Hey all...I've been busy but still flying...just no chance to get on here lately and do any posts. I have been reading everything aboout EVO and what is with my XSP and the future. I too feel a little bruised by Autel and that they basically are calling the XSP a dead platform and we all need...

alchohol is OK for circuit boards, we used it all the time in military for cleaning circuits. I did the same as agustine and used some fine point tweezers as well.

That is a great flight and thanks for the SS's! It is a lot of fun when things go unexpectedly awesome...now I really need to get out to the country again after I update...again...lol.

I for one do not think Autel needs to "catch up" to any other drones...i see all drones as individual with each one having positive and negative aspects. i see The others needing to "catch down" to Autel' s price point for features included and what's in the box. You can pay twice the money...

Well since I spent the time sanding them down and balancing them I am definitely going to be flying with them...that's for sure. They picked the guy they knew would put some more money into buying all the goodies and setting up shop in his office now..lol.

@Donda - you do not send batteries back for warranty work...only the unit (without props or any accessories) and the remote.

Same props that I got two sets of unbalanced crappy finish ones...they super glued the nuts in I bet. P.S. I sent them the video of the balancer with their props on it...nothing but crickets.

I have gone round and round with my local Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Target stores about price matching. Wal-Mart recently changed their policy and will no longer price match...ANYTHING except for if it is listed on walmart.com for a price different than in the physical store. Best Buy is by far...

You can use a pretty simple graphics app called Irfanview to do what you want and always rename the files in bulk when you copy them over to your PC. It is a safe, no adware or spyware small app that I have used for years and will do batch resizing and a bunch of great little features for quick...

@AutelToronto - thanks for posting, I am curious about those instructions you were given and that you weren't facing the drone during your flight. I spent many years in the US Air Force working on ATC and Aviation radio networks and antenna arrays and what you are saying just doesn't add up in...

Wow, nice flight Agustine...awesome distance!

It is really a nice area buddy. Is that an old strip mine by chance?

Absolutely agree, trees will affect distance, and not just trying to shoot through them, most of the signal will get "absorbed" by the trees even when you can see your drone above the treeline. I usually go to 350-390 ft elevation when flying out further...and I always set my RTH height to 395...

Its the screw of the rotor blade of that Blackhawk helicopter right before the drone impacted the rotor and disintegrated...ok, so it's not that. on a more serious note, could that be part of the skid from a helo and someone taking a photo out the open door? What interests me is the OTHER...

@Normex - do you have a second location you can go to and test the same distances? I have had one direction from my backyard that I just cannot fly through, so I have been staying away from it. There isn't anything notable in that area like Air Traffic corridor where radar would be...
