Well, I tested it out last night and low and behold there is nothing wrong. From the same place I was trying the other day I as able to lock on 11-12 satellites. Must have been the time of day?

I appreciate everyone chiming in. I wasn't able to test again due to a snow storm. I will try again when the snow lets up but even then there will be a heavy cloud cover which will skew my results.

Sounds normal to me. Prop wash. I try to never fast decent because I don't want to send it out of control. I would be careful and go slow on decent.

So I am having a problem with my P2V where it will only connect to at most 6 satellites. It then bounces between 5 and 6. I have left it turned on and sitting on the ground for 10 minutes multiple times yesterday, pulling the battery and completely rebooting the entire system each of those...

I really just want to know if there is a bad part somewhere and if there are replacement parts I can throw at it in order to resolve the problem. It seems like a very vague warning message and no where can I find what it could be referencing.

Has anyone encountered this status error and is there any more information on how to resolve such an error? The notification I receive when flying is the green lights blinking RED 3 times. This happens quite often during flight. Would really like to know what exactly it is referring to...

Copy that! I just really wanted to see if I could get it going again without having to contact a dealer. It should really be able to handle a fall of more than 5 feet IMHO. Thanks again!

So, last night I ran the "Advanced IMU Calibration", then drove out to a large field to do a compass calibration. It did tip over once but after that the take-off's have been consistantly good. It drifts around a lot more than it did before and since it was dark I was able to better see the...

Roger, will give it a go tonight. Thank you very much for your help!

I have not done one of these before. Is this an automated calibration or is there instructions somewhere for how to use this?

The other day I had small crash (less than 5 feet in the air) and the phantom vision hit the sidewalk and flipped upside down, broke a propeller blade and somehow the battery slipped out (I snap it in very well every time, I think the 2 clips to hold it in are not enough for a crash). I...

Re: Minnesota - Area Code 952 Meetups & Flyins Nice! I like you landing gear, where did you get the parts to make that?

Re: Minnesota - Area Code 952 Meetups & Flyins Sounds great! Count me in! Thanks

Re: Minnesota - Area Code 952 Meetups & Flyins PhantomDave, Using the DJI Phantom 2 Assistant software, connect your bird using the microUSB that is covered up by the rubber cover on the front part of the body of phantom. From there you will be able to update the birds firmware as well if it...
