    Phantom Rain : Magnetic Interference is the Phantom Killer in disguise:

    Just a couple of thoughts, seeing errors while you are flying is difficult at best but you may be already be using these. I use both GO and Litchi to fly depending upon what I need at the moment, Litchi allows you to record screen so you can go back and see everything that goes across the...

    I have an small uncontrolled airport that a small drag strip beside it, no control tower and as far as I can find out the air space is KGNG We want to take photos of some races at about 40 feet up out about 100 feet Question can I fly? And it is beside the runway and not in flight path about 1/4...

I flew a...

    Range problem p4p

    When I said 21000 feet that is one way but now I cant even get a full mile line of sight before it loses signal and goes to RTH.

I have hundreds of flights and logged 150 plus miles and been flying this drone for almost a year. Now the problem is on the last update last week, before this update stock...

    Disconnect Aircraft Message!!!

    It could be processor speed but I was running a Ipad mini 1 with no programs except what I needed and it worked pretty good, Green screen a few times ( processor speed ). I went to the Ipad 9.7 pro cellular and it seems to handle it well! I don't have the cellular hooked up I have it for the...

    Why use dangerous Litchi app?!?

    I fly litchi as much as I fly DJI go, as long as Litchi is set up right in some cases it works better than DJI go and I have over 65 miles on Litchi and no issues and sorry to say I have had many small issues on DJI go usually after updates which they do that about every week. the point being if...

    Disconnect Aircraft Message!!!

    Just a thought, how dirty was the channel you were on, were you on auto or custom, and were you on 2.4 or 5.8 because 800 feet out and a loss of signal or just telemetry since you had a clear view of the drone sounds like you had a lot of interference Just a thought, how dirty was the channel...

    The Official "My P4 Range Is Too Short" Thread - Don't Start New Range Threads!

    The record and line of sight statement was more of a more of a question than a statement as to what and why just may be worded wrong. I was not accusing anybody of anything. I thought someone would tell me why they fly so far or that line of sight wasn't a set in concrete rule or something...

    The Official "My P4 Range Is Too Short" Thread - Don't Start New Range Threads!

    I am kinda new to the large drone world but I have a p4p and I have only flown it 3600 ft away and had very few glitches and no LOS and I use both litchi and Dji go, I use it for the incredible camera. But am I missing something with most of the people on this thread because it looks like...
