    Chicago area?

    That's strange. I'm confused you mentioned you did the calibration in the same area you were getting errors?? Anyway, it seems you fly often along the lake so find and fly where there's no errors and don't fly over the areas you know you its bad.

    @SteveHig that looks great man! Will the LED lights be flashing inwards towards the center? I'd love to spend some time making a landing pad this spring. Let me know if you got a detailed plan for your build you're willing to share.

    I wish I resisted my urge over the holidays. It would have saved me $500. Got my p3p with a free hard case backpack and 2 extra batteries for under $1500.

    Best tablet for DJI GO

    I've been using the tab s2 for a couple of weeks now without any hiccups. I'd say it's working flawlessly. I love how it has a large bright display, it's light, and has an SD card slot.
