    Hey from Texas

    Yup, very familiar with Houston. Talk about a traffic nightmare - they were really bad a long time before Austin was. Our small town has one flashing traffic light, that's enough!

    Hey Adam. We lived in Austin when traffic wasn't a nightmare - which was a very, very long time ago :)

    Autel Evo II GPS Issues

    I've observed similar GPS issues with my E2P but I haven't had any aborted flight modes, at least so far.

    Exactly - found that out the hard way. My E2 was smart enough to stop and hover until I rescued it by manually flying.

    Excellent! I am very impressed with the Evo 2 but study your downloaded manuals, one for the E2 and one for the Explorer app. There are some "gotchas" like if you are flying a route that includes an elevation change. The E2 doesn't know about altitude above ground, just altitude above sea level.

    I was flying today in average wind speeds of about 12 mph and gusts to 20, flying the E2 was really, really easy. I was quite impressed, it's a joy to fly. My Phantom 2 was a handful to fly in any wind (for me) over about 5-7 mph.

    Cold front blowing in tonight, I think my Evo2 will stay in the hangar tomorrow.

    Long time Phantom 2 pilot but haven't flown it in a few years, was going to get the Phantom back in the air but the batteries were puffed. So I'm now comfortably in the Autel Evo 2 Pro camp. Flown two batteries so far but much to explore.
