It would be interesting to see what you can do stock and then as mentioned go with the EvoLite Plus from maxxuav.com. With the amps and antenna, I go as far as the battery will take me

The last .5 inch or so needs to be manually pulled up by hand so after the button move the holder to the widest part, you manually have to pull it to the widest all standard IPads will fit

There's a certain thrill about plotting a mission in Google maps which is outside of the range of the remote and having it execute and return. Especially if there are areas which have a lot of interference which causes your remote distance to be limited. For example, I have it fly to the sides...

Litchi can reset the home point to the operators current location on. IOS as we.

With both amps working and no trees/interference, the battery was the limitation. I went out as far as 4.5 miles but did not have enough to make it back Landed about 1.25 miles short. Took a while to find but found it with no damage. In my local vicinity which has lots of trees, I get out...

I was not aware that Litchi supported changes in elevation from the home point. Where do you set that?

And... Litchi allows autonomous flight which GO does not as well as offline waypoints.

Not sure what all the concern is about. Every year or so new models of tech come out that doesn't make the previous years model obsolete. I bought my LG Oled for $5k right before they release the next years model and dropped the price but, I wanted it when I bought it and it will be fine for...

Not sure you need it. I was flying when the Go app warned RTH was kicking in because, the remaining battery was needed to return home. I was feeling adventuresome and cancelled the RTH. Was going for a new distance record of a little over 4 miles. When I finally turned around and started heading...

I originally bought the iPad 4 mini when I bought the P4. It worked well but returned it for the iPad Pro standard size which has a little more compute power. No regrets Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

All the time. I have found I lose VLOS within the first 1/4 mile (maybe I have bad eyesight). When I fly in rural areas, the trees block visibility very quickly but, I enjoy going out much further, e.g., 2-5 miles typically. That's what FPV gives you. Sometimes wonder if the VLOS suggestion was...

When you're really ready, get Litchi and send it on a mission where it leaves radio control for 15 minutes. The adrenaline really gets going then [emoji1] Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Knew it had to be something like that. Was getting worried [emoji1] Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Sounds like 1 bad amp. I'm sure Jake will be in touch. He is usually very responsive.

I would expect Jake has gotten back to you by now and all is resolved but if not... The amp which is not showing blue when the remote is powered sounds like the problem.
