Thanks for the heads up. Seems to me it wasn't that long ago there was a sudden surge of flyways in the wake of a previous upgrade. I was under the impression (from reading the Chinglish translation of the H3-3D instructions) that v3.02 was a perquisite for flying with the new gimbal. My...

Please keep us posted on how the H3-3D performs with the Polar Pro. I was hesitant to use a Polar Pro on my H3-2D because it is so heavy. However, I did add the lightweight GoPro Lens Protector to both my cameras and counter balanced the H3-2D gimbals with a US Quarter. Both gimbals died in...

Sorry about your crash. That's a beautiful neighborhood in your pre-cash footage. Looks as if someone narrowly missed getting bonked when your motors stopped. I had a P2 (H3-2D) fall out of the sky and pancake onto a boulder a couple of weeks ago while flying in Arizona. Happened in the blink...

Hi Kelly: Soldered an XT60 connector onto the Lilliput so I can power it with my P1 2600mah 3Cell LIPOs. The Lilliput (664w, same as yours) is mounted on the Futaba using an aluminum Seacraft TX Tray and FPV Stand (http://aerobertics.be/productDetail.php ... 0&brand=41. You can buy these in...

Ian: I noticed very little drift or hooking (in either direction) on my P2s during this last cross country trip. But the zinger is that after 40+ broken P2 props, in mid-March I switched exclusively to 8.5" DJI props. Later, I discovered I had been mixing the 10" XOXO knock-offs with actual 10"...

Re: T8FG Batteries For what it's worth, I use a pair of 2600mah 2 cell LIPOs to which I soldered Futaba connectors. Fully charged they read 8.4v on a Venom charger, but only about 8.1v under load in the T8FG. I recharge them when they drop to 7.3v -- which provides at least two hours flying...

Hi Ian: I landed with the Rate switch still engaged (through my own carelessness) and tried to shut down using the CSC gesture. Within a couple of seconds, the P2 took off straight up. I'm guessing some combination of events that include the Rate switch and the CSC gesture invoked failsafe...

A poor man's Wookong "Point of Interest" setting. That would be AMAZING!

Hi Guys: I've been flying two P2s and a P1 with stock DJI RX and a Futaba 8FG using Ian Wood's V4 Profile for a couple of months now. There's a potential "gotcha" relating to the "RATE" switch you want to avoid: DON'T LAND THE P2 WITH THE RATE SWITCH ENABLED. If you inadvertently land in GPS...

I have the 8FG. I also removed the throttle rachet and added the self centering kit. I suggest you go to the thread mentioned by several people already: http://phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=8358 and download Ian Wood's P2 Profile (now in V4, I believe) and follow the directions on how...

Same problems -- twitches, pitches, rolls and crashes galore. Solved 90% by switching to DJI 8045 P1 Airplane-style props. Check out this thread: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=8820&p=95189&hilit=authentic+replacement#p95189 Be sure you aren't using the OXOX-X counterfeit P2 props. Even if you aren't...

See this: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=8820 It solved 90 % of my stability problems.

I've been battling instability on my Phantom 2 for two months now -- and certainly the 0x0x-0 "Authentic Replacement" props are a big factor! While I await some real DJI 9443 props from B&H, I tried an experiment this morning. I fitted the Phantom 2 with a set of DJI 8045 airplane style props...

... and prevent 100 percent of all flyways. Seriously, though, could have used that ability to fly in 40MPH winds today. It was a steady 30+MPH with gusts into the 50s.

As others report above, I can install Assistant 2.0, but there's no new firmware links. When the FC is powered up, all the Tabs except Upgrade are grayed out. Turn the P2 off, however, and the Tabs become accessible, with some curious changes. The most peculiar is that the Control-Switch Modes...
