    Not Quite a Flyaway.. But it still ruined my day....

    Easiest explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_ring_state When I am descending from altitude and I get down to around 100' AGL I start using the right stick and just go back and forth, and side to side to diminish the VRS effect. It seems that a lot of these crashes seem to happen...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range Trying to learn something here since I am not very well versed in wifi or or radio used in RC. I see people boosting the wifi extender with 2W amps and different kinds of antennas and doing nothing on the quad. Others are using this app and are getting...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range Thanks PVF. I have been using the same Wifi Analyzer. The signal from the aircraft is intermittent. It appears and disappears on the analyzer. I was just able to check it boosted and unboosted. It was around -58 without boost and -53 with boost. So...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range I was testing the Phantom SSID. I suppose the hidden SSID is the one from the bird itself. Is there anyway to access that one ? I will probably be able to test tomorrow in a new location. I will keep testing and re-testing and report back.

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range In the one regular flight scenario that I have been using to test the app it does not matter what I do, I get right around 1200 ft. and lose FPV. I have tried it stock setup, stock setup boosted, 1.0.39 & 1.0.40, 6dbi add on antenna on the wifi...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range Hey PVFlyer. Did you see my question in an earlier post asking whether the booster app is actually getting confirmation from the P2V+ that it is boosted, or does it just send the command and not actually receive anything back ??

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range Yes, I see the "your vision is boosted" message, and it is on a P2V+. I just came in from another test. I flew it out unboosted until I lost the fpv. (only about 1200 ft and still LOS) then I flew it out for probably another 300 ft. and still had no...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range After around 8 flights over two days with virtually no improvement in FPV distance, today I also tried the in-house testing using a wifi signal strength app. From about 15 ' away I initially was getting pre-boost readings of -60 dbi. I then activated...

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range I installed the Android booster app yesterday and tried a few things today to test it out.

    New Bird....NO FPV...BLACK SCREEN

    I have had those kinds of issues with version 1.0.40 of the android app. I downgraded back to 1.0.39 and problem solved, but I don't know if the same problems exist with the iphone app.

    Busting Myths about the FAA and Unmanned Aircraft

    The biggest problem I see is the obvious double standard of the FAA. They are well aware that Hollywood and television productions are using aerial photography platforms, I.e. drones, yet to my knowledge they have never sent a cease and desist letter to any of them. You just about cannot watch a...
