    Wow a phantom owner in London... I thought I was the only one :lol: I am in South London and fly occasional at the old Croydon airfield. Trouble is I can't always tell in advance when I can get there. There is also a flying area in Mordon park. Jonathan

    Vision Props on a V1 Phantom.

    Hi All, This is a very interesting topic. I have a Phantom v1.2 and would like to try using the Vision props but... Which blades have your tests been run against? There seem to be two variants of the PV blades... The dji website shows what I consider to be the original PV blades which are...

    personal vision videos

    Wow, you people all seem to have much nicer places to fly than me. I live in a backstreet in London which is not very interesting at all. Mind you I do enjoy looking at all the great places you fly j

    Goodlucksell gimbal question

    Hi all, Does anyone have an answer to the following? I have a GoodLuckSell brushless gimbal and it works fine on my Phantom with its 11.1v 3S lipo. If I plugged it into a 14.8v source would it blow up or is the input voltage specification a range. I looked on google for a spec for the gimbal...

    GPS tracker on the cheap?

    Ok, forgive me if I've missed another thread, but what are the pitfalls and clone issues? Such a tracker sounds good. Please explain... Do I need to beware? J

    I would be the same. We invest so much in these toys that the idea of losing/crashing/not being in control is truly frightening. And then your hands start to tremble which makes you tense which makes it worse. Mind you, when I flew helis it was worse because, in general, they are much more...

    Range

    Oh boy... I understand that one. I have pretty problematic eyes myself and so it is not really a case of 'mine is further away than yours'. I was asking more in the context of possibly trying FPV which would LET you fly further while still being able to see. The last thing you would want is a...

    I was just wondering if anyone can offer a link to a video or web page that steps you through this process. It would be a great help as I am not too savvy with such things :oops: Thanks in advance. J

    Carbon fiber props. Opinions/experiences go here!

    Hi all, I use CF props (sorry PF it was so long ago that I bought them I cannot provide a source other than to say it was off Ebay) and I must admit that I like them. Quite a lot of it for me is to do with the aesthetics - I like accessorising the white shell with black :P I have found that...

    I really appreciate all the help. It is very useful to learn from other people's experience. Does anyone know what is the max power VTx I can have at 5.8Ghz without requiring any license or anything. I live in London England. Thanks again J
