2.1 Mile/4.2 Round Trip GS Flight Today

Very nice.

How accurately did the ground station estimate the flight time? Looks like you had a tail wind on the way there and headwind on the way back. What did you set your max speed to?

I did grab control just as it was completing the flight. Not sure why it does a spinning dance once it gets to a waypoint


Guess it has to be something in the software , DJI need to polish these things out.

I did see the tali this week and the autonomous flight was perfect , even he did a 360 turn with the tali pointing at the middle (great for videography)

So hope that DJI will do it aswel.

You can select turn type at each way point. It defaults to stop, spin around, hover for 3 seconds, change it to adaptive bank, or bank turn to remove this stopping at each way point. You can also set the direction that Phantom is pointing at/between each way point (In the PC version anyway, I can't remember if you can in the iPad version), it's just not very intuitive as its a value between 0-360 being a degree of rotation, not sure what the value is in relation to yet, I'm assuming the forward flight direction.

DJI has done this very thing, but you need a different flight controller which does not fit in the Phantom. I would imagine the Phantom 3 will come with this feature and much more.
