    Anybody?

    WTB: XSP OEM props

    Yep; I'm still rockin' the XSP! I have the Master Airscrew props, and I don't like them at all, so I'm looking for some new OEM props. I still have 2 brand new OEM props in the package (one CW and one CCW), so technically all I really need is another one of those pairs...but I might take more...

    Class D waiver/authorization

    Sorry guys; got super busy the last few days (work and home kitchen remodel!) will get some info out this weekend! Real quick though, Waiver Safety Explanation Guidelines for Part 107 Waiver Applications is *the* key to getting approved. You *must* explain your operation by exactly using the...

    Class D waiver/authorization

    It's certainly doable; you just submit and then get on with your life until they decide to respond. :-) I'll share later tonight what I submitted so that you guys have an idea. In the meantime, read every single letter of this page, follow all the links, and read every single letter of those...

    Class D waiver/authorization

    Yeah; I included a *ton* of information in that little tiny form (had it all written out beforehand after days of research, then copy/paste into the form) and also added that I have an entire "run book" for all my flights that I'd be happy to upload once they started working on the request. And...

    Class D waiver/authorization

    First post, big question! What kind of info are you looking for? The simple answer is yes; a few of us here have authorizations to "fly in certain airspace". So we're on the same page, waivers and authorizations are 2 different things. Waivers are for things like night flying, flying over...

    FAA TV: UAS Integration Pilot Program Webinar

    I was on that one last week (at 6am!) and am now signed up as an "interested party". Been contacting my local "officials" to see if I can open conversations with them about this program. FYI, I see pretty much *no* value in this program - a 3 year study that hopes to have state and local...

    Personal best distance record

    Just doing it because it's awesome and I could do it in complete safety. Stick around, get a feel for the level of folks on this forum. I don't think anybody here is into reckless endangerment or into taking money out of anybody's pocket by flying illegally and getting paid for it.

    Official firmware update is V2.0.12 As of 10\25\2017

    Yeah; I set the radius to as small as I could make it (33') because I only intend to circle things like cell towers / light poles / etc., where "closer is better". I may try a larger orbit at some point just to see what happens!

    Official firmware update is V2.0.12 As of 10\25\2017

    Hmmm...yes, I meant compass calibration, but now that you say that, maybe you could try calibrating your controller as well? That's something I haven't really heard much about, so unsure what affect it would have. Can't hurt to try, I suppose! Heck, maybe even re-bind the controller to the XSP...

    Official firmware update is V2.0.12 As of 10\25\2017

    My exp is set to .4, but...the jury is still out on whether or not that affects the auto orbit or not. I haven't played with that yet, but even if I did, it may be different on mine than yours!

    Official firmware update is V2.0.12 As of 10\25\2017

    Man, that stinks. :-( What's most terrible is how different the experience is for people...you'd think the same fw on the same bird would work the same way. People thought I was crazy when I loaded up 2.0.8 and just about kissed my commercial aspirations goodbye because the yaw, orbit, and...

    Official firmware update is V2.0.12 As of 10\25\2017

    No fun! :-( Did you try cleaning the gimbal contacts (remove gimbal, use a pencil eraser on all the contacts both on the gimbal and the XSP, and/or use a q-tip with rubbing alcohol or other appropriate contact cleaner), re-installing the official FW, and re-calibrating? If not, please...

    Small movie for a small place (Brittany, France)

    Very nice again Francois! At 0:56 that bird is like "I'm serious guys; I caught a fish and it was THIS BIG!!" :-)

    Alabama Gulf Coast pilot | FORMER P4P+ owner.....never again!

    Welcome to the group...great story. :-) Did you do the firmware update? How do you find the yaw movements compared to the P4P+?
