Same dang thing happened to me! I was trying some inverted flight maneuvers with my first drone and lost track of my altitude. Guess ya might say it was caused by "a loose nut exerting random pressure on the sticks". Did manage to get the bird inverted but only after the 2nd bounce on my tile...

That's good advice for some folks but, for me, one of the really fun accomplishments in my senior years was fixing a crashed drone myself and seeing that formerly dead bird take to the skies again. YouTube vids were a big help but it's not rocket science. You're not having to build motors from...

Excuse my ignorance but what is the FAA Trust exam and what's the purpose? If there's a concern about flying near a restricted airspace, why can't an update be created that just restricts your altitude instead of not allowing any flight period? If I'm, say, a mile or more from an airport, and...

Hello DroneZilla. I, too, have been an RC enthusiast since 1987 and now exclusively fly my P4P v2. I doubt you'll ever come across a drone issue that these Phantom Pilot wizards can't help you tackle quickly and correctly. And I'll bet your years of RC experience will contribute greatly to...

That's fascinating. The signal range on my P4P v2 is about 4 miles. Going "way out beyond" that would make for a 12 or 16 mile round trip flight, or more. Do you have any trouble on long distance missions with having enough battery power to complete those really long flights?

Hey, my friend, thanks for the quick response. Just so I'm totally clear, I can turn my controller off and my iPad will still show the progress of my drone following Litchi's waypoints? Did I understand correctly?

Dang. All this time I thought electrical interference brought my bird down last year. I can still look up and see the marks my props made in the electric cable. Musta just been a freak wind gust....lol

I did about 6 months ago and I love it on my P4Pv2.0. I do have one question I hope other users can advise before I try this: It's winter and it's cold and standing out in the open with my teeth chattering while flying my drone is no fun. Question I have is can my P4P be flown while sitting...
