    Is the end of remote controlled flight really here?

    In case it wasn't clear, the original post is not my words, but rather those of Cliff Whitney. I just copied and pasted from his blog. It seemed like a topic that many (in the USA anyway) might care to read.

    P2V Recovered from a watery grave - now what?

    The battery is out now. After a rinse in the clean water all the muck washed away shell looks like new, except where the screws that hold the prop guards to the bottom of the motor have begun to rust.

    DJI Vision Android App Update

    Thanks for your post. This is right on the money. I gave V1.0.39 another chance, dialed down the preview quality to 320x240 15fps and everything worked fine.

    DJI Vision Android App Update

    Agreed, but I would like to fly now and not wait until they correct this. I'll report the problem to DJI, but I still want a copy of V1.0.38 rather than flying with V1.0.32
