Litchi beta test flight

Mr. C4 · Apr 18, 2018

Just flew with Litchi beta version and I think it switched me back to CE mode from FCC mode, unless I unknowingly hit the “OK” button at the wifi prompt in DJI GO 4. Any other beta testers with the same experience? Some Spark pilots report the same issue with the Spark.

Just done a test flight too. I did lose range very quickly. Why do you think you switched back to CE mode?

I had 13 2.4Ghz channels when I reverted back to DJI GO 4.

I wonder if when uploading the mission, the firmware now reads the gps and sets the power mode accordingly

I did not fly with waypoints/mission.

Litchi will lose plenty of MA customers if the power mode is automatically set.

****, I can confirm this is the case with me too

Reboot RC and it will connect.

Yep, same here. First Litchi beta flight and the app connected, disconnected then re-connected to my MA again when I first opened it up. This was all before I loaded a mission. Litchi and my MA flew great but when I returned to the DJI Go4 app later I was back in CE mode. Have also noticed prior to installing the Litchi beta that after the DJI Go4 update a week or so ago I no longer got the wifi switching message screen on startup but it was still in FCC mode (as I check prior to every flight). Still very impressed with the Litchi beta though!

if the drone is flying a mission and gets low on battery, will it abort the mission and return home automatically?

It continues the mission and does a rth if the battery gets low.

Android version doesn't see to suffer from the FCC issue.

Just tested waypoints on the beta, perfect flight.

Yes, I did several missions and it works very well! Good job litchi!

Hi folks!
The Litchi app description doesnt seem to have been updated to say the Air is supported. I just want to make sure I'm downloading the right one. Is this the right one?
