    Hobbyists flying within 5 mi of airport?

    I have a waiver for the class D airspace that my office is in, and notifying the tower is a requirement of the waiver. I fly in the office parking lot for training, maintenance and r and d. I also notify smaller airports out of courtesy when I am within their airspace, especially if the...

    Hobbyists flying within 5 mi of airport?

    A couple hints about contacting the tower... I fly part 107. I always have all my information written out ahead of time like my coordinates (in decimal degrees, and degrees minutes seconds), distance and direction from the airport, when I intend to fly, Max height, my aircraft registration...

    RC Firmware update bricks P4

    Update. Local repair guys thoroughly tested and found that the faulty RC is "Not Transmitting". It is a physical problem that occurred coincidentally with the firmware update. This is validated because they successfully updated RC # 2 and linked to aircraft # 1 and then aircraft # 2 and it...

    RC Firmware update bricks P4

    This started to work, it had me to reinstalling the upgrade, but then the upgrade install failed. I tried a few times. I am biting the bullet and taking both my aircraft to the local repair shop for some TLC. Thanks again for all the effort Msinger. A huge take away from this for me is that if...

    If I turn off the RC first, the word disconnected pops up in the grey box that I wish was green and said ready to fly.

    RC Firmware update bricks P4

    I power on rc, then go app, and go app immediately says check Big version info and then latest version detected before I ever power on the aircraft. The bar at the top that says connected or disconnected is grey and says nothing. When I go to control settings it says my c1 and c2 buttons are not...

    RC Firmware update bricks P4

    No, I tried that. It fails after just a minute or so. The go app is not linked to the RC either, despite the cable... also I do not have access to assistant anymore. Screwed by my IT department again.

    RC Firmware update bricks P4

    The go app lists "unknown" for the aircraft firmware as it is not connected. Assistant says it is the most current and seemingly installed correctly. Go app lists rc firmware as 1.8, but assistant lists 1.9.3. I will be in the hotel and able to trouble shoot more in about three hours. I...
