    Litchi killed mavic number 1 I think, do I trust it with number 2?

    Never saw the white letters on the white background until after I posted. Whatever. Sarcasm noted.

    Litchi killed mavic number 1 I think, do I trust it with number 2?

    Ok, well if the flight plan that you entered into Litchi allowed a tree to be on your flight path, at or above your designated altitude, as you cruise along at a speed above the maximum at which the avoidance sensors are effective, that is not a Litchi problem.

    Litchi killed mavic number 1 I think, do I trust it with number 2?

    When I am running a Litchi flight I never even enter the DJI Go App. I fire up the RC, load the Litchi app, and then turn on the Mavic. Once everything connects, I choose the flight plan, "load" it from right there within Litchi, and take off from within Litchi. When the mission ends it will...

    Litchi killed mavic number 1 I think, do I trust it with number 2?

    Sounds from your first paragraph like you were already airborne when you loaded a mission? I have never done that. I fly Litchi missions frequently, some of the pretty complex with multiple poi's and multiple waypoints, and have NEVER had a disconnect, load error, or any other problem. I do...

    Does litchi calculate RTH/battery usage/wind conditions?

    If I recall correctly I thought that Litchi had a "slider bar" up at the top of the display where the "red" RTH portion of battery life would keep increasing as long as you were heading outbound. I will have to look tonite to see if there were any other settings available.

    Litchi Waypoint- Custom and Auto heading..

    Litchi really is pretty amazing. You can drop POI's wherever you want the drone camera to be looking, and then create waypoints and designate which POI you want to the drone to be looking at from each waypoint. You set POI for each waypoint, so if you want to be looking straight ahead you can...

    Firehouse strobes

    I bought the Firehouse 4 bulb cree 3 light combo - one white, one red, and one green. I have been very happy with them, both in daylight and darkness. Very bright. The green one was kind of squirrely - I think the on/off switch may be bad, but so far I have been able to get it to work by...

    Cree ultra bright light

    I went with the 4 bulb Cree's from Firehouse. 1 white, 1 red, and 1 green. VERY impressive. I put them in real aircraft configuration - green on left front leg, red on right front, and white strobe over the light on the rear of the MP. I use them mostly for night, but on occasion in daylight...

    Forward Vision sensor unavailable

    I have seen the same warning occur over the last several flights. I also believe that it relates to the latest DJI app update, and has nothing to do with the iOS update, but I do hope that DJI will "fix" this without breaking something else - haha.

    Can't erase files on SD card

    There was another thread on this 2 days ago, but now I can't find it. I wound up having to put the Micro SD in a windows machine, and delete a bunch of trash which did not erase correctly when I deleted the files on my MacBook Pro. Some others have had to re-format. Not sure why this seems to...

    Notifying Airports - trying to do this the right way

    Interesting that this is an old thread, recently resurrected. In another thread, the OP describes the flight that he did later make, and put up a vid. I looked up the PHX Sectional, and the Class B restriction to the surface is primarily running east and west of the field, based upon E-W...

    Possible to see uploaded litchi mission from Mavic?

    Double check the speed set for each waypoint - whether it was "cruise", which you can in fact define, or a specific other number.

    Huge dilemma with DJI return home policy

    Agreed, and clarification noted. The exact wording from the logs was not "low battery", it was, in RED - "Warning__The remaining battery is only enough for RTH. Return home now." It is also interesting that in the last minute of flight he changed to sport mode, and speed increased to 26, but...
