    MP did something unexpected. I got lucky.

    Never mind all, I guess I should've looked at the log first. Data shows IMU altitude of 37.1 ft. when RTH was initiated...that explains it. I just don't remember it being that high...getting old, I guess. To answer... My 4 year old grandson was with me and I wanted to show him how cool MP...

    Yeah, I saw that. Scenario 2 applies, but I don't remember MP climbing to 32FT. It just took off directly to the HP, and then I think climbed to 32ft. or RTH altitude (I don't remember actually) after arriving over HP. I'll double-check in the logs...or post them

    MP did something unexpected. I got lucky.

    Yesterday I put my MP up to check my gutters for leaves. I launched from the grass off the middle of my patio in the back of my house. HP was established. I flew all around the house about 5 ft. above the gutters inspecting them and the 6 downspouts. After the last downspout, I hit RTH. The MP...

    Is there an app still available for the first-generation Mavic Pro?

    Litchi is, in my opinion, a solid app that I have been using for years with my MP. It's not free, but it's not expensive either.

    Litchi Waypoint Mission

    Hmmn. My MP does not do that. Double-check your settings. From the manual: Waypoint Actions Actions are performed when the aircraft arrives at the waypoint. There are six different waypoint actions, three of which accept an additional parameter. You can add up to 15 different actions for each...

    Amazon drone makes emergency landing in Arizona neighborhood

    Maybe I'm just old, but I think these drone deliveries and self-driving vehicles are all a bad idea. It's just a matter of time before something bad happens.

    RTH accuracy.

    Not sure about the Air3S, but on my original MP, in order for precision landing to work, when taking off you must go straight up to a height of at least 10 meters with no lateral movement. The allows the craft to get a "picture" of the landing spot. I can consistently land almost exactly where...

    Just Crashed my Mavic 3 Into the Ocean

    I have successfully used the "rice". Years ago I had an HTC phone that went through all the cycles of a clothes washing machine. (not salt water) I was going to toss it, but wife suggested the rice, so I threw it in a ziplok with minute rice (it was all that we had). At the time I had an...
