    Tips for recovering lost Phantom

    Seems like bad planning to be out that far and only 25% battery left. And now with the suntans you can go further without loosing signal, seems like a lost bird is in your future. Sorry, just my opinion.

    Discharging/Cycling Batteries, what do you use?

    That's old stuff. No need to do anything except make sure battery is 100% charged before flying. I have done this for over a year now with no issues. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    New release of DJIGO and Litchi working fine for me.

    I've tried that with Litchi and know it works. I believe DJIGO will also do it, but I have never tried it. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Drone insurance in Ontario Canada.

    If you fly commercially you gotta have liability insurance in Canada. Right now for pleasure you don't need it but it looks like that might change this year. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Drone insurance in Ontario Canada.

    My commercial insurance for 1mil liability is $700/yr. in Ontario. Don't like that, looking for much better. Apparently the pay as you fly insurance may come out here in Canada this year. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    License

    No license yet, coming soon You need insurance. You need to get the exemption for a UAV under 4kg (which all the Phantoms are) or file an SFOC for every flight (huge pain in the arse). You also should take a UAV ground school course (you will need this when a license becomes necessary anyway)...

    Just clean it up, maybe change the props and away you go. WASH IT, that's the worst advice I've ever heard...my opinion. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    I want to start Litchi

    Litchi has been rock solid for me, been using it since it came out. You really have to read and understand the app documentation before you try it but there are lots of YouTube videos and support on this forum. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots
