Finally made time to make a list of my bad batteries. I have 5, of which my 3 oldest are going into auto land too soon. The other 2 have 8-12 cycles. Battery No.: 1 Cycles: 34 Percent life: 89% Autoland percent: 54% Autoland time: 6-7 minutes Puffing: some Damage: none Serial No.: 2216...

Hi all.. I haven't posted in a long time, but 3-4 months ago, My p2 had serious TBE here in NW Montana.. I've logged hundreds of flights with 5 different batteries. I'm still on v1.08 because I never had issues from day one besides the TBE and J-hook so I'm ok with leaving well enough alone...

+1 :(

Re: WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 7 or greater (G3 or Grea That's what G2-G3 looks like in Montana from last night.. -one of my favorite things in life..

HA! That one came to me this morning with the aid of 3 cups of coffee.. :D I love spinning the wheel!! I'll take the letters LS for $1000, Vannah!

Ha! Thanks Cr8tive_leo.. The Futaba makes life nice! Just waiting for some color to show up in these hills to really start filming.. Funny, but 10 minutes before I broke out my P2 a huge black bear was rolling down the road in the vid.. I wish I'd been able to get airborne before he...

Cody, mine does the same exact thing, but calibrated it that way anyways, and it seems to work fine. Ian, I tried to put my yaw trim on LS instead of LD the other day.. I tried: Linkage<function<4 RUD J4 LD, changed to 4 RUD J4 LS, but then I get nothing but red blinking lights...

Not quite winter, not quite summer in NW montana.. short edit flying around a burn near Glacier NP.. loving the super smooth futaba/ 3h-2d gimbal tilt combo from the lengthy, but oh-so-good Futaba thread.. https://vimeo.com/93076405

Kelly, I think I misunderstood you earlier about servo speed to 26. Sorry. I thought you were referring to the speed of the 3-position SB switch, not the RS lever. Mine was set fast and twitchy to 0. Changed it to 26 and now the switch is smooth too.. Really nice. Now, I've got a 3 pos. switch...

Like others have said before, I'm all for putting some $$ towards a 14sg...- in the interest of "science"..lol. To develop the ultimate Phantom profile.. It's already great.. I just wish I knew what the heck everything does, or can do, and how to tweak it myself.. The manual is too abstract for...

Kelly, I'll give the servo speed a try.. I think I can figure out how to do that. Right now it's reeeally slow and smooth. I'd actually like to speed it up a hair.. I'm not sure what it's set on at the moment. I was thinking it was already on 26 or 27 right now. It's set at whatever Ianwoods...

I got a 14Sg the other day, set it up with Ianwood's profile, tested and flown out to 1600m. It's fantastic. Highly recommended if anyone is on the fence. The smooth gimbal control alone is worth it. I've made a couple program modifications to make it more intuitive for me, but deciphering the...

Nice job everyone. There are some really nice photos showing up on this thread..

I haven't taken many stills with the go pro from the p2 yet, but I'll pull frames out of the video on occasion..definitely not as sharp as 12mp still.

oh and btw, I found this vid on T8fg.. Not sure if it was posted yet, but it's a good one about modifying the return spring and right slider.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpaOrs5Hdl0
