    Phantom 2 does not go high

    The limitation near airports is a must.... It's a shame this idiot didn't adhere to them http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30369701

    No GPS mode on SW1

    Yup. Check to make sure the switch itself is doing what it's meant to. Going back 12 months or so on here there were reports to faulty switches.

    Use a Futaba 10CG on a P2?

    As it's a FAAST transmitter you shouldn't need to use a seperate receiver but you'll only have access to the channels that the P2 stock receiver provides. Clearly if you want to utilise those couple of extras you'll need to fit a 10 channel receiver. There are guides for various Futaba tx/rx...

    Upgrade dilema

    You could just use a mounting kit to allow you to put the H3-3D on a standard P2 body http://www.quadcopters.co.uk/zenmuse-h3-3d-mounting-bracket-phantom-2-old-1418-p.asp Just out of interest why are you looking at replacing the Motors, ESCs etc?

    No GPS mode on SW1

    In the Assist software, check to see what the switches are doing. Go to the 'Basic' screen and you should be able to toggle them watching what they are doing. The control mode is the one you are particularly intersted in.

    [13]Potentiometer

    On some versions of the transmitter I believe it is used to change the strength of the output signal.

    Re: Spapped out my P2 Shell Nice work! Cutting mats make the best P2 work surfaces too ;-)

    Nasty crash... please help me get up and running again

    One thing to check that caused me no end of problems (until I discovered it) is take top top off and gently flex the motors and check for any cracks around their mounting screws. it's also just worth removing the GPS from the top and making sure the ceramic antenna surround isn't cracked...

    The 8J is self centering if you remove a single screw from the mechanism. You don't need any additional peices

    how many flights on your phantom 2

    I've had mine 10 months, too many flights to remember. Only one major incident, blade failure at 120m altitude. Luckily it fell into a hawthorn hedge. Body shell was damaged with one motor mount cracked. Early on I replaced the stock Receiver / Transmitter with a Futaba 8J

    Sad Day for P2 Owners

    I'm sure most of our European members have already seen this. Not the most responsible of uses! http://screamer.deadspin.com/havoc-at-serbia-albania-as-match-interrupted-by-flag-ca-1646284088
