Never go aftermarket if you value your aircraft. It is just too risky for the reason @Capt KO mentioned above.

Good to hear! The weather has been a bit uncooperative lately with nothing but dark skies for me.

If I remember from a few years ago when I was in the same spot, I think you can just load the 509 bin file directly using the same program you used to downgrade. After all, you're just loading a binary file and it doesn't matter if it is newer or older-the principle remains the same. Its been...

They can go by air but may be restricted to cargo only aircraft

Sounds like thermal damage has been done. Your clue is that the fan runs inconsistently and you have error messages regarding processor chip overheating. Unless you want to start replacing chips on the board, you'll need to replace the board outright. Personally, I would consider this aircraft...

Congrats! Even though I do 90 percent of my flying with now my Mini2, I still keep and fly the Phantom 4 Pro Plus. Keep your eyes option and I'm sure you'll be able to find the right Phantom. Stay safe out there on the wet coast and enjoy the Air!

Ok, I admit it. I neglected my P4 Pro plus for a year. Last year during covid I was bored one day (temp layoff, a tax refund and the ability to buy things over the internet is a dangerous combo!) and bought a Mavic Mini from DJI's website. Had it in three days all the way from China! It was...

Don't Update Firmware unless Absolutely Necessary!

Thanks for these tips, Hendricks! I have yet to fly the P4P+ at night but hope to soon and will try out your suggestions.

In Canada you can actually fly at night even with the Basic Operations certificate so long as the aircraft has the "proper lighting (CAR 901.39)"

Controller is linked to the aircraft but it sounds like his tablet is not properly connected. Yes, the aircraft will fly without the tablet. Have him try to reinstall the app on his tablet.

No, I think the guy couldn't troubleshoot his problem because of a lack of internet in the location where he was flying.
