    Take off with a twist.

    It began on or about 7 launches ago over the past week. The first time it happened I was visiting a friend on an island surrounded by swamp close to the gulf. This was the first time it occurred. It was not a bad environment at all. Mostly lime rock, shell mounds, and sand geology. I had some of...

    Take off with a twist.

    When I launch my P2V+, it very recently began to do a quarter turn to the right as it takes off. Once it makes its little turn, it is fine. I made for certain sure that I was not pushing the stick to the right as I was taking off. I re-calibrated the controller and that did not resolve the...

    A little advise for the new guy.

    I want to purchase a seven inch tablet for my visual and camera functions. I will admit that many of the new tablets and the refresh rate for all the different tablets is a bit overwhelming. I did purchase a Nexus 7 made by Asus. I have always found that Asus is a very reliable product. I have...
