There is nothing which government cannot screw up. This will be no different.

Yeah Peter, this horse has been flogged enough for now. We will just have to agree to disagree and wait until we see what happens.

That is the building with the return address on my shipping lable. Google Earth is cool. However the google photo is a year or so old so no signage on the front at that time. Then again who really knows because it's always someone else's fault.

just curious, when you received the Phantom .... was the box sealed with a round disc piece of clear tape? (factory seal)

I was just getting ready to update my firmware when I saw this. Think I'll wait a day or two I'm in no rush. FWIW my gimbal works out of the box as does everything else ........... so far. This I'll just calibrate the compass and just go fly it close in for a bit.

NP ... I have the Skyzone goggles also so when I have time over the holidays I will be looking into what I feel would be best tx and setup. I have some links somewhere to tx I was going to use and also the clover leaf antennas. you know the Skyzone's come with their own diversity receiver...
