Great news for Pablo on his drone being located. Super-kudos to Starz for going the extra mile on locating it and sending it off.
And now a tracking update...

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

One of my favorite actors and movie. No update from last one on package movement. I'm wondering if Memphis is the last stop in USA berfore going across the water. ??

Starz · Jan 15, 2017

I just checked. Memphis is their main hub.

This is what community is all about, helping each other. Well done guys.
I'm not quite sure if I'm more excited about seeing Pablo get his Mavic back or me finally seeing mine has been shipped.

Great People in this forum! Great the Mavic is otw home!

Pablo · Jan 16, 2017

What calibrations would you all recommend I do when I get the bird back at the end of the week then?

Given the Mavic Mountain tumble, and the journey back to the UK I'm guessing I re-calibrate everything possible or is that overkill?

Starz · Jan 16, 2017

Just checked that myself. Hope they put enough gas in the plane. I did not have any room in the box for floaties, so I'll cross my fingers.

Hopefully he/she's a better pilot than I am.

Starz · Jan 16, 2017

You need to do the gimbal for sure. Don't power it up without taking that filter off. It will make a bunch of noise if it's still on there.(it's not in the right position)

As long as Tom Hanks isn't on the plane,I think we may be ok.

Hey Starz, you better prepare yourself and get ready to rescue the mp again if something happens on the way to England...

Starz · Jan 16, 2017

Don't like salt water.

Pablo · Jan 16, 2017

Well it's made it to England safely. I'm thinking delivery will be before Friday now.

Starz · Jan 16, 2017

Speedy flight! Must be high test gas.

Starz · Jan 16, 2017

Got a box about 10 minutes ago. Anybody want to guess what they dropped off? This is similar to what Pablo will see in a few days. 20 days total time from order to delivery on this one.

Starz · Jan 16, 2017

Sorry, here's the picture

Your Mavic finally arrived! Congrats! Just don't go losing it near the Mexico border!

Yayyyyy @Starz!

Get it charged and you'll still make it to Mavic Mountain for sundown

Starz · Jan 16, 2017

Lot of reading to do. Charging a few batteries and going to a friends house tomorrow that will help walk me through the heap of things to do. He has a p4p, so is more familiar than I am with dji quads. I have a few other fly toys that all have naza v2 controllers,which are dji products,that I can set up blindfolded, but I'll feel better with some initial help. Something I forgot to mention before Pablo,as I was looking at this new one,check your front obstacle lenses when you get yours back. I seem to remember a spot of some kind on one of them. Not sure if it was there before it got lost in the crack or maybe some little insect used it for a restroom. I left it alone. Anyway, I'm counting down the days till we get a picture of you and the box!!
