    UAV-Outlet Pre-Order Status

    I ordered the Pro version off a 3rd party seller on Amazon last Friday. It shipped Saturday and arrives to me on Thursday. Drone nerds had them (or at least had offered to set one side for me) last I checked with them a couple days ago. I also found a local shop an hour north of me in NJ (USA)...

    New flyer looking for some help increasing range

    Hi Guys, I recently purchased a new Phantom 2 Vision and I'm having a great time with it. One thing I'd really love to do is extend my range a bit--primarily my fpv range since I think I'll get more mileage there then boosting my remote signal. Sound right? Anyway, I'm not looking to do...
