    DJI flight training in Houston

    I would really appreciate any help you can give. I’m in the Pearland area. Text or call Dave 281-409-9482. My drone flys fine but I’m waiting on parts for the gimbal. I didn’t have much luck finding a whole gimbal.

    DJI flight training in Houston

    It worked. I feel dumb but at least I got off the ground. Problem is as soon as I took off it just flew off. I panicked and crashed. Now my gimble is jacked up. It says Gimble motor overloaded. Can anything be done?

    Warning Notes

It says "Wi-Fi unavailable Loading satellite map requires more cellular data" . What's that mean? This was...

    Honestly after all the replies I'm wondering if I'm somehow not doing something correctly. I am new so I think I'll look into it more. I have learned a lot from this thread but most all seem to doubt that I TRUELY don't have gps so I'm going to re-try at the same location and take my time.

    So usually I may have to wait to get 3-4 GPS signals but I've never not had at least one. I was trying to check out some land I bought in Moss Bluff , TX , North of Liberty. There are trees but not all that thick. I'll try again to wait longer for signal and see how that goes. Hope to get up...
