    Hello from UK

    15% critical warning is a bit low, you only have a very short time before autoland starts. I have mine at 30% and this allows me plenty of time to get home. I do not think it is good for the battery to regularly discharge this low. What part of the UK?

    P4 vision sensor problems

    OK this reply is not too helpful, but I had exactly the same problems, did all the things you have tried, re calibrating, roll back firmware etc. Eventually I decided to replace the sensor module, and it all worked OK. There is just a possibility you have a loose connector on the module, if you...

    Major Battery Voltage Deviation

    I get that cell deviation all the time on Air Data, I ignore it, not saying you should though as an autoland is another matter. You should get much more than 40 charge cycles from a battery, maybe the cold weather also caused some problem.

    Coming apart?

    Unusual to just come apart like that, did you crash?

    UK Police are called many things, including the Plod, from plodding around on the beat.

    Gatwick airport closed due drone reported in area

    I agree, I am not a conspiracy theorist, there was no grand plan to divert attention, or coerce introduction of defence technology etc, just false sightings. The issue is now dead in the UK, the media have had their scare stories, and we will hear no more. But the damage has been done. The only...

    London’s Heathrow airport halts departures amid possible drone sighting

    All too easy now to shut down a major airport, just shout "Look a drone", and job done. I dispair , my hobby is being wrecked.

    Phantom2 vision w/o gimcal false...

    Field Effect Transistor? I have no idea how the esc works. I doubt a fault due to firmware. A new esc should be quite cheap, you need to do a bit of soldering, but not hard, it would be my first shot. They do fail quite often.

    Phantom2 vision w/o gimcal false...

    Sounds like a faulty esc, I had one fail on mine. Easy to replace, but last time I did one for a friend, and found it hard to source a new one. The vision 2 is getting old now.

    Gatwick airport closed due drone reported in area

    /www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6524457/Police-continue-quiz-double-glazing-worker-Gatwick-drone.html Police suggest possibly never was a drone after all. Shocking if true.

    Gatwick airport closed due drone reported in area

    Yes indeed. There will be legal firms now chasing various newspapers for libel. I think the Police were under pressure to find someone fast, and they picked up the first person who was reported to them. Ironically he was not even a "Drone" pilot, he flew Helis, OK it is a UAV, but the model...

    Gatwick airport closed due drone reported in area

    Wait and see,as I say, where I live, the police would be all over me like a rash if there was an incident nearby.

    Gatwick airport closed due drone reported in area

    You may want to wait to see if they are the bad guys. Innocent until proved guilty. I honestly believe if there was an incident where I live, then I would have the Plod all over me by now. Locals would say "Oh yeah there is a guy down there always flying around", and they would be all over my...
