    MA2 Doesn't seem to hold its settings like phone charging.

    Guys, there seems to be a bit of confusion here. I am having no problems with my drone or phone's performance. I merely stated that I also have to manually select phone charging from the transmitter if I want it when I fly. in other words the phone charging setting is not "held". This is the...

    DJI Claims Mavic Air 2 will no longer ascend on RTH

    I test my RTH on the first flight every time I fly just in case I need it. On Sunday it did what it should do. Closer than 50m the drone just turned around and headed home without climbing. Further than 50 m it turned around, climbed to my selected altitude and headed home.

    Aircraft Orientation Indicator Missing

    Thanks for the help guys. I found it and I have had a look at it. We have had solid rain all day today so I haven't flown with it. I have watched some videos on how it works and I really like what I see. It appears to be a great upgrade on the old one.
