Thank you for the kind words.
I will most likely be jumping ship by the end of the month when the
goggles arrive. I cannot imagine that they work with .400 so I am going to Join the rest of you guy

Well, after reading all the reviews yesterday on this forum and another one, I decided I would give it a chance. It took 22 minutes for AC and 12 minutes for RC to download, transmit, and update using Asst.2 on Windows 10. I use Android 5.1.1, Samsung Tab A6. The update process went smooth. After updating form FW.400 to FW-.700 and updated from App 3.1.3 to App.4.0.7, I made 5 different flights yesterday afternoon and used three different batteries. Before take off I checked all settings to be safe. Had to change the usual stuff in general settings and reset my max. altitude and distance settings. Also my custom settings for the RC from .25 to .18 left/right turning. All test flights were in P-mode, OAS were on first 3 flights and OAS were turned off for the last 2 flights.
What I experienced.... Powering up: RC>App>AC>Connected. No more NFZ warning which I did have when I tested FW.600 with app.4.0.6!!! The mode was ATTI until full GPS lock was acquired (less than 10 sec.) then P-Mode GPS 16 locked in. Home point has been set. It then asked me if I wanted to enter "fixed wing mode" before take off??. It did this on all five flights! IMO this was annoying, especially during pre-flight. If I wanted to activate FWM I know how to press C1 during flight.
First 3 flights > (OAS are enabled) Auto-take off > precise landing mode > Yes. Take off ascending at 1 mph to 19ft and then hover, nice and smooth no drift. I then took control and ascended to 97ft. Max speed was 17-20mph with aprox.10-12mph winds according to UAV app. First 3 flights went smooth with no issues other than a couple of weak signal alerts. Video link was good, longest flight was 10 minutes at12,244ft.
Flights 4 and 5 > (OAS are off) Auto-take off>precise landing mode>yes. Take off>ascending at 1 mph to 19ft and hover. I ascend to 180ft and throttle forward 100%. Top speed with OAS off was 27-28mph with a head wind and 32mph with a tail wind. On the 5th flight I activated fixed wing mode. Throttled up to 20mph and slowly released forward throttle control. In FWM the aircraft maintained forward speed consistently at 19 mph +/- .5. The 4th flight distance was 25,820ft and 5th flight was 22,074ft. I used RTH on all five flights and each time was flawless. RTH speed was a constant 22.5mph. At this point I would say (for me) everything seams to be stable running this FW .700 with GO4 .4.0.7 but only time will tell. Need to do more flying to see if I want to stay or go back to FW.400. BTW... Fixed Wing Mode is fun and nice for distance flying.
Goggles may be next!
