    Black Pearl Battery Recall

    I mailed my reseller (in France) this morning about this recall, and got a reply. The recall notice has been sent to resellers and the video was only for their own use. Then, then advise customers NOT to try to do what is shown in the video. Resellers will do it. They will know next week from...

    Using Flytrex Core with Dashware - Tutorial

    Thanks for the update. I can see you added new calculators (Pressure - kPa and PSI). Nice! I also added a Temperature Converter from Farenheit to Celcius to your file (with a new column mapping). In fact concerning my issue, I echanged a few mails with Amit Regev (from Flytrex) and the bug has...

    6km, 3.8miles, long distance flight

    Good question! In fact I edited the Flytrex csv file: - imported it in a mysql database (on my server) --> new table created - created a new column "battery" in that table - ran a few queries to add the battery datas (which I got from my DVR) - stripped the table to keep only the necessary lines...

    6km, 3.8miles, long distance flight

    As you can see, the Phantom just fell and lost about 15m. It happened when I started turning (may be loosing RC link). I know that Failsafe didn't kicked in and you can see small and quick moves (it's me trying to regain control). I guess the zenmuse got disconnected for a few second and that...

    6km, 3.8miles, long distance flight

    It is far from 2trickpony's record (6km) but here is my flight over the sea: 4200 m with Black Pearl and ImmersionRC 600. Interesting part starting around 1'30"... Since then, I didn't want to go farther than 2km at the same location. https://vimeo.com/92315701 Also my first video with...

    Using Flytrex Core with Dashware - Tutorial

    Can anyone tell me the column name in the flytrex csv file that is between time(millisecond) and datetime(utc) ? (the one with 0 only) On my csv files, the columns listed after time(millisecond) are no populated correctly... and the last column gets no name (with temperature(F) datas). So I am...

    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    This is correct. First page of this topic, I wrote that I got more than 3km with Black Pearl and ImmersionRC 600. Lately I even got 4,2 km. Just use good antennas and fly over the sea :D And at almost every flight more than 2km easily. But I may try an immersionRC Duo receiver soon to see the...

    6km, 3.8miles, long distance flight

    How do you power on your lmmersionrc Duo? from your Black Pearl DC Out? And did you see a big difference from using only your Black pearl Diversity system? At 4km I get a good image from my Black Pearl.

    6km, 3.8miles, long distance flight

    Very nice! and very safe landing. You even tilted the zenmuse to check the sand before landing 8-) Did you use Dashware? I have been trying to use it all day on Linux Ubuntu (with windows 7 in virtualbox) with no luck. You are right about long distance over water. It was my last try... I am...

    6km, 3.8miles, long distance flight

    Very impressive! I'll try that too when I find a good location. Yesterday i made 4207m all over the sea... I thought it would never come back. it landed on the beach with 15% left.

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    To prevent accidental Failsafe with SF, why not add a new condition like this: SF only --> nothing SE only --> nothing SE and SF both pulled --> Failsafe

    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    Do you mean that you can't input bigger values? If so, I will wait before upgrading.
