Re: STICKY: AutoPilot v3.04 Update 5/21: Updated NoFly Zones I had my first experience with 3.04 over the weekend and I took my Phantom to a park south of KSFO. Wow, are the pop ups that tell you you're under Class B really annoying. In fact, the "Height Limit Reached" that suddenly blocks...

Well, it's been my experience that the FAA designates minimum altitude flights at times over different National Parks, wild life refuges, etc. I would recommend checking Skyvector if you're really curious. However, on February 15th, President Obama signed a law protecting model aviation...

I just purchased the SanDisk Extreme Plus 32 GB microSDHC Class 10 and successfully formatted it with the Vision application. I'll report back on my findings with that one.

Re: DJI China misappropriated DJI North America's biz in tot Hehe, I was talking to my attorney about this today in casual conversation and we both agreed that DJI Global is going to have a really hard time spinning this one. I can't even imagine trying to defend this. They've lost purely on...

Re: DJI China misappropriated DJI North America's biz in tot Don't worry, tin foil hats not only ward off alien abductions, they're good at scrambling the transmissions of the drones reporting back to their mothership ;)

Re: DJI China misappropriated DJI North America's biz in tot Personally, since I already made the investment, I'll see the PV2 through it's lifespan. When the time comes to consider a new quad, however, I'm less likely to be struck with "brand loyalty syndrome".

Re: DJI China misappropriated DJI North America's biz in tot Here's the story as reported on Yahoo Finance. There's a link to the judge's signed injunction order, as supplied to Yahoo Finance by Powers Taylor LLP. It lists the specific actions taken by DJI China that lead to the injunction...

Re: DJI China misappropriated DJI North America's biz in tot Wow, that's absolutely horrible. DJI China will be hard pressed to smooth this one over. It seems from some of the comments that I've read that Collin Guinn was polarizing. Personally, his friendly persona and outward enthusiasm...

So glad you were able to find your P2V! I must agree with many of the other posts that winds on the surface vs. winds aloft can be very very deceptive. I learned this the hard way once, but it was in a Cessna 172 while I was a student pilot. Less than 3 days before a hurricane had passed...

I agree with Tripnman. I've flown at two different locations thus far. One in an open field, and another adjacent to my home that is in steeper terrain near a Park trail. When I took off at the open field, I believe I was locked on 10 or 11 Satellites. At my home, however, the smaller open...

Just curious Mike & HVMSTORMER, are you both operating the P2V in Phantom 2 Vision mode or Naza-M mode? I've gone below 30% in P2V mode and only got the audible warning on the application and visual led warning on the P2V. I've since reconfigured to Naza-M as I want to experiment with the Home...

Yes, it does affect the Phantom but in a good way. This model is really no different in some respects than a real prop aircraft. During the winter and colder months, there is higher air density (air molecules are closer together). This gives more air for the props to "bite into" so to speak...

It took me a while to figure out how to enter the Naza mode as it wasn't apparent or included in the instructions. At first the new light patterns were perplexing and I thought something bad happened during the conversion. I did some quick Googling and discovered the Naza LED patterns. It would...

It's been there for some time. They also have a TFR over Disney World in Orlando as well. It's been there since 2009, but honestly, Disney World is inside Orlando's class B airspace, so you aren't getting in there without permission. I've flown very close to Disney World with the TFR in place...

At least it's green there, Pull_Up. We've gotten zero rain this year, and everything is "Golden" (read brown and ugly here) in San Francisco's East Bay.
