    Hi Namirda, when booting into VLM,(which is a great prog, by the way!), Malwarebytes always says ' namirda.dynamic-dns.net is a phishing site'. Can I ask why the pc is trying to connect to your domain? Are you trying to gain info on your users, as the prog works fine without connecting. Thanks...

    How to run a mission on a Mavic pro with Litchi.

    You need to download the mission to ipad before leaving home, via wifi. Load mission and press close button with ONE TAP, do not shut down completely. On location, press close button again to show screen, mission will be there. You need to tether ipad to your phone for internet, for map of...

    New Litchi user question

    Timewarden, Been using Litchi for 3yrs on my Ipad mini4, never a problem. Only use Go Fly app when needing to calibrate. Litchi is the cats proverbial whiskers as far as I am concerned. Not sure about iphones, but as has been suggested, you may be able to stop auto connection in settings...

    New Litchi user question

    With the Litchi Mission Hub, you can move the mission pattern to wherever you want, Litchi will set new coordinates automatically.

    Fess up- Have you broken the VLOS rule? (poll)

    Hi OMM, Just curious, what lights do you use on your MPP? As an old cranky myself, I too have difficulty seeing mu M1P at distance. I do have a single Firehouse XL mounted which helps a little, but would like to know if it can be improved. Thanks

    Gradual Deceleration in Litchi's Waypoint

    I tend to insert more WP's before the curved turn, so that I enter the curve at a slower speed. I find that using Litchi this way gives very smooth turns and stable video. Occaisionally, I'll insert extra WP's in the curved turn, and test in VLM as all missions I produce. I find that my videos...

    A2 CofC - Passed!

    Hi Folks, and a BIG shoutout to OMM! He recently advised that UAVHUB were doing the A2CofC course for £139, so I took the plunge. Passed tonight 100%. Thanks, OMM for giving me the little 'push' to do it. For anyone thinking about taking this course / exam, it is straightforward common sense...

    Waypoints vs litchi

    Litchi can be used to set waypoints and POI's offline on a pc, using the Mission Hub and testing the flight in Google Earth. It is so much easier, mission can be tweaked prior to actual flight. I have been using Litchi with my MP1 exclusively for last 3yrs. Absolutely great program!

    "Basic" Litchi (or Dronelink) question

    From take off, the drone will first fly upwards to the WP1 altitude, then fly at that height directly to first waypoint. On ending mission, drone flies up or down to RTH height, then flies directly back home. Hope this answers your query.

    Lucky save after fly-way on the harbor dock.

    In future, do not go below 30% battery for safety. You will no doubt rapidly reduce the lifetime of the batteries going this low. Am glad you recovered successfully though!

    Did I screw up buying this tablet?

    The Ipad mini4 works a treat on my M1P. Great bit of kit.

    VLOS ?

    Hello, OMM, have you tried Litchi with your ipad? You can set it to 'talk' to you through ipad speakers all the info required; height, speed, batt level, etc. Works well for MP's, I know Litchi won't work with your MA2 though.

    Would you fly this route?

    You'll find that the 3mile limit is for nighttime, not daytime. I have the latest Firehouse XL Strobe fitted to my MP1 and have difficulty seeing it over 1200ft. in daylight.
