The IMU should be able to dead reckon for a small period of time without satellite contact, but AFAIK the software tends to kick straight into ATTI mode anyway. Be aware of the air movement before, under and after the bridge and be prepared to counter its movement and you should be fine.

Sounds to me like the rule has kept people safe.

Terminal velocity for a P4 is around 70-80 kilometres per hour, would you be happy about that colliding with the top of your skull? Or the skull belonging to someone in your family? FAA doesn't think so, so the rule is don't fly above people, or fly in such a manner where a motor failure could...

I'm sorry I can't be of more help :\ I do know though that there is an option in the GO App to show the individual cell voltage on the home screen, hopefully this will allow you to keep an eye on it in future. I'm not sure if it displays the lowest cell or an average though, I think it's the...

Where did that chart come from? "50% battery" is not 2.5V, 2.5V for a battery cell is dead battery territory. GO App / the aircraft itself is grossly misreporting or completely ignoring cell voltage for some reason. That cliff you see after 3.5 is exactly what LiPos do, the app should be...

Balancing props is a common task in the racing crowd, even flying at more docile speeds a bad prop is still a major issue. Even with the rubber mounting on the flight board, with a bad prop you're asking the IMU to give you an accurate attitude reading when this is happening to it...

If those cracks get all the way around that lower arm the motor will have no mechanical support and will put serious strain on the top shell. The frame NEEDS to have top and bottom pieces properly clipped together otherwise it is extremely flimsy, and I wouldn't be trusting epoxy to hold it...

Kinda looks like she came off second best fighting with the RTH autoland? Taking off with 28% battery is not a clever idea. It's complaining about maximum battery discharge near the end, at that point it's going to try to get home or land no matter what. Usually this happens under 15-10%, unless...

Compass error could suggest there's something wrong with the ESCs, or the DJI tech was lazy and didn't twist the motor wires tight enough before soldering them to the ESC boards. In this instance high current loads in the ESCs / field wires can spew EMF all through the bird, usually affecting...

If you don't care about the data collection, then look at it from another angle. The more 'social media' / flight syncing crap they jammed into Go 3, the worse it performed, and with Go 4 the situation has not improved. Go is an app you're trusting your $2,000 - $15,000+ investment with. It does...

Sounds like they're all wound exactly the same then, perhaps only the propeller mounting plates on top are different?

Using an older apk shouldn't cause problems by itself, just make sure you completely uninstall the new apk before you install the old one, don't try and install the old one over the top of the new one.

I hold mine here; I fear slipping if I hold it around the body:

Have a good look at the ribbon cable running between the 3-in-1 board and the flight controller. I don't think the aircraft flies without that cable, but I could be wrong... Make sure it's connected properly and not loose, corroded or damaged in any way....

So the new landing gear came without spare cables at all?
