    UPDATE: All issues were down to my error in not connecting my IPhone 8 Plus properly with the supplied cable. No problem since making sure the cable is properly connected to the phone, suspect an awful lot of the problems reported here are caused by this. My confidence in using it has...

    Cable to phone - make sure it’s properly connected!

    I’m new to flying and recently got a MPP. First few flights were perfect. Then lots of the problems I read about here; imu error, interference then loss of GPS and phone connection. I’m pretty sure this was all because my IPhone 8 Plus wasn’t plugged in properly (the plug doesn't go fully in...

    I’ve now done about 2.5 hours flight and covered about 8.5 KM with my best being 20 mins and 2km in one go. It wasn’t flying miles away, just back and fourth. Tested at the coast and the horizon wasn’t tilted. Been using it out of beginner mode and touch wood all good so far. Taken it up to max...

    Thanks Mike, very kind. It could’ve been grass actually so glad you mentioned that. Yes I’ve seen the threads on titl, lol probably why I noticed it! Unfortunately didn’t get time to go out today. Next opportunity is Sunday, looking forward to it :)

    Thanks again Mike. Yes I’ve seen the Drone code before but good to remind myself of it. I hope you’re right about me doing this properly as I really don’t want to crash/lose/damage someone/something !! I was flying in my local Park. I walk there everyday with the dog and regularly see...

    Took it for its first flight today - wow! It’s so quiet!! Didn’t fly further than 30m but had fun practicing control. It was windy but a beautiful day. Took some video and a couple of pictures just to test and everything seems to work ok. The pics and vid were out of focus but that’s down to...

    Yes it was me being stupid - you drag and drop the direction icons when configuring controls. Just spent a couple of hours doing the updates and flight sim. Then had a play with the camera which looked really good through the playback on an iPhone 8 Plus. Fingers crossed I won’t have any...

    Hi all, Happy days it arrived today! First (stupid) question lol - when settting up custom controls for the joystick I’m unable to configure anything, trying to press and hold on the different direction icons but nothing is selecting. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? I’d like to keep...

    Doesn’t look like I can do this without having the aircraft?

    Hi all, After spending the last month researching I’ve finally ordered my Xmas pressie: a Mavic Platinum fly more combo and have now started the hopefully not too long wait for it to be delivered! This is my first drone and I’m really excited :) I’ve always been fascinated by RC stuff, a...
