    Remote Control GL300F setted (wrongly) to Insipire 2

    I'm missing something here. If you're operating a P4P, why aren't you using the DJI Go4 app? Doesn't the Go app make you switch to the Go4 app.....or maybe it doesn't if you haven't downloaded it. Like KO said, the GL300F will definitely control a P4P once the Go4 app settings specify that...

    Maintenance Question for Gulf Coast Pilots

    DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE: Helluva comeback.....exactly what I was hoping for. Can you fill in the blank and tell us which CRC product you use? I’m familiar with Caig’s DeoxIT D5 series, CRC’s QD, and CG’s De-Ox-Id, none of which convinces me they’re intended to protect electronics from the corrosive...

    Maintenance Question for Gulf Coast Pilots

    As much as I like to use WD40 (Men’s Cologne) around the shop, I hesitate to use it around electronics. It has a tendency to retain dust and particulates on surface areas. Perhaps flushing it off with 100% IPA would solve that problem, but that starts sounding like an irrigation project in a...

    Beutiful drone video for nature/beaches

    I believe Tony111 intent was to produce a video best viewed while drifting away into the Land of Nod. There’s all kinds of videos like this on YouTube - this is the first one I’ve seen using a drone for imagery. He got a bullseye. Nice work, Tony111!

    Maintenance Question for Gulf Coast Pilots

    Anybody who has spent time along the Gulf coast during the summer knows very well how hot and humid the air is. And sooner or later they figure out the air carries salt. Just go out late in the evening or early in the morning when the dew has set and check how salty the water is on your car -...

    Debrief: P4A Lower Shell Replacement

    Landing gear service port cover removal and replacement requires the legs to be bent (you think they’re gonna break) away from the drone far enough so that the pin in the cover can clear it’s landing gear socket. Sometimes it’s scary and brutal. Cursing helps. You can do it!

    P4A Shell Replacement - Landing Gear Questions

    Congrats! Some of these repairs have minute details that are not obvious and can be quite confounding. Your experience with this connector was just like mine. Now we know there’s a specific way the plug must be inserted into the compass and it took a $35 goof-up to learn that lesson...

    Hi guys Dji phantom 4 gimble yaw motor

    As long as the drone itself is airworthy, replacement with a fully functional gimbal assembly and camera will be successful, whether the damage was due to a crash or a cursed FW update.
