    Which mini training quad to get

    I bought a Hubsan X4 before buying the Phantom. I had no prior experience in flying so got a cheapie in case I hated it! Two weeks later the Phantom was ordered. Hubsan will teach you a bit of flying in ATTI mode in case satellites disappear on you or you have a malfunction. Hubsan outdoors...

    Flying Indoors

    One more question. Should I start in ATTI mode or leave it in GPS and see what I can get?

    Flyaway Question

    Manual on DJI website is written differently. I'm reading off the V1.4. Which version do you have? http://download.dji-innovations.com/dow ... 1.4_en.pdf Page 27 explains the failsafe and rapidly flashing green.

    P2V+ very difficult to fly this morning

    I had a bit of an issue like that today where flying in a gully it was going from GPS to ATTI mode. Did all sorts of little turns to affect a lot of my vids. Had to fly ATTI in the end which was ok.

    I'm in Melbourne. Photo was at the entrance to Patterson River in Seaford. Coffs would be really nice to fly at. It's a real coastline after all! I need to get to Apollo Bay to fly around, but need to arrange a way to charge in the car first :)

    Conversations

    I had a first time today where I was at a beach in a more public place. It's still winter here in Australia, but enough to have a few conversations with people. I found particularly those who didn't want to say something were the ones who could be more concerned with what I was doing, so I...

    Flying Indoors

    If I crash into someone and they are injured it will be on the back page of every paper in Australia given the clubs profile.

    Flying Indoors

    Thanks for all the replies! Looks like I need to find a big open place to fly atti to get a feel for a while. So atti mode will self level but has no sat connections to hold it in position right?

    Wind speed Threshold PV2+

    I don't like flying in more than 20kmph gusts. You can hear the phantom working hard in those conditions. It can manage but I don't like the feeling!

    Hoping to purchase soon

    I started with an X4 and then bought a Phantom. No other flying experience! As long as you have a good procedure for before takeoff and after landing, read the manual thoroughly, don't do anything silly on your first few flights (flying between a gap that's a meter wide and 400m away) you'll be...

    Flying Indoors

    I've been invited to do a demo flying session with a sporting club which has a massive indoor arena. However the arena is within 1.5km to 2.0km of Tullamarine (Melbourne International) airport. I'm using the latest software on all apparatus (bird, controller, dji app); 1. If I take off from...

    Avoid exceeding legal max altitude

    I think the regulation said anything under 200g didn't have restrictions, but yes, the 3nm was about flyaways, losing control (lets say the throttle got stuck on full up!) or a real plane having to make emergency manoeuvres thus not following a normal flight path etc... [email protected] was...
