    P2 losing contact with transmitter ...help!

    Checked all settings and they are fine. Re-calibrated everything and still have a problem. However I have identified what the problem is. The controller is becoming unpaired during flight. This is why i have no control over the P2 during return to home. Once landed it needs to be paired again...

    P2 losing contact with transmitter ...help!

    Recently had a new Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal fitted and upgraded to the current transmitter. It is the original P2 which came with the transmitter that had the gimbal control on the back. When i am flying the P2 keeps going into failsafe mode and returns to home. It doesn't even let me recover by...

    It's both, you do a written theory exam. you have to pass that first before you can write your Ops Manual, Once that has been approved you can then take your Practical flying exam.

    Five months from taking the theory exam but hen you have to write an Operations Manual (not an easy thing to do). Then there's the flying exam, then the application to the CAA for your permission. I think if you are doing this from scratch I think 5 months is about what it will take. Cost wise...

    Too scared to try!

    Hi all, I've been given the answer to a question but I need it confirming. I have a hexacopter using the DJI flight controller with a Frsky Taranis transmitter. The question I need answering is; If the hexacopter is in flight and I pull the throttle fully back to bring the copter down, will...

    Need a question answering...

    Would a Phantom 2 just fall out of the sky if one of the motors failed? Same with a hexacopter, could that fly on 5 motors or would that just fall also? Thanks in advance!

    Which Transmitter?

    Let me know how your flight goes, I'd be very interested. Another transmitter that I've seen is the Spektrum DX7. Is this any good?

    Which Transmitter?

    Need a bit of help from the people who know. I'm still a bit of a newbie but I'm slowly starting to find my feet. I have been looking at new transmitters with the Futaba 8J catching my eye. I initially liked the idea that the stock transmitter had the joysticks spring loaded but I'm now...

    Poor Range

    Thanks mate I got the spironet antennas and I'm using those at the mo. The ibcrazy 5 turn is still out of stock. Lost reception in me goggles just as I lost control of the phantom but it was ok as it went into RTH mode ...which it did! Hoping for a better picture when the other antenna is in...

    Poor Range

    Just been out with the phantom 2 and lost range at about 0.3 of a mile. Could my batteries need changing in my receiver? I have checked them and they seem to be OK. Could it be anything else. I was in a built up area. What is the best position for the antenna on the receiver to get maximum range?
