    RTH Problem

    I flew my P3 today for the first time in a long time. I was just going through the basics, auto take off, manual landing, etc. Then I tried RTH by pressing the button on the controller. Much to my surprise, the voice said "Landing" and the P3 began to descend, it didn't return home. I took over...

    Life of Props?

    I have a P3 Advanced. Quite a few flights last year. It is spring now and I am thinking about flying. I just wonder about prop life. I see so many posts about a P3 "falling from the sky" that I wonder about prop life. If a prop failed during a fight it would surely result in a crash. Any advice...

    Display options and the controller

    No, it does display in portrait mode. Sometimes I have to move it around a lot to get it in widescreen mode. Regards, Jim Edit: I stand corrected. While the K1 does have portrait mode, the DJI Go App doesn't. Jim

    Display options and the controller

    OK, that wouldn't be so bad for a while. Or, your other suggestion would also be OK for a while. Best regards, Jim

    Display options and the controller

    Thanks for the reply. The K1 is 221 mm x 126 mm. Would the 126 mm "length" fit? Regards, Jim

    Display options and the controller

    OK, so the phone connects to the controller via micro USB or Lightning. BUT, would my Nvidia Shield K1 fit into the holder? That would be a must for me. Regards, Jim

    Mavic Release Discussion

    I see one downside. According to a review by TechRadar, you only see what the drone camera sees if you have a phone connected. The remote controller screen only shows text information. It doesn't look like my Nvidia Shield K1 would fit.

    Gimbal roll whats it for?

    I have never noticed any horizon tilt. I did my IMU calibration using a glass plate with props removed. Jim

    Neck Strap??

    Actually there is almost no weight on my neck. It is even fairly light on my shoulders. The waist band takes most of the load. The "neck strap" just helps keep the RC level instead of tipping forward. And that is light pressure because of the platform which takes most of the weight. Jim

    Neck Strap??

    Here are a couple of photos of the Zero Gravity harness. (And no, I don't fly with the antennas like shown in the photo.) The rear view looks like the harness may be pushing on my neck, but I don't feel any weight on my neck, just my shoulders. Regards, Jim
