    calling it a day with the p3s

    I no longer have a phantom, it went yesterday, the crashed AQ600 is now just about rebuilt, but its now an S600, and with the Gatwick incident i decided now was the time to move the P3 on to a new home

    calling it a day with the p3s

    Bit of an unfortunate update to this, so the plan was to sell the P3 and fit FPV to the big AQ600, just have the one drone, so put p3 up for sale, fitted fpv to big bird, went for a trial flight and ruddy well crashed it, when i fitted the fpv i must have replaced the compass puck 180 degree...

    calling it a day with the p3s

    Okay, first up i do really like the P3s, but i dont fly multirotors so much these days, more into rc flying wings and what with the new laws, rules and general B/S that is set to come into being, decided its time to sell the p3. I will keep my big 600 quad maybe graft all the bits into a better...

    P3s range limit

    Guys, sorry if this has been done a 1000 times but easier to ask before trying, i rarely fly my p3 to the max, one time i did this (limit set to 500m) it lost signal and after a bit RTH kicked in, but will this be the same if i turn the limit of, say it went 600m and lost signal it should just...

    P3s and high spec sd card?

    So got a P3s and been using it with the 8G card it came with, all good, but recently i swapped out to a high spec 32G samsung pro extreme sd card and now the video seems to stop after about a minute or so, i formatted the card in the app, i guess i just need to go back to the 8G one, any idea`s...

    calling it a day with DJI

    Just to say i ended up selling the Xiaomi, though it has more features than the P3s, it did not fly as nice, so looks like im sticking with DJI after all....for now

    DJI Mavic Air

    I think i would prefer the mavic as it has become a well proven drone, not that i will be buying

    calling it a day with DJI

    Yes its the 4K version, I would say this drone is okay as a first half decent GPS camera drone and a notch better than some of the other "Chinese" quads in the price band, a lot of people that have this model rate it very highly, but i do much prefer how the Phantom behaves in the air where it...

    calling it a day with DJI

    Hi, im back, i have decided i dont like the Xiaomi Mi drone, its to fickle to get it flying, the flight itself is a bit odd, like the gains are to high, and now i find out the props have to be replaced after around 20 flights as the hubs wear out, looks like i am eating humble pie and sticking...

    calling it a day with DJI

    A little update, after a very long shipping time, involving a paypal dispute, the Xiaomi Mi 4k has landed, no chance to have a flight yet but the drone does look very well made
