Got it. I was hoping to use the pre-sets so I could pull up a security scenario that the phantom would fly. Thanks

I have two phantom 1s (along with a vision) and the transmitter is tuned to the specific phantom. Is there any possibility somebody might have switched the transmitter before you bought it? (I think there is a procedure to match the phantom to the transmitter but I don't know what it is.)

Is there a "save" feature that I am missing for the new ground station function? I was able to get the map from the internet but it doesn't look like there is a way to program a series of waypoint that can be used over and over. Thanks!

Shaft is still there. I put a prop on it with no problem. I am sure the error is mine. I never "tightened" them down in any way. I just spun them down. Now I'll hold the motor and just make sure it is snug.

Out of the box DJI props. I have only had this phantom three weeks. This is the same phantom that would start the motors individually with the throttle at center. CSC wasn't working. (Is now) This phantom is possessed and I am getting the feeling a new problem is lurking around the corner.

Last night on a routine flight something strange happened. The phantom had been flying for about 7 minutes and still had plenty of battery. I was not in a hurry and was bringing it back home. All of a sudden, the phantom started tumbling and angled down (almost vertical) and hit the road. I...

You nailed it. I still don't know why it would start that way. (a bit more caution when moving sticks around) I connected to the software and it showed a slight variation in the control stick position numbers. (within 100) I could push inward on the control stick and the number would go to...

I recently purchased a "returned Phantom 1" at a retail store. (not from anybody on the approved supplier Phantom list.) Info on store available if anybody wants it. There are still 4 Phantom 1s on the shelf and a Phantom 2. Buying a Phantom this way has taught me a lot about the inner...

Thank you for answering this way. There are some responses that say "read the manual" or "why didn't you search". Just this morning' , I was trying to figure out if GSC could be used with my vision 2. The software did not show up in the download list. (Neither did the Google app!) I searched on...

All are invited to 1A7 in central TN. Lodging across the street. Bring Phantoms. Day only airport, approach over the river from either north or south. 3800 ft beautiful runway. No fuel. Check Google Earth Coordinated event?

I am currently in Warsaw Poland and realized my comments are very US centric. What are some of the international regs that might be a guide?

I am copying this from a posting in the "licensed pilots thread" I believe that the FAA might get creative in their approach to drones and I hope it is similar to how they see ultralights. In the ultralight world the FAA says "...it should be emphasized that the individual ultralight operator's...

Sorry, I added more to the thread than I should have. I will put another comment in a different thread.

I have been flying since 1976 and am still active. I fly a Cherokee and a Commander. I now have a Phantom 1 and a Phantom 2 Vision. Its a flying thing! I thought I would add a few comments. I believe that the FAA might get creative in their approach to drones and I hope it is similar to...

Sorry I missed your reply! Give me a call when you come to Cookeville. Gainesboro isn't far away and there are some great places to fly. Put 1A7 (Jackson County Airport) in Google earth and you can see my house. I look forward to a visit.
