in pos, then after a little while gps pos...

    Will we ever get a bugfree P4P?

    So tired of this, and so tired of running in and out of the dealers door to replace the units. This has been a bug with all the P4P units ive had. Records home point on ground, system is all good, gps rec is good, then 5-15m up in the air it starts to go bananas, and you better always be...
