Re: Pleading for help from local pilots (Central Massachuset Absolutely recalibrating everything once I'm confident it's otherwise undamaged. I'm going to be tearing it down completely and internally inspecting before applying any power. I had a set of trees being higher than it's RTH path. It...

Re: Pleading for help from local pilots (Central Massachuset P2V+ has been recovered by an on-foot civillian. Seems to be in good condition with just one broken prop. Not bad for a 92' fall. The trees helped cushion the fall.

Fellow worcester-ite here! I've been thinking about putting together a list of places outside of the City. There sure isn't much "open-ness" in the city, but I fly wherever is safe to do so. I plan on doing something over Kelley Sq before it gets too dark, too early!

Ok, who was flying at Hampton Beach yesterday (Sunday, 9/7/14). Hard to see if it was a P1 or P2, but appeared to have a FPV system. I was also flying my P2V+ but never had it up at the same time as the other Phantom. Pix and video to follow.

Thanks for the verification. It was just for testing purposes and was not running them at any throttle for an extended period of time. Going out for a test flight later on!

I just upgraded to 3.06 and wanted to test things before flight. The props have been removed, P2V+ powered up and locked in with 7-8 sats. I engage the motors and when I up on the left-stick, the motors just wind up to full and hold there when stick is released, until I hold left-stick down. Yaw...

I just received my TK-102 kit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FY ... UTF8&psc=1) and am having some issues. It appears to be a true TK-102 (photo comparison with the fakes), however it's not in a white box, as shown in the amazon pic. It's a blue box with no model numbers listed. For...

I completely understand the logic of the +60', and can appreciate that! :) I always fly line-of-sight and rarely RTH. When I do, it's to demonstrate the fact that it comes home. I've always wanted to "test" this theory that was introduced to me (albeit, by a P1 owner and crasher), however I...

I was under the impression (throughout the last couple of days) that, when in RTH mode, the P2 ascends to the highest elevation during it's flight. For instance: If I start flight at 50', go up to 100', drop down to 10', go up to 75', and activate RTH, it will rise to 100' (step #2, it's...

I had the same issue (extended delivery time, Sept 1?!) when I ordered mine the other day. You just need to select a different seller. I cancelled the transaction with Newerstone and ordered from Vegaswind. No price difference.

Excellent. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

That Amazon unit looks like the TK trackers, no? Who is the $10/3-month plan through? AT&T? H2O?

Re: Pleading for help from local pilots (Central Massachuset Anyone at all?

Is there anyone in the Central MA area with a FPV system? I either had a flyaway or for some reason, an unwanted descend, and have lost my P2V+. I have an idea as to where it may be (assuming it wasn't a flyaway), but need to somewhat retrace my path, aerially and with live video. I'm in...
