I agree.

I got my first Drone a Phantom P4 at the end of July. Used it 3 times. On a full charge, no propellers sitting on the floor, doing nothing, just turned on it, takes about 5 minutes for the battery to go from 95% to 90%. Is this normal? thanks.

what about a battery threshold?

Yes "Land" over water probably isn't my first choice.. :D

I agree. the phone is low end. had it set to airplane mode so no calls during flight. I'll see how it handles after I get the tablet. thanks.

thanks. Is their a low battery RTH threshold too?

I saw one video where someone had a high gain yagi antenna on a camera tripod aimed up. Does anybody have any links on this sort of thing? thanks.

check ham radio websites. we have to worry about this for communications over distance. If you want I can post some links. thanks.

Ok, thanks. I really need to go though all the settings before flying again.

I understand. That is my problem. That little cell phone, I can't even see the map. Should have my Samsung tablet by the weekend. thanks.

Yes, from watching the video, it seemed to be responding to my commands, even if I couldn't tell that while on the ground. Question : When you hit the RTH, and hear the beeping. Does that mean that the RTH command has been given, or that the unit acknowledged the RTH command? thanks.

thanks. I think it was my cell phone. Its crappy and I think the video buffer got overwhelmed. Could have been doing it the entire time, but at 1/4 mile or so (more like an 1/8 of a mile) is where I looked at the screen for the first time since launch. thanks.

Cool. Thanks. Haven't tried it in anything other than P-Mode. I've flown it about 4 times total. Waiting for my tablet before venturing more. the cell phone operation just doesn't cut it for me. ;-)

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for responding. I'm sure Big Al has forgotten more about aircraft than I'll ever know. (that's a complement).
