Flying inside https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_airspace without adhering to the requirements for being allowed to?

Maybe a bad/worn motor bearing starting to seize up due to overheating? Weigh it down and let it run on the ground under load and intermittently check temperatures.

Dogs 1 - Phantom pilot 0. :mrgreen:

You wrote you switched to failsafe. If that is with S1 it eliminates an accidental switching to Manual mode which would have given the same result. Especially since you apparently added a gimbal and another camera so weight will be higher than the standard FC40. In Manual mode your bird will...

Not with a Phantom but you can with a multirotor with collective pitch. Flying starts at 4 min. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnGhEInTXYc

En dat levert ongetwijfeld fraaie plaatjes op. Echter... Art. 2i van de Regeling Modelvliegen:

And I believe it stays in CL even when you go outside the 10m circle again so you need to flick S2 again to get the mode you want.

Re: The Phantom 2 Vision main controller firmware has been u Nazi mode? :shock: Is that when it turns into a diving bomber and plummets itself towards the ground? :D

Only one example of the many benefits of NAZA mode and IOC: When I want to make some shots from high up I always switch to Course Lock. Then I can switch to ATTI to remove the tilted horizon resulting from Position Hold and let it drift with the wind while panning. When I feel it has gone far...

Sure. No knowledge needed to use the product. Only to use it for any prolonged time without it being destroyed in a crash or doing a 'flyaway' or being charged with an offence or being sued for damages. I'm afraid people saying "I do not know of any mayor incident to have happened (yet) and...

If that's the first commercial licence for an UAV then I guess these have not been used in the US, which I frankly find somewhat surprising given the huge potential for these small helicopter crop dusters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZBhvnXENI4

If you pull the throttle all the way down first and THEN move it to the side while at the same time moving the right stick to the/a bottom corner the tipping over will not occur. Just an immediate shutdown of the motors. It's the way I always do it.

Re: Nitrocellulose paint and Phantom plastic a safe combinat High time for a little bump methinks. :) Surely someone must have something relevant to report about this. Right?

No, I haven't been talking about the P1. This technique is completely non-specific for any particular Phantom model and can be applied to any multirotor. Hence me posting it in the General Discussion section of the forum and not any Phantom type specific section.
