Yes, in theory that's true, but I have experienced that at the end of a Mission the Phantom tends to wander a little if still in 'F Mode'. Flipping the 'S1 Switch' to the top seems to bring it back under complete control, and so I do this as a matter of course now at the end of each Mission.

If you haven't set an option for the last Waypoint, then it will just stop, hover where it is and wait for your instruction. Be careful though, you will be in 'F Mode' to use Waypoints, and although it will maintain altitude (until the battery runs out), its position will not be held by GPS...

An additional battery (or two) is an almost essential investment. An in-car battery charger is pretty useful too. If you are careful you won't need them, but it does no harm to have another spare set of props as well.

No, not at all. Even in London with total wifi & mobile phone overload, I still get 500 to 600 feet before any glitches. Out in the country, it's consistently considerably better. My Standard is quite an old one, I bought it as soon as they came out, it's on the latest firmware and I have had...

A great many factors will affect the range you'll get: atmospherics, terrain, altitude, trees, buildings etc, and particularly radio interference, however I regularly get between 2000 and 2500 feet in the UK (in 'CE mode') in a moderately wifi congested area. In a highly built up area with wifi...

I only use Litchi for the waypoints feature and, for me, this works perfectly well and is easily worth the cost - it has transformed my P3S into a seriously capable device at a bargain price. I haven't tried any of the other features and so can't comment on whether they do or don't work, but I...

Stephen, you can order one through Amazon UK - I did. It does come from 'Blue Proton' in New York, but it only took about 3 days and was very well packaged. There was no extra tax to pay for importing it.

Sagebrush, thank you for your reply. “Your elevation is always AGL from your take-off point . . . ”, so the aircraft altitude in the Litchi app is always measured relative to the take-off altitude – that is what I thought, and it is good to have it confirmed before I go out and try it...

I really like this app, it has been working very well for me (and I would happily have paid 2 or 3 times more for it). I have a question concerning setting the Altitude for Waypoint Missions. Until now, I have been using it in relatively flat open spaces where the ground elevation doesn’t vary...
