Video was only partial, the 'landing' part was missing, first parts were ok.

Compass was NOT calibrated after fitting the phone. Phone wad inside an OPENED cover, partly blocking airflow, I expect. Phone was attached on front right leg, which if course is pretty close to the compass. This was a very scary experience!!!

Well, great and amazing mainly apply to the fact that my bird came back home...

I made a modification I shouldn't have made. You'll love this video: http://youtu.be/6Y0qlqUVCw4

I don't think you can do that. The radio uses a dedicated receiver, plugged into a canbus instead of 'normal' controls with multiple channel outputs.

Good point, thanks!

I am thinking about converting my P2V into a a Flame Wheel 550. Buy the 550 ARF kit, including motors and ESCs. Then take all the other parts of the Vision and place them on the Flame Wheel. Has any of you ever done this before?

Re: STICKY: Preventative Maintenance checklist ideas One more thing I check at the start of every flight: - Number of remaining pictures. Reason: If this is 0, the memory card is not in the camera. It easily pops out when you touch it. Even though I put some adhesive tape on it to prevent loss...

People post negative news easily. I have never had any problem with my P2V whatsoever, having flown for quite some time now. Enjoy your flights!

Typical Ireland! Is this Howth???

Re: STICKY: AutoPilot v3.04 Update 5/21: Updated NoFly Zones Max descend speed on going Home has now been limited to 2 m/s too. In 3.02 this was still about 4 m/s. Ok for stability, not ok for flying at high altitudes... Wasn't mentioned in the release notes.

My normal range is 1000-1400 meters vertical, 600-1000 meters horizontal. Standard Phantom 2 Vision, pot meter turned all the way to the right. I live in a rural area. For maximum range, the position of wifi amplifier and antenna are very important. My max. altitude so far is 1456 meters, max...

Re: STICKY: Resetting HOME Location & RTH in Naza or Vision I am 100% sure it worked that way. In the area where I usually fly, the largest trees are about 40 meters high. I used to first climb to 30 meters, then set a new home point. That way, going home would always first climb to a safe 50...
