標題: Parrot, please hear what we want about Bebop!
Let's raise our voices to Parrot about what we think of Bebop and what we want them to do. Please write in English (or French) so they can read. I will send them the link to this thread. Here is my wish list:

Software:
RTH with shorter timeout when signal lost (user configurable preferred)
Headless mode
Flight plan (as promised)
Follow me mode
3rd party gamepad support
Drone Academy: able to remove unwanted pilot records
Drone Academy: pilot record set to private by default

Hardware:
Battery with more mAh
Spare parts
Skycontroller unbundled
Flight lights
Carrying case

Anything to add?

Good point! I was always wondering why Bebop comes with built in flash memory instead of removable SD card. I thought this may be related to the complicated image processing need to stablize the picture. That may require faster access memory that Parrot can control the component quality. Anyway, worth voicing out this wish.

Those are pretty good points!
Someone is really angry about the late delivery of Flight Plan. I agree. Parrot shouldn't have printed that on the packaging box if it is due to release by end of 2015 (still pretty much a promise more than anything).

One more point: it is better for FreeFlight to give a vibration alert in case of wifi connection lost (similar to battery low alert) in case the player is not watching the screen.

Glad to see that they replied to our thread

... obviously the freeflight 3 app for bebep is a beta testing product... so many functions which indicated in the advertisement and on the box are not ready for the market yet... especially for Android, where is the DRONE ACADEMY?!?

Well, Parrot should have delivered that to Andriod users on time. But I don't think you have missed much. It feels like it is some beta version still under development.

Just remember one more irritating point:

Parrot, can you please make the video recording indicator a bit more clear? "Solid Red" is not recording and "Blinking Red" is. This is not good. I am busy flying the Bebop and I do not have half a sec to look at the screen to confirm if it is Solid or Blinking. Why don't you just make it like "Solid White" is not recording and "Solid Red" is recording?

Here is another point:

Parrot, can you put up a confirmation popup to the "reset to factory setting" button? It is a bit of a risk if in the middle of the flight this button is pressed by mistake. Most critical one will be network settings. An intended change can cause connection lost. Honestly, does this button need to be on every setting screen? I think it is of very infrequent use. It should be placed at somewhere not so accessible to avoid any unintended use.
