    Reasonable press coming out of Canada

    IF I had to choose between being grounded - or confined to flying in very restricted air spaces - and being licensed but given more freedom over where to fly, I'd chose being licensed. Obviously, my preference would always be to fly whenever and wherever I wish and answer to no one. That...

    Flying problem......

    The Naza controller module is held in place by a spongy double tape substrate. If you carefully insert a thin flat screwdriver under the module, you can gently pry it around the perimeter and you'll be able to get it loose. Make sure all your wiring has been detached first, and take photos so...

    Lens Flare anyone?

    You can often correct lens flare in post, using Lightroom or Photoshop. I have not experienced it when shooting towards the sun, and sometime I find lens flare adds drama. I have added it in post in this shot of down town Toronto...

    FPV Zeiss goggles! Anyone try them?

    Weekend worries

    Great footage, confirms the old saying that "if you want your photography to be more interesting, look for more interesting things to photograph!"... This made for a great subject for aerial photography, very nice!

    Aircraft in GPS mode is "twitchy"

    Mission accomplished! This morning I decided to follow Phixer's suggestion and transplant the GPS unit from the old crashed Phantom to the new "twitchy" one. Unfortunately, the old GPS seemed to have a cracked aluminum surface for what I believe is the receiver antenna, whereas the new GPS...

    Aircraft in GPS mode is "twitchy"

    Let us know how you make out with your new one... nothing more irritating than this kind of unexplained hit and miss... I'm putting my hopes in the new 3.05 firmware to correct the compass declination issues, hopefully that will help cure these kinds of symptoms
