    Not enough power to lift off

    The warranty went out the window when I modified the controller. Its got some additional holes and bits added. xgeek - everything looks good but the P2 doesn't want to play. The other one worked 1st time. Intermittent faults - don't you just love 'em. When I was studying for my HND In...

    Not enough power to lift off

    Thanks for the replies guys. Seems that my transmitter is at fault. Tried a transmitter from another P2 and it worked ok with no problems. Mine has been getting more and more troublesome over the last few weeks. Oh well at least I know what it is now. Maybe this is the excuse I need to buy a...

    Phantom 2 won't lift off the ground

    seems like I'm having exactly the same problem. No matter how much throttle I give it there doesn't seem to be enough revs or power to lift the craft in the air. Its almost like its hit some sort of rev limit. The motors are not running as fast as per normal albeit they are responding when the...

    Not enough power to lift off

    Hi - Just checked and its still in Mode 2. All sticks move as expected in RC assistant. You can hear the power increase as you push the throttle but its almost like it hits a rev limiter and wont increase the power enough to allow the craft to lift off.

    Not enough power to lift off

    Thanks for the reply. Not the props its a motor speed issue. Even though the throttle is at max they are not being driven hard enough to take off.

    Not enough power to lift off

    Hi, Tried to fly my P2 this afternoon and the initial throttle response after CSC and initialisation would not give me enough power to take off. This has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. I'd say Its been happening once in every 4 or 5 flights but today its not taking...

    Aero Sim Simulator

    I have the full versions of both Heli-X and AeroSim. For me the best training is in the AeroSim package. The Heli-X reminds me of a gaming environment. Its good but I feel the AeroSim product has more to offer. The physics in both products is quite good but as you get more experience you realise...

    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    Was the "smart check" resolved in version 2.0 ? Is there a doc somewhere that shows fixes for firmware releases ?

    About to launch my new website... take a look

    Got to agree with the majority of the posts. It takes a lifetime to load. If I'd stumbled upon this site while surfing I would have definitely moved on without waiting.

    TK102B GPS / GSM Tracker - Compatible sims - UK

    Hi, By far the best bargain has to be the sim card from Asda. £5 gets you 2000 texts for 30 days. The card is also more responsive in the tracker than my previous lycamobile card which only gave me around 150 texts for the same price and duration. Better performance and a shed load of texts...

    TK102/2 Sat count SMS command?

    Registering yourself with "Admin<password> <yourNumber>" gets around the SOS button situation but this has issues of its own. I found that if I just entered my authorising number without an international dial code prefix, it wouldn't respond to a phone call to return its position. All of the...

    TK102/2 Sat count SMS command?

    No - only seems to be the basic function "Check<password>" Something else worth noting is that you want to be careful about hitting the SOS button on the top if you haven't set an authorised cell number. Depending on your sim card provider the ability to send texts from the tracker will be...
