    Litchi, saved missions missing

    A very Merry Christmas to you too. Sorry to learn of your loss. Sometimes pets can have a more profound effect when they pass away than a relation or friend. To be honest, I'm not sure where the second login came from. I must have generated it in the past but the reason is lost on me. I had a...

    Litchi Sorties Beyond Internet Reception Range

    Hi Hermann, I'm also not familiar Datcon. I've looked on Google Play and apple app store but to no avail. Could you point me in the right direction please? Thank you.

    Litchi, saved missions missing

    I had a similar problem, no missions. Then discovered I had used a different log in name, logged in with the original information and all missions reappeared.

    Demonstration of why Altitude Limits should be removed

    I agree. In the U.K. the Governent are already looking into imposing strict Laws concerning the use of drones.

    Flight record of P3S spiralling into the sea

    If in doubt Frank use the gripper that came with drone. Now there are seeds of doubt in your mind ensure you take all steps to dispel them. I've flown in windy conditions and only used thumb and finger to hold the motor to tighten props. I'm also progressive with the control sticks.

    Hi Neon. What address did you send it to? Was it in the U.K.?

    Strange behaviour from phantom 3 std RC

    My first P3S had a catastrophic crash. Hit a side of a tower and fell 60ft. The camera case had a dent in it and it wouldn't connect to the android tablet. As cost for a new camera and base plate cost more than half the cost of a new P3S and I didn't know if there was more internal damage so I...

    why does my gimble do this

    I think it was with Litchi. I generally use that particular app.

    Flying below altitude of takeoff point

    Just to get back to the OP, now I've slept I would exercise caution with regards to antenna polarisation. In the diagrams I've seen the drone is shown above head height with the radio signals emitted at a diagonal away from the ground. If not flying long distances then it shouldn't be a problem...

    why does my gimble do this

    Have you checked if the grub screw holding the gimbal to the motor shaft is tight. I had the same problem a while back after renewing a bent gimbal (you must have string hands, I couldn't straighten mine at all). It required re-tightening and it's been rock steady since.

    Flying below altitude of takeoff point

    Thanks John. A really understanding wife. She lets me go golfing on a Saturday morning whilst she.....you've guessed it, go's shopping with said daughter! The video is not me but an acquaintance who used to live not too far from me but has now gone to live in Spain. Hence expat in Mazarron...

    Flying below altitude of takeoff point

    Hi John, I can confirm the accuracy of Google is sometimes misleading. A pilot error but I set the orbit centre on top of a tower I wanted to fly around. I should have centred it on the base of the tower. Expensive lesson learnt as the drone hit the tower and fell 60ft to it's death...
