Use NAZA mode as soon as you are comfortable with flying. Here are the two modes of operation that can save you if you get into trouble. Coarse Lock and Home Lock. I fly strictly FPV with goggles, no spotter and at times, no line of sight. If I lose the FPV, get confused, or want to fly directly...

When the percent of life gets to 90%, I don't use them any more for risky flights, such as over water. They will start to "soft fail", that is they start to Auto Land at about 60 percent of charge.

I have seen a couple problems with P2 batteries. 1. There is a "soft" failure with battery life. Some of my batteries exhibit this at only 37 charges, others at 100 charges. What happens is that the battery depletes rapidly at about 60% charge and starts to Auto-land. To check this, hold the...

I am not sure by what you mean, faking the sky? I use some darkening of the blues by applying control points on the blue and darkening. Editor is Nikon Capture NX2.

The area that I live in and fly does not have cell coverage. In that case, I guess it will not work for me.

No, don't use it again for critical flights, over water or anyplace where you can't retrieve it. If the life is less than 90%, the phantom may try to auto-land when you least expect it to.

As I said before, less than 90% battery life, charge amount is a different thing (I try not to fly mine with less than 40%).

Anything less than 90% can cause auto land when least expected. Hold the battery button for until it blinks, then if one LED is blinking, time to replace battery. There is a youtube video about this.

Has anyone had experience with the $99 batteries from Amazon? My first two, not from amazon ($129), lasted about 97 flights until they exhibited Auto Land at about 80%. The first $99 battery is at 90% life after only 30 flights. Bought a second discount battery but have not flown it much. Has...

Maybe they are not totally inserted to begin with. Usually, if they are loose, the camera will not be level. Never had one come out on its own except when crashing the thing.

Is the controller on?

I have had over 200 flights and I still get nervous. But, much less so than in the beginning. It is a good thing to have a checklist procedure when prepping for flight. These things will fail, be prepared to repair in the future. I have an extra gimbal and camera when it does happen, hopefully...

How did you get The Garden of the Gods? Any trouble flying over the park?
