    Looking for cable

    Thanks for the welcome. Today I decided to just solder the wires instead of tracking down the connector. Seems to have worked just fine. I must say, so far, this is the most helpful forum I've been on. Good people.

    Almost Crashed my Phantom 2 V2 Transmitter (issue?)

    I thought I was reading about me. Same exact situation a few days ago. I'm relatively new, flying a P2 with GoPro, maybe a dozen flights with no issues, until just like bho described, I was descending with full stick back. Suddenly it started descending faster and all controls failed to...
