    Can the wifi module be replaced with a new one?

    Have the same problem. I did the ping test. The first two pinged but the last one 192.168.1.10 (wifi lower board) did not. Thanks for the great troubleshooting info. I'm going to see about ordering another board and slapping it in..

    visual sensor question

    Is that because the sensor(s) are downward looking and not on all sides? That would be an upgrade. Sensors on all sides and a "buffer" mode of sorts. A protective sensor bubble to concentrate more on the cam work in that situation and not put the drone in harm's way (as much). I'd be reluctant...

    visual sensor question

    Great footage. I was at a park with 50 foot sand dunes with my P2V+and was wondering how the P3 would behave if I lowered it to the max and charged full-tilt at an upwards sloping 50 foot sand dune. Would the sensor allow it to ride the slope upwards and gain altitude as needed? I'll check out...

    A big Pile of Canada Geese in the back field. 2-3m hover

    I went to say hi today with my Vision Plus. They don't seem to mind too much.. Fearless birds... When I was sure they wouldn't freak out I got as close to 2-3m. They regularly stop traffic where I live. Good Heli video subjects. http://youtu.be/taBjVJaQt14?list=UUOvni9R-aDNYcjmUospGeEA

    5400mAh Phantom batteries

    There's that.. Not much good if you save cash but wait for months instead of flying on a known good battery from DJI. Thanks!

    5400mAh Phantom batteries

    Has http://nukerc.com/ ever uhh, been re-stocked since their initial shipment? ;-) I've read a lot about their cloned batteries and would love to try a pair, but there's been no stock for a few months now it seems.

    Switching between GPS and ATTI in flight

    I think your home point was established for your powered on flight session so it should come back to where you were with the rotors off. It will flip in and out of ATTI and GPS, i don't see it resetting the Go Home point. I take off immediately now from my backyard (takes too long to get sats...

    What do you carry your Phantom around in? I.E. How do you protect those protruding antennae in transit? Looks pretty clean.

    Slow FPV

    The 320x240 at 15 frames VS the 640x480 at 30 frames does that to me. Chunky updates. I switch back and forth when I`m looking for detail on the ground. Whoever accuses us of being perverts with these things obviously has never tried to pick out wild turkeys out of a field at 20 meters...

    Cheap carry case

    Looks nice. I have a love/hate relationship with the cammo pattern though. It looks awesome but the military/drone thing, uhh, yeah. I'd almost prefer "I'm not doing anything illegal" Orange or "I'm mostly harmless" Yellow..

    P2V+ Chasing an UltraLight ... [video] {new audio track}

    That was great! With a Hot Air Balloon encounter as someone mentioned, that's just crying out for ATTI mode ;-) (but safety first!).
