Geez. Between the US Senate's proposed 'Drone Integration and Zoning Act ' (S. 1249) and Florida's Senate's proposed 'Reasonable Force' bill, it may become extremely difficult to fly our drones anywhere down here in Florida. Regulations are fine to a point. Over regulation will cause...

@RodPad... Just be sure the new battery is snapped in tight. Some aftermarket types lack that familiar 'click' when installed. 😳

Ok. At the top left of the GoApp camera screen it should say 'Disconnected' or 'Ready to Fly' at some point when the bird and r/c and showing green. Maybe if you send us a screenshot ?

I'm still wondering if he got the GoApp working.........post #30. 🤷‍♂️

So, the bird and RC are linked. Is the GoApp linked by wifi to the RC? .....if so, What does the GoApp screen show..'Disconnected' or 'Ready to Fly'? When you say "It" wants to activate the drone.....what is "IT"?

It would be very interesting to see the results of the FAA drone detection test once completed, and each of the parameters used to determine those results.

In my case, I haven't updated the firmware on my P3S's since 2016. They fly great, with no additional limits....and NONE of that GeoFencing garbage DJI came up with a few years ago If it flies great, don't mess with it. Remember, DJI no longer supports the P3S, so beware. Calibrate...

@Candoman62 .... If you are doing any bench testing INSIDE, be sure to take the props off the drone. It is simple......2 are clockwise, 2 are counter-clockwise. With props off you can test startup and takeoff procedures without the drone jumping up and chasing you across the room. Plus...

Ok. (The main light on the RC should be green also)......and once the bird has completed warming up, the front LED lights should be solid red, and the rear LED lights should be blinking green. Can you fill us in on what you see on the GoApp?.......like 'Ready to Fly', number of satellites...

No. Absolutely not. My P3S's have been asking to update the firmware since 2016......and both fly flawlessly. Firmware updates are notorious for causing more problems than they fix. And since DJI no longer supports the P3 Standard, if it bricks.....well......it will make a good...

Welcome to the Forum. As stated earlier, do NOT mess with a firmware update at this time. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the bird and r/c to link. Check out msingers' site 'Phantomhelp.com' for everything Phantom. Just be sure to select the correct drone model from the drop-down...

Might as well try and see what you're dealing with. Be sure the batteries charge up for the bird and the R/C. Create a preflight checklist of required steps to get started. Note : If you do any bench testing INSIDE, be sure to take the props OFF the bird before power up. You don't...

😂

Yep, I kinda' agree with others that it may be one headache after another just trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. The combo of different model parts, and then aftermarket dipole antennas makes research of the drones design and function far from a normal 'stock' drone. It...

May be the drop down menu from 'Phantomhelp.com' I mentioned earlier... Boatloads of info for your P2.
