Yes, I was an RC pilot for years before I became a drone pilot. I have NEVER thought the word "pilot" was a status symbol. It is a descriptor, especially when preceded by a qualifying adjective like "Drone". In my 40 years of flying radio controlled models, often along side commercial...

You can only do PIP in the 2D setting, if you've selected 3D, it will not work.

That just happened here in the Seattle area a week ago. A Tesla was in auto drive on the 405 while the "driver" was looking at his phone, the car ran down and killed a motorcyclist traveling in the lane in front of him.

Yes, Thank you for the correction.

Yes, you can do it with a PC as well. Just go to the DJI website and download the fly app from their site to the PC, then activate the drone, goggles and controller via the PC. You repeat the procedure for all firmware updates. So phone or PC, either will do what you need.

Oh man, I am so sorry! I was just reading back through this and saw nobody had mentioned that. It is a common problem. But yeah, that was the issue that prevented you from getting the app downloaded.

You have to download the app from the DJI website, not from the phone's app store. Not sure if that was the problem?

Yes, I've said that before, it isn't much fun flying a Drone at an RC fixed wing field. Nothing to see or photograph, and you are limited to the confines of the field and expect to fly in either clockwise or counterclockwise around the perimeter of the field. The only real value is if you...

And my stove, oven and furnace all have pilot lights (not visible for 3 miles however).

The FRIAs I am aware of here in the Seattle area all require an AMA membership, and most require an annual membership fee to maintain the field, etc. I belong to 4 AMA RC flying fields, one is free (within the confines of a state park) and the others charge around $50/year. These fields are...

I've been an RC pilot for 40 years. I fly RC with, and I am friends with several "real pilots" who have NEVER taken offense to anyone flying a balsa wood and paper plane or a high tech drone calling themselves a pilot. It is a descriptive word, I "pilot" a remote flying machine, therefore I...

I was just going to say the same thing, there is little to no discussion on the FPV forum about the Avata 2. This is where the disucussions are taking place.

You need to go into the settings on the goggles and adjust the gains for both Normal and Sports mode. They are set at the slowest speed possible on arrival, only a bit faster than beginner mode. Once you increase the speed in your settings, you will be very happy. My Avata 2 was supposed to...

I'm still waiting for delivery of mine due to several frustrating UPS delays, but some tutorials show the unit plugged into a phone, others use their PC for the initial set up. So either should work. Scan the QR code inside the box lid and it will walk you through the setup.

I am perplexed by this too. I have heard that you can't record using easy acro, yet there are plenty of videos of the flips and barrel rolls, and especially the drift maneuver. My Avata was scheduled to arrive yesterday, then today. Now UPS says tomorrow...
