    Free PGYTech Tablet Holder

    Poll: Activation successful or not?

    Mine arrived today from Amazon. It activated immediately with no problems, then upgraded the firmware. I got the Fly More Combo and after I did a quick initial flight I swapped to another battery that had been on the charger and discovered that you have to update the firmware for each of the...

    Newbie Pilot from San Diego!
