Re: [Update] Firmware 3.3.0 available for Bebop DroneWhen I launched FFP today it showed that my Bebop has a firmware upgrade so I upgraded it to the 4.0.4 firmware and now it's too unstable and the battery usage was too high (just about 4+ minutes from a previous flight time of 7+ minutes ) so I did a couple of things to try to fix it :1. Reset to Factory Settings3.

Uninstall & reinstall FFPAll these did not fix the stability. My last recourse is to revert back to 3.3.0. so I need help in:1. Download the 3.3.0 firmware - can't find it in the Parrot website. Where can i find it? How do I revert/downgrade the firmware? Re: [Update] Firmware 3.3.0 available for Bebop Drone This has happened to mine too, I just updated and now reading these posts I wish I hadn't.  It it was flying perfectly before the update, now it just flips to the left and soon I try taking off.  The update also deleted all media files from the drone, not a big problem (for me anyway) but would have been nice to have been warned about it so I could transfer first.  How i.e. can it be fixed?!

Hi Dave,the Skycontroller 1 (colored and Black edition) have a dual Wi-Fi, meaning your connect the device (smartphone or tablet) to the skycontroller and then the skycontroller connects to the drone.

Using FreeFlight Pro you need to connect the device to the Skycontroller's Wi-Fi on the first hand and then start the app, you should see the Skycontroller on the controller page. Then, back in the main page, press "connect to a drone" bar to select your drone on the device list within FreeFli
