Thank you...not sure how I missed that. I probably need to go back and read everything again. I must have suffered from an information overload the first time. :oops:

I vaguely understand the concept of geofencing; and how it prevents motor activation in certain restricted zones. My question is what happens if your flight originates in a non-restricted zone; but, during flight, you inadvertently wander into a restricted zone? Does geofencing activate a RTH...

Yes, I have calibrated my phone....both, mounted and unmounted in the RC....no joy either way.

I have tried everything recommended in this, and other, threads on the subject. Thus far, nothing has corrected the problem for me. I don't believe we can rely on home brewed remedies to fix the problem. I think it's time for DJI to recognize the problem; and to step up with a solution.

Absolutely beautiful! Best enjoyed from the comfort of my recliner on a laptop. ?

Pretty sure the bad guys in question aren't flying drones of that size or sophistication.

The Army is having problems with the bad guys using drones; so they have developed a special rifle to solve the problem. https://taskandpurpose.com/military-tech/army-smart-shooter-fire-control-system

I don't know how to identify a troll; so let's assume this is a serious post. The poster is technically correct. The specifications for the Air 2 on the DJI website show "Max flight distance 18.5 km". That's a tick over 11 miles. In theory, a round trip of 11 miles would equate to 5.5 miles...

Are you saying just a quick 90 degree flip and then back to horizontal; or do you leave it at the 90 degree position while continuing to fly?

It appears that I am encountering the same problem that some others are having with Air 2 and DJI Fly. Since day one, I have not been able to make the flight attitude indicator work as it is supposed to do. My graphics always show up in red with a slash drawn through them. Google shows that...

Thank you. I retired from Ft. McPherson...lived in Lilburn at the time. I am in Columbus now. Maybe we can get together after the Covid-19 thing is no longer a threat.

My Mavic Air 2 was delivered last week. It's my first time to own or fly a drone. I have about 90 minutes of flight time so far. I'm doing things in baby steps; because starting out with something this expensive feels like the first time I did a crossword puzzle in ink....it's a little scary. I...
