Yes you can, just close the upgrade poup screen and go to cal screen. Works quite well.

Very good idea, thanks for sharing. i have used my iphones timer, but this is much better. But in the next few days I will get my Jeti DS-16 TX and then that problem will vanish :)

Sorry you are wrong, they will hurt you pretty badly, from the Phantom Facebook group:

If you use 1760 or more on each flight you are hurting your batterypacks, and they will not last as long as they could. And you are also taking so much out that you could end up with a crash because the voltage will drop a lot very soon. The rules for making LiPos last a long time is dont take...

+1 green green sticks not in center, usually your throttle will be at the bottom, green both sticks in center.

I always fly with the GoPro Hero3 attached. I have my iPhonetimer on 9 minutes and often fly in manual mode, fast and fun. Last Friday i used 5 batterypacks this way and 5 on smooth mild videorecording flying, the difference in what I charged back in the packs was very little, it varied from...

+1 I have the old one, first edition, like it a lot, the new one seems to be even better!

I forgot to say that I put the timer on 9 minutes, some people prefer 8 mins, depends on your flying style and packsize, and that has worked fine for me. I keep track of how much I charge back on each pack, so I know for sure it works ok for me.

Re: My Phantom Modded For Video - Please review & suggest id Impressing!! But be careful, dont throw in too much money into the Phantom, if you are serious about Video from the air, move to a better platform and keep the Phantom as a training device and a toy, which really is what it is :)...

The charger I use is replaced with this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=18812 You need a powersupply wth at least 500W at 12 Volts, sometimes you see the specs as 12V 40A if you think you are going to use it at full speed. I use a 13.6V 20A powersupply...

The easiest answer is that your Traxxas is on the ground all the time, it will not fall from the sky in case the battery is empty :) The next reply would be that is basically two things to look out for when using LiPopacks. #1 never use more than 80% of the capasity, and #2 Never EVER come...

I use my iPhone as a timer, set on 9 minutes. I fly often hard in manual mode and for instance yesterday I had 5 completely manual flights, I used around 1730 to 1770 mA on each pack, flying in wind. Thats inside the 80% usage window the LiPo guys state as the safe area. That means you could...

Its the other way around, the RX links to the TX, thats one of the reasons why the TX should be on first, but if the bindprocess has been done, in most cases the RX will link to its TX even if the TX is switched on after. BUT another reason why the TX always should be turned on first is that...

Well Sir, I never said they did, I just said they were doing the linking sing and dance number. (after 45 years of using RC equipment, I sort of agree with you that in most cases a TX only send and an RX only recieves :ugeek: ) Here is what DJI says:
