Mine went swimming too WV. I got lucky in that while it was bouncing down the cliff face the battery dislodged so the bird went in powered down. Still, it was submerged inverted 15 minutes by the time I could get to it. Several drying methods later, it powered up and flew fine. The only...

Flew out a mile again today, upriver from my house. Got a screenshot this time! Though I'd try posting it.. I'm loving the stability of the lenovo pad compared to my moto droid z.

An update: I just flew the bird out to one mile for the first time, with no glitching, freezing, etc. on the factory antennas. It was exciting and a little scary at the same time but I had plenty of flight battery left when it arrived back. It's the first time I was confident enough to try that...

Thanks MCM, a few of those I have set already but there's some good settings for the GO app too. I pretty much gutted my Voyager pad but it still couldn't handle the video processing.

Tweaks? Do tell!!

I've had my P4 std. a couple years now, but a job and working condition change have limited my flying time over the past year or so. I had originally been using my Moto Z-play with the GO app for control, which did a decent job. There were a few odd issues and glitches but nothing that seemed to...

Hello there Rod! Sorry for the delayed response, I've been somewhat infrequent lately!

Nice! Great view of Mt. Hood flying upstream on the Columbia. Love the view of Willamette Falls! I'm still a bit hesitant to fly over water with mine, given the recent watery near-death experience I had. Getting some more experience with FPV flying before I get back to the water. Thanks for...

Greetings and welcome Blaze! As you have seen, lots of good info and knowledgeable folks here. Happy flying!

I'll be your eyes in Washington if you ever get that courageous! Watch out for that PDX approach! :-)

Happy flying Polar! I didn't have any way to view 4K on a computer (I have a macbook like sandman) but I DO have a 4K smart tv that has a USB input on it. TV detects the files and with just a few remove clicks I'm watching amazing 4K video.

Greetings sandman! I should probably clarify, Portland area, Washougal specifically. Stay dry!

Hello Mods and fellow pilots! I am a radio/communications technician by trade so I'm absolutely fascinated by the technology that the drone industry employs. I went from barely being aware of their existence to (after three weeks of heavy forum surfing!) owning my first, a P4. It wasn't in the...
