My Phantom 3 Advanced went AWOL a while back (last seen heading for Wales), so I have some bits and bobs I'd like to sell: B&W Type 6000 case - bottom a bit scuffed but brand new condition inside. Set of Summitlink prop guards - bracket of one very slightly damaged. Set of Polarpro filters...

I have a set of 3 Polarpro filters plus case and box, only used a few times. Filters are ND4, ND8 and Polariser. I live in the UK. I got them for a Phantom 3 Advanced, so not sure if they fit a P4. I've never sold anything on this site before, so you'll have to tell me how to go about it if...

The reason I hate kids being near is because it makes me feel really nervous, because a Phantom 3 is a REALLY dangerous thing. Usual scenario is that there's no-one around when I launch it, but then, when it''s in the air, kids appear, start asking questions, and I then have the problem of...

I'm in the UK and I fly my missions over countryside, where almost all the trees are deciduous, not conifers, so I'm guessing the maximum height is around 60 or 70 feet, and I do terrain following, with Litchi. Up until now, all my missions have been at 250 feet, plus or minus what the terrain...

There was an article the the UK's free newspaper, Metro, the other day about how complaints about 'drones' (I hate that word) had increased. It ended with a quote from a professor at Birmingham University who talked about burglars using drones 'to see if windows were open at a property, or to...

Whoa! They really ARE getting tough!

Hi, OP again. I should have added that I was using Litchi at the time. When you use the Go app, a voice says "your home point has been updated - please check it on the map". I always do when I hear that message, but as I say, I was using Litchi this time. I have to say, I'm one of these people...

I try to check my home point before takeoff every time but sometimes I forget. I forgot the other day and the result was pretty scary. I'd got into a situation where I wasn't confident to bring the a/c back manually, so I decided on RTH, but before I did, I checked the home point. It turned out...

As I understand it, with HL, pulling the right-hand stick back will always bring the bird straight towards wherever you are standing, so you can bring it back to you from wherever it happens to be just by pulling back on the stick. With CL, the direction you send it will always be with respect...

Does anyone know if there's a way of putting a vertical ascent or descent into a Litchi waypoint mission?

I do a lot of waypoint flights with Litchi, and because I live in a hilly area, I'm always worried about altitude. Before putting down the waypoints, I always open an app called My Elevation and check the height of various points on the route I want to take, then add these to the 250ft altitude...
