It's ok. As per my other thread my machine was started!

She is up and running! Now to re-learn flying skills. Lucky to have 8 acres of cut hayfield.

Thanks. I will leave it charged overnight tonight. It seems to be ok now however. Just had it out in my hayfield behind the house. A little breezy today to be 're-learning' flight controls so maybe tomorrow in the morning calm. Thankyou again for your time and advice.

Haha... so I just found out. She is up and running! Thanks so much for your time and advice.

Also... I'm on a Mac not a PC.

How is this done on an apple? Thanks

That helped however I can't bind the CGO3 camera to the quad as it's asking for a password... I don't even recall giving it a password! Tried several obvious ones as default etc but nada. Anyway of setting a new password?

Thanks Tom. Batteries are all charged up including the camera.

Well that helped. However I cannot bind the camera to the copter. It keeps asking me for a password, which, I don't remember giving it one etc etc. Any secrets to getting around this OR setting up a new one? The camera is a CGO3.

Thanks guys. I shall try all given advice. Standby for outcome! V

Hello All Not having been 'in' the game for a long while I pulled my aged Q500 out of storage the other day. (It's been years) All the batteries and power sources charged up with no issues. However all the icons for Satellites and GPS read N/A and the controller is not linking with the copter...

I hear you. The reason I was asking is I am on the cautious side and thought they might be a good preventative measure. Cautious flight is the name of the game for sure. Advice well taken. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. Just saved a bit.

Anyone have any info on what prop guards to get? Are they worth it as a general precaution etc etc. Thanks for your time.

Just unboxed mine. Yeah, I was surprised I was getting low battery warnings at around 10.7 volts. Under ten minutes of flight time for sure. Thought it was a bum item but... not as bum as the phantom. Two brand new machines out of the box back to back were both duds. Too much hassle. Sent back...
