    Incorrect Starting Altitude

    Thank you for the replies. I've done the IMU calibration but it still occurs. It flies fine - maybe just "one of those things"

    Incorrect Starting Altitude

    What would cause the altitude to be off? When the Phantom 4 is sitting on the ground it gives an incorrect altitude. Usually saying it's a couple of feet in the air while it's grounded. It flies perfectly fine otherwise

    Do this before you loose it............

    If honest people find your drone, having your information on the drone will help them get it back to you. If dishonest people find it, it doesn't matter whether you mark it or not. Always assume that if you hit someone or something with it, and you don't have your name on it, they can track...

    FAA Lawsuit Question

    I know the court rules that the FAA can no longer require registration, but did they also strike down the accompanying rules like contacting airports?

    Insurance

    My 1st Flight - Lessons Learned

    Purchased my Phantom 4 over the winter and last weekend I was finally able to take it out and get it in the air. The weekend was busy so I really just had enough time to fly it around for about 10 min which was fine because for my first flight I really just wanted to get it airborne, get a...

    Simulator?

    Compared to ordering it from DJI's website, then figuring out how to update the firmware, controller etc the actual flying of it was actually the easiest part. Totally agree with start in a wide open area and practice
