    first crash already :-(

    Found the problem. Even though I double checked everything and calibrated the tx twice. I failed to notice that the aileron and elevator was on the wrong channels. I have noticed that the naza v2 takes alot longer to find satellites than my phantom.

    first crash already :-(

    Why shoot at 60 fps?

    You can take stills and film at 60fps but IIRC you have to film at 720p

    What do you think about this carry case?

    Power off free fall?

    I kind of treat my flying like my scuba diving. I fly the long high bits first then bring it in closer to finish off the battery.

    Blanket or no blanket that is the question ?

    I think I've got it. Large hat (mexican) Neck brace thingy that they use for harmonica ( use this for monitor) Cloth to go round the hat sort of like a bee keepers

    Cringe worthy newbie story

    When I got mine it came with a devo 10 controller and no instructions on what switch done what. I spent days trying to figure it out before I hooked it up to the pc and watched what happened on the screen when i flicked the switches. This however caused another problem as it meant that I had...
