    Cell Tower Question

    We own rural property and are in negotiation to have a cell tower erected on the back part of our property. It would be about 2/3rd's of a mile from our house. About all I can say is that the proposed tower is 180' tall. If I fly near the house, (2/3rd's of a mile away from the tower), would...

    So did my battery update?

    I've only had my P3A a few weeks and bought a second battery -- not sure if it updated. Shouldn't the last line say "success" or is the first line the last event? The light on the camera and the sound the AC made during the process seemed to match what was described as success. Thanks...

    Noobie question about beginner mode and "out of range"

    I have a whopping six flights with my P3A, love it. I'm flying in beginner mode and occasionally I ge a message "max flight distance reached" so I know I've outstepped my boundaries. Today, on my second flight, along with that message I got a message "out of range". I don't remember getting that...

    Version unknown

    Mine does the same thing with my iPad Air2 but the correct versions show up on my iPhone 6s. Same problem before I updated to latest FW.

    Update to latest FW from 1.4

    I did the update following the detailed steps I downloaded from this forum and it went quickly and smoothly. Although my iPhone 6s shows the correct FW versions in the About section of the app, my iPad air2 shows them as versions unknown. I'm guessing it's an iOS/iPad thing and I may do a...

    Update to latest FW from 1.4

    Yes, I've downloaded and printed these instructions for when I do the upgrades. It does not specifically say if the AC should be or needs to be on when updating the RC. Maybe I'm overthinking things.

    Update to latest FW from 1.4

    Out of the box, my AC firmware is 1.4.10 and controller is 1.4.30. I am using latest iOS Go app. Curiously, using an iPad Air2, firmware version showed up as "firmware unknown" but with iPhone 6s I could see the actual versions. I'm not sure why that happened but I figured out that discrepency...

    A few questions before first flight of my P3A

    Any thoughts about why the rc and Ac show as "versions unknown "? Hard to know what the latest FW version is to know how to upgrade, right?

    A few questions before first flight of my P3A

    If I can impose with a few more questions. I've gotten everything turned on, calibrated compass. I use shows good. Camera works but moving the left stick does not start the motors. AC and controller FW versions show as "unknown". Is this why motors don't start? Front lights solid red, rear...

    A few questions before first flight of my P3A

    Appreciate all the responses. Luckily we live on 90 acres; approx. 15 acres are treeless pasture so I have a great practice area within a few minutes walk. I am anxious to get started but I am cautious to make sure everything is done right. Thank you for the advice.

    A few questions before first flight of my P3A

    I have not flown before. It has taken several days just to find time to get things unpacked, charged and ready so until I turn it on, I have no idea what FW version I have or what to expect. I know I will need to register with DJI. I also have both an iPad air2 and an iPhone 6s, both of which...

    A few questions before first flight of my P3A

    I've been reading forums and watching videos prior to purchase but I finally pulled the trigger and bought one. The rain has finally passed (for now) so I think I'm about ready to fly. I've charged the batteries, unpacked everything, and downloaded the GO app, etc. although I've not turned...
