Anticipate said:I flew a successful mission again today, about 3000m worth in one flight. The data link was dropped at about 800m out (horizontally... it was 133m high). On the iPad, nothing showed... it was like I never started a flight. On my FPV (avl-58 w/iOSD mini) however, which I could still see fine, the P2 was still flying the waypoint program. And the iOSD still reported GPS mode (presumably from the tx I had on and on standby). I did not flick the transmitter to regain control and kept watching. Sure enough, even with no data link signal, the P2 kept following the program and then reacquired signal on the iPad about 300m away from home point.
All in all it's quite nice. Doesn't have the range of the tx or FPV, but it will retain the program when it loses connection and keep flying.
By the way, I also noticed a few other things: yaw wobble was similar to the last FW, but the P2 seems more stable now. I don't have to correct it as I used to have to when it first goes up to 'get it to settle'. It just goes up rock solid. Even in 15-20mph winds.
I also noticed that Go Home lands at 4m/sec. As I recall it used to be much slower, like 1.5m/sec. Manual down stick still maxes out at 3m/sec.
Thanks for the detailed information. You answered some of my questions.
