Hello all and thank you for your time in looking/possibly replying!
My P2V+ V3 arrives tomorrow and I've been watching and reading everything I can about it for the last three days. I have R/C Planes (gas and electric) and Helo's, just one electric of outdoor size and multiple indoor craft. This is a gift to me from my brother in law for my birthday and for building his small business server with five terminal boxes. I spent a little over 20 years in the U.S. Army as a Blackhawk (UH-60) crew chief and mechanic and have always been fascinated with flying. It will be important for me to setup the TX to toggle return to home right off due to a TBI I sustained in Iraq. Sometimes, the sudden onset of stupid is strong in me and I need the versatility of hitting that switch and letting the drone take over while I sort myself out.
Quick down and dirty questions.
1. I'm possibly buying a Galaxy Note 8.0 today running Android JellyBean. Anyone else use one as their viewing device and if so, will the mount that comes with the TX hold it or will I need an aftermarket mount? Any recommendations? I also have a Samsung S4, with a cracked screen, as backup in case this Note doesn't work out.
2. Litchi is one of the first apps I'll buy and use on this drone. Has anyone used it on the above mentioned Note? Impressions?
3. What repair parts should I order to have on hand? Links?
4. Balancing blades. I know how critical this is to ensuring good, comprehensive maintenance. What product works well on the blades for this machine? Could you please link to it?
5. My brother in law wants me to do aerial videos of the houses he builds here in the Panhandle of Florida. As such, I'll be facing winds that are, typically, 10kts on an average day mostly coming in from the South. How have your experiences been with being able to remain steady while also facing various quartering winds as the drone moves around an object such as a two story house?
Again, thank you for any time you may expend on answering these questions! I'm sure there will be more questions as I go. I'm going to take my time and use the crawl, walk, run approach to flying this one!
