No drinking until later that night. No I did not switch to Atti. This happened in the blink of an eye. Guess with the lack of operable neurons, I just froze and watch helplessly as she flew into the yonder. I'm just lucky it did not gain altitude and hooked in to land. I still have my bird. I...

After a year of flying my P2, I had my first real crash. Flying at a lake near Atlanta, I was having a problem getting full GPS lock due to trees. So what do I do? I decide to launch off a floating double decker dock. A dock made almost completely out of steel and aluminum. I know better. But...

Does anyone know of or had experience with a device that can take the FPV feed from a Boscam monitor and wirelessly stream the video to another monitor located a few hundred feet away inside a building? Or does anyone have an idea how to accomplish same using other methods? Can it be done?

Thanks Ozzy, I wish it were that obvious. The DJI GS manual does address this and I wish it was so clear and obvious. But the Chinese to English translation makes no sense to me. A normal recommended offset for my area is 297 meters when set to altitude. That is almost 1000 feet AGL. But if set...

Amongst other issues I'm trying to get my head around with the PC GS is the altitude offset. In the Syst Setup menu, there is the alt offset options. After reading and rereading the manual, I'm still in the dark. What exactly does " offset" mean? There is a height and elevation option. Height is...

I decided to uninstall the PC GS software and reinstall from the DJI website along with drivers, etc. I was able to run a couple af successful simple Sim missions. But on one mission I did a pause. But could never get it to continue. It just hovered. And I could not take control back through the...

Thanks Zenith. The more I use this PC GS software, the more confused I get. Maybe it's me. Maybe it DJI's less than stellar GS PC manual. Or maybe it's Win 8 ( I think 8 is the worst product MS has ever produced). It's probably me. OK, today I'm trying to use the Sim. Hooked up with P2, got...

Got my GS a week or so ago. Unfortunately I have an iPad 2. The app needed only works in v.3 and higher. So I'm trying to tackle the PC GS software. As mentioned several times here, the DJI PC GS manual is somewhat a challenge to interpret. I have not taken a real flight yet. Hoping to do one...

Thanks El guano, that makes a lot of sense.

Thanks all....is there a REAL max takeoff weight that P2 drivers should adhere to?

My currently configured P2 weights 1350 grams on a postage scale. I have H3-2D, GP 3+B, FPV, iOSD, CAN-Bus & GS Datalink. The manual says max t/o weight =<1300 grams. Anyone have experience with this configuration & weight?

Has anyone had issues running The GS software in Win8? It will not open automatically and the file tree lists the .exe file as a Windows 7. I downloaded the 7 file in 8 and I seem to get the dashboard to open but I see no directions, manual or simulator. Is this normal or do I need a Win 8...

Amazing!

I have a P2Z with iOSD Mini. I have updated to v3.0 and my first two flights have been test flights at low altitude (10-15 ft altitude) and no more than 50 ft from home point to test the new firmware. All seems fine except the data from the iOSD. It shows 20 meter (60 ft) altitude when only at...

I just bought a new battery (my 5th) and on my first flight I got 14:58 min before I hit my 1st alarm set for 20% (actually it was at 18% once I landed and stopped the timer). I had fully charged the battery 24 hours before this flight for the first time. Even with 20% left, I would only have...
