He found it!! Amazing, it had took off on its own out of sight for almost a mile and landed on the roof of a house. He went over to the house to pick it up this afternoon. Weird how we came to know about it being there, the other guy from our drone club who was there with me this afternoon...

No luck, myself and another FDC member had a good look around the rooftops with our Phantoms this afternoon but sadly there isn't a Storm racing drone to be seen anywhere. At least he knows its defo not up there now! (y)

So are you saying don't use GPS mode, but fly in ATTI instead to eliminate the drone compensating for the lag? Also, what is a name tag lanyard?

I'm pretty sure this is the option we may go with. Recce with the Phantom to confirm its up there then go down that route, yeah. I'm a Watch Commander in the fire and rescue service so I do know most of the local police officers but I can't envisage it coming to the cops attending.

That's certainly one of my concerns. I believe it to be stuck on a flat roof which makes things slightly simpler......still risky though.

Oh and ladders 'might' be an option, possibly the safer option. But still curious to hear if anyone has suggestions of some other way to retrieve it using my own Phantom.

Hi folks, A guy in our local drone flying club has posted this evening on our FB page saying he has crashed his FPV racing quad onto a flat roof of a sports centre near where we stay. I'm going to pop over tomorrow with my Phantom and do a recce of the roof to see if we can locate its position...

Not sure when would be best but it would be really cool to fly over and get footage of it.I'm going to head up there at some point and have a few flights.

I've had the same since I updated to the latest 1.7.9 firmware. Annoying but never seems to affect the bird. Sent from my Hudl 2 using PhantomPilots mobile app

I think it's called Back hill farm, from the 1800's. Sent from my Hudl 2 using PhantomPilots mobile app

Excellent! You know what, I have never even thought of that location to fly at as I live fairly close. Looks great. Did you have any issues up there? Sent from my Hudl 2 using PhantomPilots mobile app

I finally got out today and did 3 x full battery flights. The good news is that the new FW seems to be working very well indeed in relation to previous issues with 1.6.8. I was on 1.5.7 before I upgraded to the new FW and apart from a few 'Weak Controller signal' and 'Weak image transmission...

So - since the other thread on the new F/W has been closed where people were asking about the 'Strong interference detected' message glitch, did those who experienced this manage to solve the issue by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Go app, which is apparently supposed to fix the glitch...

Well, I bit the bullet and upgraded from 1.5.7 to the latest FW. First update attempt failed after it got stuck at 8%. So I switched off and back on and thankfully nothing seemed to have screwed up the bird. Tried again and this time it completed smoothly and I have to say I was surprised just...

Hi, can you not downgrade manually by putting an older firmware bin file on the SD card? Sent from my Hudl 2 using PhantomPilots mobile app
