So, I just bought the P4 and it hasn't even arrived yet....so been spending time trying to educate myself. Great site by the way, hope to learn a lot. Looked for a sticky on "really dumb newb questions" but didn't find it, so please bear with me.
I might add also that I am mostly interested in what I will call "programmed flights", but I do have really wide open spaces away from any civilization to play in. I am very interested in the Litchi app and have signed up and actually created a mission in there.
So here is a start to my questions.
1. I plan on using my Android smartphone first, and then maybe an Ipad. But, not sure how my Ipad functions without a phone connection, and I don't have internet in my flying location. How exactly does the Ipad or Android communicate with the P4 - don't I need cellular phone or internet?
2. Any good Litchi threads going you might refer me to. I have a mission, but the few tutorials I have read spend a lot of time on making a mission and then jumps to "then we just fly it". Ummmmm....how do I get the mission in the P4 and lifted off to head to the way points and come home? I know this is probably really stupid sounding, but if you haven't done it, seems rather important.
Thanks, and I have a bunch more....but until I open the box, I am just itching to figure all this out.
Cheers
