    Lost video signal - Didn't gain back even at 3ft away...Why?

    Re: Lost video signal - Didn't gain back even at 3ft away... Be sue to have the wifi extender fully charged, and have the face if it posted at the quad during flight. Also have the "stick" antenna in the vertical position, not horizontal. Don't know if this might have been your problem (suspect...

    Lost My Vision + :(

    lost my first one on the second day, 5th flight. Have not seen hide nor hair since. With the second bird, I set the RTH, limited the altitude to 250 ft, distance to 200 feet, and have tested the RTH function several times. Next, I will test RTH using the S switch. Not taking any chances with...

    What's the best flying options when sight is blocked ?

    I just reset my RTH altitude to 100ft in 3.08. Haven't tested it yet cause I still hit trees on every flight. I have a 500 acre field that just baled cotton next door, so I'm going over there tomorrow to fly without trees (quad magnets!). fly safe WW

    Can't set RTH altitude with 3.8 Software

    Went back in this morning and everything updated just fine. Guess I had to not only reboot the Phantom equipment, but also my Mac Book. fly safe WW

    Camera on P2V+ moving with yaw control

    Camera on P2V+ moving with yaw control

    PV2+ issue, does yours do this?

    I was flying yesterday, and my bird (Juliette III) was doing all kinds of weird stuff: 1 - couldn't get to the phantom LAN until I turned off every other transmitter in the house (first time for that!). Actually, the last time I had flown, everything was normal. 2 - three batts that had been...

    Can't set RTH altitude with 3.8 Software

    Uploaded the new SW, plugged into the bird, opened the page for resetting the RTH altitude. It was pre-set @66ft (I'm in the US). I entered 100 ft, which it took in the box in red numerals, told me to "press enter to write" in red. Hit enter, the message to hit enter went away, but the 100 ft...

    New guy with a new Phantom 2

    I had a similar experience on my 4th flight - lost the LEDS in the sun, got the loss of video, followed by the dreaded loss of signal. Last seen, the bird was at 393 ft, a heading of 073, and 9 mph never to be seen again (the woods in that direction go for miles and look like Viet Nam)...

    FAA section 333 exemption

    I'm a licensed pilot and I'm a little confused. All the regs mentioned here refer to man-rated aircraft. Indeed, Part 91 are the regs by which small and large man-rated aircraft are operated. Some of the requirements (>400 feet) are in direct contradiction to part 91, which requires pilots to...
