Here's a look at what I have set up for my P2. ImmersonRC 600mw talking down from a FPVLR pentelobe to a FlySight Black Pearl diversity that is listening with a helix and cloverleaf (both from FPVLR). My thumbwheel controller is now speaking from a circular polarized spherical antenna that...

I hear ya Frank. I'm scratching my head a bit on all of this too. My RF antenna experience goes back many years. I use to help folks with killer systems for their CB Radios, LOL. But your points are well received. This setup is working, and I must say working well. Maybe a tad "directional"...

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I ever would decide to go back to stock, it was easy to just poke a hole. Or, if I end up with another antenna here, or may feed into an amplifier. I think I have exactly what I want set up now. Still on stock dipole wires on the P2 legs (bird-side), but this spherical...

I just replaced the stock dipole in my 2.4GHz controller. Here's a bunch of pics, went very well, easy.

I totally agree with QYV's comments. Lots of things can go wrong with a poor choice of antennas. I switched-over to FPVLR's antennas and I am extremely impressed. Good luck, you'll get it dialed-in.

To expand on what Hughie said, I use the Flytrex Core2, and now have Flytrex 3G Live on order. Then I use a program called Dashware (now owned by GoPro) that lets you attach flight data to gauges within Dashware. It is a very cool capability to add to your Phantom prowess. I can never get...

My P2 has had 100+ Autonomous flights now with my 2.4GHz Data Link connected on the pilot-side to a iPad Air. I have never had a problem. I have had mistakes of varying pucker-factor though. My distance is only limited by remaining battery power. I do lots of long-distance flying too. I'll...

Nice loganboyd!!! Yeah Texas has been getting slammed pretty good this winter too! I also wish we could have more waypoints. Regardless, I always have the first and last waypoint directly overhead. I know a lot of folks successfully fly without wasting waypoints overhead, but I really like...

I believe the procedure is S2, middle position, down, middle, down, etc. fast. Kind of like what you do to S1 to invoke compass calebration. Forcing a new Home Point will show fast-blinking green LEDs, much like your initial Home Lock during power-up. There is a BIG advantage to acquiring...

Let me help answer here. I do lots of autonomous flying with Ground Station running on an iPad Air (cellular data) and connected to the bird via 2.4GHz Data Link. Once you upload your waypoint mission to the Phantom, you really don't need GS any further. The Phantom will take-off and head to...

Hey Guys! I'm in lower Cherokee County. I fly a modified P2 and loving every flight. Very willing to meet and fly. Just wish the weather would give us better days. -paul

Hey Gang! I'm in Cherokee County, Free Home area. I have about 20+ flights under my belt. I just got my Phantom Vision 2+ last week. Looking forward to sharing stories, and possible meet-up. -paul
