    So you are saying you could look around and get a F550 with naza v2 for $400? Links please!

    Futaba T8J on Phantom HELP

    Yes I am going to open the Phantom up when the Futaba arrives and didn't want to open and find I was missing a cable - then need to order one and wait a week.... On your question about setting up failsafe on a switch vs setting it up by just turning off the radio - my understanding from doing...

    Hello Fello Phantom Owners

    Yeah hook it up to your computer and run the advanced calibration before you fly it. Enable IOC in the software. Also do the compass calibration at the field you fly at. Learn the home lock mode its a must with line of sight flying.

    Futaba T8J on Phantom HELP

    I ordered a T8J and need to know if the Phantom is connected to the stock receiver with the SBus cable? Just need to know so I can order a cable if there isn't one inside the Phantom already. Thanks

    Skylark Tiny OSD III and 5 volts

    I really like the Tiny OSD on the phantom. The amount of info it gives is awesome. The voltage sensor is annoying sometimes but besides that I love it. Make sure to upgrade to the newest firmware and turn the summary info on.

    Realistic flight time

    I have a Tarot gimble,FPV, and GoPro on my Phantom. I get about 5-7 minutes before my OSD reads 11.5 volts and I bring her down. I think for me watching the voltage on the OSD has helped get to know when it just dips to 11.5 briefly or if the battery is really low. I think from the first time...
