Hi Alien John I know exactly how you feel as I felt the same when I did my first Litchi Mission, but I grabbed the Bull by the horns and just went for it. My first mission was a 14 minute flight that took it away from line of sight and it seemed ages before it returned to the planned end point...

Hi Doc. Just cache the map of the area you will be flying at by opening the Go App at home . Make sure your tablets wifi is on, open up the Go App, tap on the map in the bottom left of the main screen and move the map to the area you will be flying at. Next go to the top right of the screen and...

Couldn't agree more. It's worth every penny/cent. Flew my first mission on Sunday and now I've got the bug. Sent from my GT-I9100 using PhantomPilots mobile app

Hi RidgeKid, you're not kidding on the durability. I took my P3P out for a flight the day before I was due to jet off on holiday. It crashed 70ft up in a Sycamore Tree ( pilot error, it got to Critical Battery and landed itself ). I looked for 4 hours but could not find it, what a bummer. Went...

Thanks SDH. Thats food for thought as somewhere down the line I was thinking of purchasing Autopilot. I have read a lot of good things about Autopilot on this site and others.

So it's always best to set a safe height before ascending up a hill then. I understand it now. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, by the way.

Glad I asked as I was going to try it out on a hill climb and wasn't sure if it would end up flying into the hillside the higher up I went.

Hi all, if you are using the Follow Mode and you came to a hill you wanted to ascend, would the P3P self adjust the height as you were ascending or would it stay at the height you set it to in the app ?. Am I correct in thinking that the Quad calculates the height from the RC constantly ...

Hi all, I am considering purchasing the ITLite dbs mod for my P3P. I live in the UK and as I understand it, the UK version of the ITLite is less powerful than the US version. I am looking to get a little more distance and better penetration when flying past trees etc. Is there anyone in the UK...

First time ever for me that I had no issues updating ALL the firmware. Took the bird out on a test flight of 1 hour and did not have any problems ( that was a first too ). Like the new look GUI too.

Hi, has anyone successfully removed the sd card which acts as the Data Recorder from inside the battery compartment. Mine is faulty and I need to replace it. I understand it is slightly glued into place but can be carefully prized out and a new one (1gb) inserted. Just need details on how to do...

Hi Dave. I would wait and see what fix DJI are gonna do, there's a heck of a lot of people out there having the same issues since this new firmware upgrade and DJI GO APP upgrade. Myself included.

Hi Kev, I'll try to put your mind at rest. Exactly the same thing has happened to me and a lot of other people after installing the latest firmware. Hopefully DJI will sort it out in the next update. It's a real pain in the derriere. At first my P3P wouldn't even connect to my ipad mini 2...

Hi Bob, thanks for the reply. I have tried the way you suggested and am still getting the DATA RECORDER ERROR message. I think I could fly the drone with this problem as everything else seems fine but I really don't want to take the chance.
