    Almost a flyaway

    I guess i should have mentioned that during the uncontrolled flight away from me, the drone wasnt level, it was at the opposite angle to the one I had it at during the flight . IE if i had it at +15 degrees to combat the wind, it flew away at -15 degrees of tilt,

    Almost a flyaway

    So when someone says Almost a flyaway in the title, would it be fair to expect a report of it almost flying ........ away? It didnt look like a GPS problem, I have been flying quads for close to 5 years, and I know what GPS glitching looks like. The fact that this and the V2 LITE have now...

    Almost a flyaway

    Hi , I have had the phantom 2 for a couple of months, and have put around 15 flights on it, never taking the battery to less than one solid and one blinking light, but the batteries have still puffed a little and are getting hard to remove, anyway thats not the issue, the issue is the...

    Rc glitches

    all switches and gimbals are fine in the GUI, I checked them well before even flying it, I had set up a naza m lite with a turnigy 9x about six months ago that had some problems with the 3 position switch and I had to do some serious tuning on the handset to get it to work , so I knew to make...

    DJI to limit flights over DC and US Boarders

    I think this is a good and also pointless excercise. Its good because it would stop idiots like the CIA pretending people crashed into trees in gardens. And it will stop idiots that dont know what they are doing flying around airports, which is a BIG concern, the local airport was shut for an...

    Rc glitches

    ok , so its an annoying "feature" good to know it isnt failing. thanks, I might try the 1.8 firmware, but the phantom will be used for trianing before people are let loose with bigger quads, so in reality slower is better in the long run, I have the 9443 props, I guess those are the old ones...

    Rc glitches

    I noticed the problem in the third flight, the first was a basic position hold test and some atti flying to make sure the phantom handles as it should , nothing serious, flight two was checking the IOC and homing functions, and making sure that I could interrupt homing with ATTI, all ok, Then...

    Rc glitches

    by 100% I mean 100% stick, 100% throttle down whilst moving shouldn't be a problem for a quad that has controlled descent speed, I obviously wouldnt do that on one that turns off the motors at -100% stick. I will try to fly it again today and better document the problem, but it seems to be...

    Rc glitches

    buckeye, I noticed that the descent rate is limited, it is not that that I refer to, If I am at 100% tilt, then add 100% throttle down, the phantom stops moving forwards briefly, glitches in the air as if to isntantly maintain position, and stops coming down, when one of the sticks is...

    Rc glitches

    Hi guys I have just got a phantom 2, i got it bare without cameras as I have an fpv set and if i want to play around I will put that on it, I have just got it to teach someone how to fly a quadcopter, I have noticed that it appears to have some problems with what look like RC glitches, but...
