Thanks for the tip. I rang my nearest jbhifi which is at Penrith Sydney this morning and they had one combo left in stock which I have picked up. .

Congrats - Wish I'd seen that message earlier - I would've driven down to Penrith in a flash!. Just chatted with Modelfight- there are 9 orders in front of me, and they're getting a shipment in on the 28th. The guy said they hope to get my combo to me first week of Jan. Still, having waited for ~2.5 months, if I'd been able to go to JB Hi-Fi to get it, I would've cancelled with MF...

I am in Surfers mate. I do ride my motorbike up Tamborine a fair bit and intend on flying my drone up there at times too. Keep in touch mate I would love to check out your Mavic if I am up your way

There's one fly more combo at Harvey Norman Penrith, if anyone's interested.

uts, thanks for the tip off, just went over to JB and got their last combo one, all I have to do now is unpack it and see what I have, then off to Freo tomorrow to pick up my refund.

Just take your time with it, don't rush and have fun
It took me a while to gain confidence but I am starting to trust more and more. I still have the P4 and fly both.
The firmware up grades are making the mavic more stable all the time.

Personally I dont see how it's possible since it will only work with the switch in the wifi position which you have to flick over and range is ~50m

No need to practice, just keen to fly with someone haha

have a look here, I don't want to loose my Mavic, will PM you soon re a flight together

They'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands to be able to flick it to wifi mode haha

A very silly staged video that would never happen in the real world, wouldn't waste my time stuffing around changing anything
