Thank you for all the effort - I downloaded and added to my ever thickening compendium of Phantom documentation.

Thanks to all of you for your nice comments about THE guide.

Please note that it's winter over here and there's no way I gonna fly at -20c...
BUTTTTTT, spring is coming soon so the flying season will start once again followed
by my usual new updates of THE guide, so stay tune.

Hi Fantomas,hey keep that guide up to date for us. It's a great collation of all phantom knowledge and a printed copy is always with my manual.  

It is worth repeating that DJI should adopt you as a sticky!
Cheers!

Geez. This is good stuff. Thank you for compiling and posting it.

Awsome guide!  I know this is for a Phantom 2, while I have a 3 pro, this explains some of the concepts very well and that video testing CSC was a real eye opener!   Now, get going on one for Phantom 3, LOL

  I, for one,  would purchase it!

Thank you. Very helpful. Greetings Friends, Please help. Crashed and tore wire harness. Opened fusel ...

Need more details, you tore and replaced what wiring harness. Explain the crash and what was the craft doing when you got to it. Was it still powered on, we're the motors trying to spin but the props were stuck ... Info !

Need a line item on the importance of calibrations

Excellent reference guide, thank you!

This is a wonderful piece of work.  You obviously put a lot of effort into it.  Thank You!

Hi there,  I researched about getting a Phantom 2 Vision plus for about 9 months before bought one, and the guide you have produced is second to none.  Sir I salute your time and efforts as it makes my hobby safer and more fun.

Regards   Ian.

Thanks.. Excellent Guide

I really appreciate the work that went into this!

Since I am a New Member of DJI and the forum, I have been beating my head with all the documentation.

Hello All!

I obtained my DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ in a private trade, no dealer involved.

I have been flying R/C aircraft, cars, and single rotor glow fueled helicopters since 1989.  I am also a certificated private pilot Single Engine Land.  This latter part has been taken away due to the medical certificate is no longer in effect, and cannot obtain one any longer.

I have been flying a cheap competitors Quad Copter.  The Phantom and I just fell right into complete harmony!  The folks of DJI have a fine winner in this model!  (Although the wife isn't enthused.)

Any suggestion to help make this THE guide for Phantom owners is  always welcome.

I have just downloaded your guide!  I will be absorbing every piece of it!

FantOmas,

So far so good.  I have a question for the great wise one. (I am NOT being sarcastic!).

When one connects the DJI usb cable to use GroundStation 4.0.11, I have it as COM4.  However, I do NOT have the serial parameters.

I need the settings for serial communications.
This is what they are now:

Baudrate:   9600bps
Data Bits:          8
Parity:         None
Stop Bits:           1
Flow control:   None

What do I need to set these at so that the Ground Station Software can connect?  It is probably a simple change.  Perhaps Flow Control.  

This is surmised by the error I receive when trying to [CONNECT], and it states try to set handshaking.

Anyone whom knows the magic incantation is welcome to climb aboard!

[Dang it!  Broke one blade....  Too much confidence for a non trivial flight attempt.]

Nice job, well done.  The only problem Is that people need to take the time to read the Bloody thing.  If folks would only read the Manual half of these problems would not be here.

But Fantomas You did a great Job and did your part, I have already bookmarked your page for reading this evening.

well done - donnie

Excellent work.  Thank you for all the effort.
