    UK - where can you fly

    I was at a Historic Scotland site yesterday which is basically a castle in the middle of a field. I was getting my aircraft setup to fly and a lady from historic scotland came over and asked me if I had permission from their head office. I didn't so had to put it away. Just wondering if they...

    Litchi orbit

    Shouldn't litchi just take care of all that though? Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Litchi orbit

    Yeah, put a poi right in the middle of it with an altitude of 5m I think. Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Getting altitude on Google maps or similar

    I'm just planning some missions with litchi and wanted to check the terrain altitude / elevation at some of the points. Just wondering if anyone knows if you can do this on Google maps or if not is there any other app for Android that you can do it on. I'm not talking about actually going to...

    Litchi - suggestions for future updates

    Good point, I'm using android so my thoughts relate to that. I'll try and edit the title.

    Litchi - suggestions for future updates

    Just looking to put down things that people would like to see added to the android version of litchi and hopefully the developers will follow the tread and add some of the things over time. At the moment the only thing I can really think of is the ability to download the video and pictures...

    Litchi orbit

    I'm finding that when I use litchi orbit it's not keeping the item in the centre very well, it tends to drift about a bit and it's like the yaw of the bird isn't really being handled very well. See this video here to see what I'm talking about. Any thoughts on how I can improve this?

    Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

    That would be great. Did you do one for main power boost? I must have missed it if so. I wonder if it's worth getting the guy that put the first post up to edit that post and put the guides there so that we have one place that we can point people to the latest version of a guide that helps...

    Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

    Is there a clear definitive guide on how to do this mod? Maybe a video or something? It might be best broken down into 2 sections. 1. How to up the power. 2. How to set it to use channel 13

    Phantom 3 Standard Range issues

    I've struggled to get tracking working. What did you track and what phone / tablet were you using?

    Phantom 3 Standard Range issues

    1. I stick with auto, I'm not convinced it changes the channel but I've not played much with that. 2. Don't think so but again haven't played much. Let me know if you find out if you can do that.

    Video editing software

    I use powerdirector 14 for video editing but it runs really slowly with the footage I get from my P3S. I'm used to using 1080p from an SJCAM SJ4000 and it runs ok in that but I wonder if the extra resolution in the 2.7K video from the P3S is too much for it. To be fair I have a pretty old...

    Phantom 3 Standard Range issues

    The waypoints on their own are worth the £20 I reckon. You've spent hundreds on a drone, add £20 to make it significantly better. It's just easier to use to do the stuff you want to do. Flying a mission first and setting up waypoints that way...! Forget it! I understand the rationale but if...

    Phantom 3 Standard Range issues

    It really is an amazing piece of kit. I built a F550 hexacopter with a pixhawk flight controller last year and flying the phantom is like flying a toy compared to that, and I mean that in a good way, it's so easy! That's not to say that pixhawk is a bad system, it's very good but the phantom...
