p.s. sadly no storage mode on my charger. That's definitely the next upgrade though

80% was my target. How come the checker carried on reading 100% and appeared to nuke my battery?

I think I may have just learned something. I had a lipo at 100% which I needed to discharge for storage. I connected it up to a monitor and also a small charge checker so I could monitor the discharge. What happened was that the status stayed at 100% then the battery died and went ominously...

Thanks Ben. It looks like the CAA realised the dog's dinner it had made of the original issue of that document in April (2014/081) and made this amendment. I hadn't seen the July version, hence my confusion looking at the April version.

Could well be interference. Have you fitted the interference board which is now shipping with the zenmuse?

I'm not sure we've ever quite nailed exactly the guidelines for SUSAs (let's go with the CAA terms here) under 7kg, I.e. a Phantom or similar with camera. My reading of the document is that 150m remains the minimum distance for congested areas. However, others have told me that they believe the...

Thanks for that. Yep, sounds very sensible to me and that's what if expect Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been super impressed with Resource Group too. Could you advise what I'm likely to have to do on a flight test with the Phantom? Any particular manoeuvres? Also, do they let you refer to the reference cards during the test. (E.g. Emergency procedures?)

You're on my wavelength! By that logic it's about 24000ft which is a bit scary. Is that the kind of t figure people generally put down? There would surely be some performance issues before it got to that altitude wouldn't there?

Thanks for that. I'll assume I'm good to at least 9000AMSL in that case!

Does anyone know if there is a specified maximum operating altitude for the Phantom? (I.e. Relative to sea level, not above the take off point)
