    Finally had my first flight!

    My first flight was with an AR.Drone2.0 3 years ago. They are made to beginners and gave me some fun flying. I was young when i got the ar drone so it was the beginning of my flying hobby. So when i got my phantom2 last christmass i was trained but had not been flying for about a year because...

    my first encounter with a jerk

    Never been to such encounters myself, most of them has only been positive ones. Has not been to fly much in populated areas tho and most of my places is out in the wilderness. But one day i walked with my dad to the top of a hill where people commonly do trips. An older couple came while i was...

    Had a nice deer encounter some days ago

    Was out to fly after weeks of high wind and bad flying conditions when the weather finally got wind free. Then i saw a deer lusking in some high grass 300m away. I was thinking about flying towards it at the first sight. But i was not expecting to get a shot as the last time i was going to fly...

    Just flew over 2km out with stock P2

    Yeah long range travel is really addictive. My longest recorded flight from where i stand is 450m. I got 250MW FPV transmitter with cloverleaf antennas so i could probably go further but my battery is not to trust (atleast not the old one i used then). I bought a new one today to try as fast...

    Autopilot - Engage - Crash

    I had a similar crash with my P2 caused by the stupid autopilot. I landed with low power and at the moment i was going to turn the engines off the lights blinked red and the low power autopilot kicked in making it go back up in the air slowly towards my house wall (didn't have any control and to...

    How far can i get FPV signal with 250MW transmitter with cloverleaf antennas?

    I got some cloverleaf antennas and a 250MW transmitter. How far can i really go with that signal before my signal drops out totally? Have been going 450m without problems but i want to get the idea. Maybe other people with same strength can share their results?

    Phantom Vision 2 -GoPro set up possible?

    I comment to right your comment there. I have actually turned my P2V completely into a P2 with gopro and fully working FPV and everything so it is completely possible, not even that hard many have said. My FC200 cam died by update (proves that it is junk). I trowed it away because it couldn't be...

    Turning a phantom 2 Vision to a phantom 2 with gimbal/gopro and fpv is possible

    I'm back with an update on my vision -> gopro FPV project! Some weeks ago i finally got my FPV goggles proving that the video output from the p2 mobo worked like an usual P2. It detected the signal at once! And i flew around 450m away from my location with clear video signal. didn't even know a...

    Phantom 2 Went to "mad mode" on landing

    Lol yes I'm sure that didn't happen:) might just be some malfunction due to low battery power. Seen similiar accidents linked to that

    Phantom 2 Went to "mad mode" on landing

    Also i think i know that it is unhealthy. It was just this one situation this happened. I usually land with atleast 2 whole lights left. Sometimes with the third light blinking.

    Turning a phantom 2 Vision to a phantom 2 with gimbal/gopro and fpv is possible

    (skip the first part if you dont want the story/reason for me to turn it into a phantom 2 with gopro gimbal) Last christmass i finally got back a drone again to fly with after my 3 year old ar.drone got to old to be worth repaired (sold as spareparts to my uncle). Then it was an used Phantom 2...

    Phantom 2 Went to "mad mode" on landing

    I used the general CSC command i have always used without any problems earlier. It happened at the moment i done the combination. Boths sticks down to the center like in the manual. My drone is an previous vision (rebuilt with gimbal and 2,5GHz controller) so it is basically an P2 now but it...

    Phantom 2 Went to "mad mode" on landing

    A week ago i was flying my drone in a small flight because i was kinda bored and wanted to do something outside. After the flight i landed my drone carefully close to where i departed. One light was shown on the battery then. At the moment i did the command to turn off the rotors the drone...
