    Black Pearl or Lilliput - which would you sell?

    Hi, I am about to list a Phantom 2 kit for sale on eBay. I have two Phantoms (long story) which are identical in all regards except the fpv monitor. One is a Black Pearl Diversity (32 channel), the other is a Lilliput (it doesn't seem to have a model number, though). Both Phantoms have 25mW TX...

    Five minutes underwater - and all is well!

    Many thanks Noble 1. Actually there are no visible traces that I can see on any external surface (by which I mean inside the housing, of course) but I am concerned about the little nooks and crannies that can't easily be seen. I'll be taking it to a specialist to have it checked over. I have a...

    UK pilots: The CAA and my potential £2500 fine!!

    Good advice. I will contact them. I agree also with your comment 'if you did it every week', which would not be my intention. Perhaps they're monitoring this board, in which case they now have my full name and can track my every move :-)

    UK pilots: The CAA and my potential £2500 fine!!

    Interesting thoughts, Meta4, thanks. I guess until such scenarios are tested in a court they will remain grey areas. Like I say, I'm not personally trying to exploit loopholes, but at the same time I don't want to fall foul of or be hamstrung by what appear to be confused/confusing aspects of...

    UK pilots: The CAA and my potential £2500 fine!!

    I hope you won't object to another 'is this legal' question . . . I am not a commercial operator, although I am considering becoming certified as I am a professional videographer and aerial work could be another useful string to my bow (albeit only occasionally used in my specific field of...

    Five minutes underwater - and all is well!

    Just curious - the only video I found on YouTube (admittedly after only five or so minutes searching) was this one in which the guy actually soaked his Phantom in isopropyl alcohol : I was kind of expecting to be using some kind of spray like this Automation Facilities AF 250 ml Isoclene...

    Thanks very much for the advice. I will investigate asap. Like I mentioned in my original post I will be keeping a close eye on any corrosion (although opening the case each time is a bit of a pain!). Thanks again.

    Five minutes underwater - and all is well!

    Hi, I'm a new Phantom 2 user - just a few weeks - but I'm getting as much practice in as I can before planning for the UK CAA certification in the spring. I run a modest but successful video production business, now in its fifteenth year, mainly business to business with some documentary and...
