    Prom Promise at Local HS

    I was asked to video my EMS service, local PD, and local FD put on this year's Prom Promise at one of our local High Schools. I am still working on the video, but here are few shots from it. Hope you enjoy!

    Replaced my GPS antenna...

    I have done the GPS antenna upgrade and the copper foil mod. I went from getting a max of 8 satellites to now getting 10-11 satellites on a regular basis. Well worth the money. I think both the mods plus shipping I spent $30. Well worth it in my book!!!

    HOW TO: Install copper foil shield (fix low satellite count)

    Re: HOW TO: Install copper foil shield (fix low satellite co I did the foil mod along with a GPD antenna upgrade (Taoglas 4mm from DigiKey) today. Went out to test it, and got 10 satellites in less than 30 seconds. The phantom was ready to fly before I had even connected to the wifi and...

    My Crazy Flight Yesterday

    Thanks a ton for the video. You are right, I can see a lot of my video in this video clip. Thank you for posting the video so I could see exactly what was happening. I will recalibrate my IMU tonight and then recalibrate my compass. Question. If you watched my video, you see I have...

    Just opened my Phantom

    I have the same shielding and I drop satellites. I am doing the foil mod. I have stuff ordered and it is on it's way!

    Interesting LAPD try to explain the law to drone pilot

    People like this give quadcopter pilots a bad name. People that walk around with assault rifles and hope the cops confront them piss me off too.

    My Crazy Flight Yesterday

    I just checked all my settings. They are all within the normal values. The software stated not to calibrate if the values are within the correct range. Other than recalibrating the compass before my next flight, I don't see where my settings need to be changed.

    My Crazy Flight Yesterday

    What are the signs of TBE and loss of horizon? Not being a smart a** or questioning your knowledge, I just don't have clue at what you are taking about. I'm still new to the game. Do you think update could have caused it? It has not flown right since I updated. I am still going to do the...

    Gps lost during flight and while landing

    Anyone use the upgraded GPS antenna? If so, how much did it help? I am scared to death of dropping satellites again during a flight and almost losing my P2V+.

    Just confirmed I have ESC 2.1, here's my Serial Number

    i have a P2V+ v2.0. Just opened the top and my ESCs have no version number on them (but they do have a blue mark on them). Serial number is PH645384988. I bought mine around 12/14-12/16/14 at a Amazon Discount Store that is local. I do not have 4 beeps after the initial start up beeps...

    My Crazy Flight Yesterday

    I got my P2V+ the 1st of Dec. I do not think it is the V3. I have not taken the top off yet, but I will check the plug when I do. I want to do the foil mod regardless. I don't feel safe flying my P2V+ right now and I hate that.

    My Crazy Flight Yesterday

    Just ordered the supplies need for the foil mod from amazon. They will be here next week. I won't be flying until I get this done. I think the new firmware is the main problem for dropping satellites. Hopefully the foil mod will work for me too!
