I wish people wouldn't keep moaning the tello cannot handle wind. It holds rock solid position in 15 mph wind. Some care is needed not to stray onto plain ground or water, but for a selfies at 5 mpixels it's superb and unnoticed or hazardous in public. Long flight time, very manoeuverable...

Whatever RTH you set , behaviour when 100 metres away or more is what altitude is set in rth. Only at less will it rth at current alt.

That sort of press says we'll have electric airliners soon.

Much simpler to put a seventeen volt supply (my laptop charger ) into the hub that came with the CS.

I say most flyaways are declared which are later found to be caused by error. Ignoring the regs very much exascerbates this situation.

Well after familiarising myself with it, I had some very surrprising results which after thought all turned out to be correct behaviour, many of which people are still contesting as faults. When the public know that in the main spark flyers' and others' main interest is to blatantly ignore the...

Here's the thing. Spark gesture only follows you for 10 metres. Then it stops. No gestures then work. You can turn on rc recover or it will auto land on flat battery. But I don't think it's poorly thought out. It's more that it has taken me some months to explore it After following fora for...

It's because the ac to rc link is 5.8 ghz and 2.4 from rc to device. If you only use device , 2.4 can be used = much better range. The storm over this is still raging .

Well for that you would have the unlikely facility of the homepoint being set with no gps.

Future unknown. I have range issues, but it works within the realistic vls at which you could possibly see it to control it. Other drones may eventually match it, but not yet. If the regulators and dji feel people just want to blatantly flout the law then they will dumb it down and or ban them...

No wonder you have trouble if you've never/only once looked at the manual. Flies perfectly well indoors, gps not needed under 5 meters. Aicraft indicators display all this and masses more info. Compass status screen is so accurate you can find pipes/cables in your house. If you takeoff and...

Best advice is don't take advice.

Disaster on many android phones and otg now killed off as per previous post. You could try picking a different wifi channel and clearing video cache, but I had no luck. Check any bluetooth around is off and try airplane mode. I went to Crystal Sky rather than buy apple becaus screen is so bright.

Check manual on RTH behaviour. Min alt you can set is 20 meters, but if it's closer it can stay at current altitude. Know what to expect to avoid panic.

PS I think all this would be out of kilter with the spark's brief. It's already pretty complicated I imagine, and each additional complication brings new challenges. Where I am unhappy is the difference between the performance I expected and what I got, perhaps I saw what I wanted to see. The...
