Hello kennedye, quick question for you. I'm on 1.6 and had the same question as the OP. I am happy with this firmware but wanted to know if I should update the batteries without the Ac or Rc? Is that possible or would it cause an issue? I would like to keep 1.6 but now that it's getting colder...

How did the conversation go? I would absolutely be up for getting together as I don't know anyone with one in the area. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Yeah, but I'm not sure how to "notify" them if they say "no" when I do. I do fly but keep it in line of site and keep it under 150 feet. Kind of boring but better than not flying. I was really trying to do the right thing by calling but wasn't expecting that. The guy was really nice and I...

I live 4.37 miles from Spirit and I called them and they gave me the hard "No" as to flying anytime inside of 5 miles from them unless it's after 11pm and before 6am. They also told me to use the B4U Fly app. I thought I just had to notify them but they said differently. Sent from my...

Funny you say this. I can't agree more. Finally, after all this, I put the three batteries I have through it again and everything seemed perfectly fine. I charged them all again and eventually used a batter to do a 1.5 mi out and back. So awesome. I'm just going to do everything I can to take...

I will have to try again and see if something messed up. I agree it looked more like something is "wrong" than "limited". I did charge it up and ran it down to 50% (two more times) and the battery looked perfectly fine in the DJI app. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Thanks Trackman, I did that, I actually went to great efforts to make sure the bird was as level as I could get it and did a new IMU calibration. I then calibrated the gimbal (the horizon was TERRIBLE yesterday) and kept it low the first flight. Everything was completely normal, then put two...

Good point. I will calibrate the IMU again. When you say "check the motors by hand", what are you looking for exactly? I looked over the whole bird really closely and never saw anything. All four motors move the same and visibly look fine. Anything else I can check on? Yeah, I do have three...

Yeah, I try to be careful and not fly aggressively and for sure I wasn't when this happened, but I'm still confused. I saw that as well and don't know. I did an IMU calibration prior to flying and I calibrated my compass due to some interference. Did you notice that battery in the...

Hi all, Had my three week old P3P out today in some open rural country and decided to try and actually fly it out a ways further than I have been. I made it out to the mile point and only had a couple of moments of low signal. I got back to almost to my landing spot and had been testing RTH a...

Just updated the RC through the app on Sunday and did the quad and three batteries last night with no issues. It was my first time and I thought it would be more trouble (I know it can be and expected it). Sorry to hear you're having issues. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

Hey all, I'm in the Wildwood area and am also looking for people to get together with and fly. I have a P3P with only a couple of flights and always looking for new places to fly. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

2nd2non, wow. That footage was amazing. When I think of what I would like to do with mine in STL, you did it all. However, to your point, doing some of those shots these days (over the arch, seriously?! So awesome!) it would be a quick trip to a place I wouldn't want to go I think. Ha. Anyway...

Hey Ohno, I'm actually still kind of exploring places. I plan to go to Creve Coeur lake but will likely start at the RC field at 141 and 44. I also plan to fly out of my back yard some as I live in the far west suburbs. I bet you have some great places to fly near Rolla?

Was on the fence about a polarizer, no longer, nice comparison! I will be getting one. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app
