Hi
I blew the dust off my P2 with a quick flight over Staigue Fort, an iron age fort in the mountains of Kerry. I had to cut the flight short due to Raven chasing the quad.

Hope to get some long range mountain flights tomorrow, hoping to break the...
That's normally a sign that you just powered down the Phantom without stopping the video by the app first.
If you put the card back in and power up, and the power down it should repair.

Hi
You would think there would be no RF interference but wrong, theres quite a bit.
In very rural areas of Co.Kerry the preferred way to get internet access is by 5.8 Ghz wireless (theres a big antenna on one of the mountains). There are about 400 users of the service in the county and there...
Pretty much the same here. My long distance flights start from the garden which is over 400ft up, and I could fly at a height of 10 feet for 3 miles without hitting anything as most of the land falls away.
I think the answer is to be confident in ATTI mode.

Hi Geert
We have very similar setups, and similar results.
I don't like the idea of using older firmware, as time goes on it will only become less compatible. I am going to stick with the latest firmware version as there seems little benefit of staying with the older firmware. Thanks for doing...
Hi
Pretty chuffed with my first day flying after adding the horizon antennas to the UAV. I went out to 11650 feet or 2.2 miles, and I only installed 1 x 2.4 and 1 x 5.8 antenna on the the UAV.
The flight data and video are here:

Hi
I regularly read in the forums that if you want to fly long range you must use older firmware (1.08). Why is that ?
I do not have any amps, only Horizon FPV antennas, and I just flew out to 2.2 miles with the latest firmware, so I am intrigued, what am I missing.

Hi
Really interesting, a couple of questions:
1. Where will the image processing take place ? On board the UAV, on the ground via a smaller streamed image ? Seems a lot of CPU task to pile onto the Phantom, and on the ground you don't have high res of fast frame rates. I take it the test was...
Hi
This was a flight above Stokes Bay in Gosport, with great views of the Isle of Wight and the Solent.
