    Now... I hate my Mavic

    Guys... For all those people having problems make sure you have a "U3" rated SD card! Most cards on the market cannot write above 10 MB/s. Initially my Nexus 6p worked fine with the class 10 "U1" card. I'm not sure if it was upgrading to nougat or mavic firmware change but I had all kinds...

    DJI GO 4 becomes unresponsive with Android Nugout on Nexus 6p.

    Solution found! After trying a number of devices and USB cables I finally found a solution for my original post. The problem was a slow SD card! You must get a card able to write at least 30MB/s even for 2K. Once I changed to a "U3" card speed all the problem of crashing apps disappeared...

    How many batteries do you get in the combo?

    I got my Mavic before Christmas and got three batteries with "the combo" but today while I was at the hobby shop I was told the "fly more combo" only includes a total of 2 batteries. What's up with that?

    DJI GO 4 becomes unresponsive with Android Nugout on Nexus 6p.

    I updated to the latest and greatest Nougat 7.1.2 yesterday and no change. The app still freezes and locks up my Nexus 6p. I even had the screen rotate disabled and the device in airplane mode. I don't have issues with any other apps and the phone seems fine otherwise. Anyone else have a...

    Obstacle avoidance is not Idiot proof

    I was trying to avoid a cement wall! It was a demonstration so I choose an obvious obstacle. I went directly at it at 90 degrees and it did stop and hover . I then centered the stick.... Then reapplied forward stick forcing into the wall and sure enough it hit the wall. Not idiot proof. I was...

    Check your propellers

    Check your props after a mishap! I noticed one prop didn't spin as free as the others and it turns out 1 of the 3 tabs which hold the prop on was broken. It could jammed the motor or lost the prop entirely in flight [emoji25] It's happened to other guys. Sent from my Nexus 6P using...

    Obstacle avoidance is not Idiot proof

    I ask because that exact thing happened to me about 10 minutes ago in front of a number of people. I wasn't going fast and it did stop about 3 feet away but I push the sticks again and sure enough wham.

    DJI GO 4 becomes unresponsive with Android Nugout on Nexus 6p.

    DJI Go 4 keeps freezing and I have to reboot my Nexus 6p. Has anyone had that issue? I'm not sure if it's related to running the latest Android Nougat but it's made flying miserable. The other issue is the screen rotate option consistently causes the app to crash. Locking it in portrait mode...

    Last night NBC news does report on drone close calls

    The "nightly news" really tests the ethics of journalism in America today. Very few facts are confirmed and the motive is profit.."if it bleeds, it leads".....No wander people are desensitized.
