    NEWS$6,800 Buys You a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Drone With a 30 Km Range

    The Drone looks awesome and the specs are fantastic. However, if I read the web site correctly do you have to have an ORCA 1 refueling station? The drone is 6,800USD but the ORCA 1 refueling station is 180,0000USD. Can you refuel some other way?

    P4 Take off Problem - No errors Detectable

    I finally found the problem. I found the black cable on one motor to be broken. It looked like it was wedged between the upper and lower shell at some point. The wire was badly crushed but it had enough of it to still run up the motor but I am assuming that when the motor was under load the wire...

    P4 Take off Problem - No errors Detectable

    Thanks for the responses guys. I have checked the rotation as suggested and they do seem to be ok. I compared them with another phantom 4 to make sure they are spinning in the right direction. I think there is nothing else to do but replace the motor and if that does not fix it replace the...

    P4 Take off Problem - No errors Detectable

    It seems to rollover to the rear right. I guess it could me a motor or ESC Board for that motor but it seems odd that all motors run up and test ok with the idle test and I get no ESC errors. I will replace the motor and ESC board and see what gives. Thanks for your time.

    I crashed my p4 and want to try to replace the shell

    the landing gear between p4 and P4p are different. The shell is also different. It is subtle differences but enough that you cannot use parts from a P4 on a P4pro. The replacement is fairly easy and the parts are not too expensive.

    Phantom 4 ESC ERROR (PLEASE HELP)

    I have just looked through the history and root cause analysis of the reported ESC error. The meticulous method of narrowing down the most likely bad part or failure area is first class detective work that even Sherlock Holmes would consider greatness. I unfortunately have a No 2 ESC Error...

    Beginner Mode: Cannot Take Off (NO GPS)
