    Resume mission after battery change - glitch?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't tried that specific course of action yet. It's extremely frustrating when I have to restart an 80 minute mission twice because the stupid drone or controller glitches when trying to resume, then I don't have enough batteries left to finish, then I wasted a...

    Resume mission after battery change - glitch?

    So I've encountered a bit of a glitch when flying in RTK mode. When a battery change is required, the drone comes home, I change the battery, and power the aircraft back up. No issues. Upon the controller reconnecting to the drone, I'm immediately prompted to "RESUME MISSION - YES OR NO". If...

    Thanks for the reply. I was getting an error message when attempting an OTA update. I tried the manual method but the instructions were vague and incomplete, which led to an unsuccessful attempt. For example, the instructions at this page (How To Update EVO Firmware Manually?) and the video...

    DualR Issues

    I recently got a Evo II Dual R and was flying this past weekend and ran into some annoying problems. 1. The Smart Controller cannot push a firmware update to the aircraft (2.7.35 as displayed on the Smart Remote). It fails evertime. Trying to manually put the BIN or ZIP files onto the SD...
