Matching app supporting v3.08 has been approved & released in the App Store 2/5. iDrone

Re: STICKY: 1/23 Apps Updated for iOS & Android Both Phantom & Remote are battery-powered, so as long as they're charged/fresh you should have no problems. The firmware upgrades go relatively quickly (under a minute) and optional calibration & checkouts only take a few minutes to do. As for the...

Re: STICKY: v1.0.2.30 FW UG for NEW RC adds PPM Out & Energy This is for the newer controller only. If you have an older Remote Controller with 7th Channel Lever mod - don't upgrade. Details are in the top of the STICKY. iDrone

Re: STICKY: AutoPilot v3.04 Update 5/21: Updated Restriction v3.02 to v3.04 firmware update for AutoPilot released today 5/21. Description updated @top of thread. And no, until you see an update in the App Store or Google Play the infamous Waypoints feature set continues to remain a no-show...

Re: STICKY: AutoPilot v3.02 Update 4/30: Stability+Descent 2 "Stability when carrying heavy payloads improved. Maximum descent speed restricted to 2m/s." It'd be helpful if they defined what they meant by "heavy payloads". For example, does that mean adding more hardware like a Lightbridge? Or...

Yes. She's Moneypenny's second cousin currently stationed in HK. iDrone :o

Absolutely. And my bad, $400 USD is original Vision's camera (I usually hang in the Vision forum but came to see what these alleged fly-away's were all about) but I wonder if it might be less or pretty close... the Vision camera houses sensor, camera drive, microSD, wifi, and antennas all in one...

Like most RC aircraft, almost none of the connectors in the Phantom's are waterproof, water-resistant, nor are they coated with any protectants to render them impervious to the corrosive effects of water with the possible exception of the wifi UFL connectors which are covered with glue to...

Ahh I see you've been systematically deleting your posts while we've been chatting. Ten posts erased? Deleting what might be construed as offensive and/or harassing posts? No worries you can come on here as many times as you like and do it all over again, though why you'd want Google's search...

Peter, start your egg timer and start looking for a new Logon. I suspect you've got less than 24 hours before Adam flushes you out the fuselage with the rest of the waste... just like he's done how many times before? A dozen? iDrone ;)

Well if it isn't Petey Fagerlin still here trolling around here on Phantom Pilots. What's the matter? Kicked off of the bike forums, Mercedes forums, and got no place else to go? And you told me you weren't obsessive. Let the culling begin... Again. iDrone

I won't rant, as there are plenty here who'll gladly oblige you and probably deservedly so. But instead I'll point out what may not be obviously obvious to some, and follow with a few "why's"... Notice the cooling vents in the upper shell in this photo. Consider what happens when flying in...

Geert... Are those... Wait, lemme get Pull_Up in here... LEGO's ??? That's too cool if they are! iDrone :lol:

Geert, did you send Keri that video? It's exactly what he needs. Once he sees & hears it Im sure he'll help you. To me it looks & sounds like the servo loop is feeding back (as in sensor & motion are over-coupled) causing the oscillation. It could be gain/power or something mechanical between...

I would have no problem with this if there was an "OFF" switch and the decision when & when not to use it was left up to me. BTW, did anyone catch the plug at the end of the video: 394' max altitude flight limit when flying w/o GPS iDrone
