    A UK CAA Max altitude exemption actually allows for fpv up to 1000ft provided the competent obverser has sight, less than 3.5Kg, etc. Rob.

    DJI GO 4 4.2.14 for iOS is out

    Yes, I would like to know as well. If the answer is use an FCC compliant GPS location with an Android device then it does not work for me. Maybe there is some other way GO4 is seeing my true location? Thanks for any constructive help.

    Who has has the guts to take it to the max.

    I tried to get my RTH to kick in naturally at extreme distance once but chickened out at 5 miles. Good job I did really, only just made it back with a strong headwind, 10 mile round trip. All over open countryside.

    Yet another bad news story for our hobby

    A lot of these stories are bogus, as we all know it is almost impossible to see a drone from any kind of distance, even when you know where it is. So fairly obvious why there are no witness statements or tangible details, just vague words which anyone can string together. Probably been said...

    DIY rear compass cabling fix

    Gents, my MP has been exhibiting compass redundancy switch issues pretty much every flight but on taking a peek inside it seems the rear motor wires are already 'factory twisted'. GO4 often tells me to calibrate compass but usually fails so I end up flying with an alternating red/yellow rear...
