Hi folks I purchased a second hand p4 yesterday locally for £350.00. A bargain! Anyway I had one hell of a time updating my own p4 2 weeks back to the latest firmware and do not want to go through this experience Again. My question is---- the AC firmware is - 01.02.0602 RC --- is- 1.80 The app...

Thanks for all the feed back guys very much appreciated. I also use flight radar and have done for a few years I like the app. But yes unfortunately it does not show any military aircraft in the area or any warning of exercises being carried out which I suppose is understandable. And going back...

No not at all. My postal code in the Edinburgh area is EH45 No military bases near here. B

I read in the forum Do not fly unless your battery is 100% charged. So, if I leave to go to a point of interest to take photos or video shots, can I stop and go as my battery gets lower? (Eg) 5 minutes at one spot then move on to another spot say 1 hour away and battery has dropped to 80%, does...

Hi Bob It is really shocking. Like yourself, I fly professionally. I have spent like yourself quite a number of ££££ on my hobby and enjoy it so much. I really hope at the end of the day it does not confine us professionals pilots to a very limited area. How to spoil a great hobby for us guys...

Again this morning on the main ITV news aircraft were diverted to other airports to land , due to f----- idiot or idiots flying their drone very close to Edinburgh airport. How bloody stupid and inconsiderate . I sincerely hope the idiots are caught. I do believe a thorough investigation is...

DJI are not good at customer service when it comes to many, many phantom pilots experienceing problems with their craft. I personally would not send any ! That's my opinion. Give them no photos or videos. Their customer service is shocking to many , many customers. B

Used WD for quite a few years on my phantoms and helicopters with no issues.

WD 40 does the job beautifully. I spray a little into a micro fibre cloth and takes of any residue easily and leaves the phantom look like it's new.
