Needs Lito X1 Plus Batteries, UK1.

The combo that holds the EASA C1 and UK1 certifications is the DJI Lito X1 Fly More Combo Plus (DJI RC 2). In the EU and UK, the aircraft from this combo supports the use of the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus or the Propeller Guard, but does not support using both simultaneously.

I don’t think the Lito X1 has UK1 stamped on the airframe though? :thinking:

If it helps, don’t forget you can use the UK / EU Class Mark column for any edge cases:

I can’t see how it’s UK legal without the airframe being stamped UK1.
Lucie on Live Chat took a photo of their office X1 Plus

That looks like a sticker that’s been put on it afterwards though? :thinking:

I suspect it’s like the Mini 5 Pro that ships with additional stickers inside the box for those who want to use the Plus batteries?

If it helps, this is on the box of a Lito X1:

If a member provides a photo of a Lito X1 with UK1 stamped on the airframe (rather than a sticker), we will of course add it to the list.

Until then, selecting this UK1 option will allow you to get the results for any UK1 class marked drone:

Can I suggest an improvement to Good 2 Go.

I have Drone Scene on my phone. Good2Go. Answered all questions and Yes, I can fly.
Except I’m in a FRZ and no permission.
The map shows the zone, location is on, but it still says I’m good to go.

I Know there is a caveat, but the last bullet point at the bottom of a big green YES screen seems a bit lacking given the potential consequences. Could the app check the location and if its in a FRZ, ask up front if we permission.

For clarity, the last bullet point says:

  • Use the Drone Scene map to check for any NOTAMs or Airspace Restrictions in the area before you take off.

Which I think we’d all hope was quite clear in terms of instruction :blush:

Yes, it absolutely could :slight_smile:

Could we expand that check beyond FRZs though, and have it look in to all airspace “things” in your current location? (eg. NOTAMs, etc.)

A caveat to that feature though, it would naturally only work if you’re using Good 2 Go from the exact spot you’re about to immediately take off from, rather than planning a future flight.

Going beyond FRZ’s might be a rather deep rabbit hole. For now, I’d leave them out, or just mention there are NOTAMs in the area.

Good point I didn’t think of.
FRZ’s are a bit of a biggy though so finding a way to get it in would be useful. Maybe adding a Good2Go button on tthe map. A tap to use the current location or drag a pin to the map then take them to the good2go page. That way NOTAMs or anything else could be added later without further clutter on the map.

I’d put a Dronescene button between the G2G results and summary alongside Start Over.
