    Hi there, I've read your post on Litchi and the A2 FC. Did you try it out? I've got a P4 and S1000 and love what Litchi can do with the P4. Hopefully you have a good review with the A2 as I'm going to try it out on the S1000. Regards Bret

    Near Disaster, Amazing Recovery...

    Not surprising. The flight controller gyros are very good at keeping the unit stable. I also race drones and have struck tree branches causing multiple blades to be damaged and missing on return. Any UAV with a good FC will do a similar job.

    Fatshark Dominator V3

    I've had the Dom V3 for a while now and use them for hdmi on my P3 and VTX on my racing Machine. I'm very impressed with the quality and perspective.

    Fatshark Dominator V3

    You can change the diopter so suit the shape of your eyes but you'll never get the image sharp from corner to corner

    Fatshark Dominator V3

    The V3s are fantastic. Excellent for the P3 and equally good for my other quads

    Practise Practise Practise advice for Noobies

    When I'm not shooting a job with the P3 or S1000 I'm keeping my eye hand ball coordination up with my Nano QX FPV in agility mode. No auto leveling, no GPS positioning, no nothing. Why? Because it maintains confidence and keeps me on my game. Advice for Noobies or anyone wanting to stay sharp...

    Many issues are self induced.

    I'm one of those who uses checklists for the entire flight. I agree it does take time but not too much when used all the time. My checklists also include a verbal brief on what to do in an emergency after take off similar to my commercial flying days. Might seem a bit dorky but helps keep me in...

    Many issues are self induced.

    Fair comment. And that would account for the defensive approach by others in this thread. I hear you and will help out with a different approach. The best advice I can give is buy a micro UAV and learn all you can about how these systems operate, and fly manually with no self levelling or GPS...

    Does video link ever reconnect after loss?

    You won't have any issues with NZ customs. Make sure you update yourself on CAA regs and local council rules.
