    Hey DJI: Easy solution to most crashes

    I've been reading a lot on this forum and others. To me, the most common sources of crashes are: actually hitting something due to pilot error and return to home crashes. I'd like to address this second category because there is a very easy solution to it, that can be done via software...

    P3A 3 mile range. Yay..Updated to 1.9.6... regret.

    Does anyone have any solutions ? I am now trying my hand at 1.8. I'm lucky to get 2300 feet now on 1.9.6 where I was getting 2.88 miles just minutes before. Saw someone was able to downgrade from 1.8 to 1.7 and regain their range. Does anyone have the 1.7 zip or bin file ?

    Controller Never Showed Firmware Update on iOS

    I just got a new battery for my P3A and when I fired it up, the GO app said the AC and battery firmware needed updating, so I decided to go ahead and upgrade both to 1.9.60. No problem, it upgraded normally. However, I noticed that the controller firmware version was showing as "Unavailable"...
