    Controller Battery

    We know there’s a shelf life for intelligent flight batteries for the P4P, largely based on usage, storage etc. What about the controller? I’ve had my P4P nearly two years with HEAVY use!!! I suspect the battery in the controller is fading. If so, what are the options? Buying a new controller...

    Controller Beeping

    Heeeeelp!!! My P4P Controller is repeatedly beeping and won’t immediately connect. This happened only every blue moon at first. Now it’s happening more regularly. I spend 5 to 10 minutes powering both the drone and controller off and on before it finally connects. By then I’ve lost significant...

    Thanks John. There were several spotters on the ground. We were in constant communication.

    I don’t give a rats *** what you BELIEVE. If the telemetry wasn’t there you wouldn’t believe I managed to stay below 400feet or even traveled 6 miles. One could make an argument that any flight is “dangerous.” The fact is there will always be people like you passing judgement and spewing...

    Well first I fly for hobby, no other ‘functional purpose.” Whether it’s for a time lapse, or just great pics and video — it’s all still part of the hobby, and there’s always a risk when any drone goes up. In this case it was a long distance flight, in which I took steps to minimize risks. There...

    Flew 6.7 Miles out last night, then landed. My longest one-way distance. My furthest round-trip flight was 5.5 Miles the night before. Spotters were used throughout. Now that I’ve done it, I don’t plan to try it again. My spotters are also glad it’s over.
