Thank you for the link

I will try runnig DJI Fly with an iPad Mini 2 (can run IOS 11). I used an Ipad Mini (2) with a DJI Spark perfect and that post (compatible devices) indicating iPad Mini 2 does not run DJI GO 4...but I did it with the Spark. I just bought one (ipad m2) on eBay to try..I will be back with the verdict
