To start with the obvious, have you checked limits set in the Safety menu of the Fly app?

It seems with the latest (December 2020) software updates that the Aircraft Orientation widget has vanished from the bottom centre of the Fly screen. After a bit of research, I discovered that there's now a tiny icon at the corner of the minimised map display that invokes a widget resembling an...

I attached my iPhone with video recorder active to one of my home-made sport quads once or twice, in an early attempt at getting a camera into the sky. Not particularly useful for audio, there's a lot of motor, prop and wind noise, completely swamps any other ambient sound you may be interested...

Maybe y'all already know this, but I discovered that with a properly calibrated gimbal and the "+" (I call it the cross hair) indicator activated in the centre of the RC display, my MA2 camera is very useful for precise height measurement and aircraft positioning. With the camera pointed...
