I have been flying my P2 for more than a year now and have an infrequent problem.  It usually happens when I am "showing off this great machine" to other people.
It just won't find the satellites and will stay a solid yellow.  Recently I tried for more than 1/2 hour at four different nearby locations.  Twice it looked like it would lock on
as the lights flashed rapid green but then flashed red and went back to solid yellow.  It was embarrassing.  
I took it home and with nobody but me around, it worked fine.  I thought that it might be because of a Coast Guard air station in the next town but then today,
I went to the same locations and within seconds it locked on to the satellites.

I have also noticed that sometimes while flying I will get rapid flashing of red and then back to green and some other times it will descend and land with one solid and
one flashing light on the battery.

Also does anybody know the difference between solid green and slow flashing green?  It seems to fly the same with both indicators.
