    Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

    You're right, but I had no wind and brought it in with a whole 4% left on the battery. LOL

    Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

    What was your battery setup for this flight. The longest distance I've been able to fly with my P3P on a standard battery was just under 60,000'.

    Sad that my flying days are over Monday

    Keep flying my friend but don't post it. It's all about the chase and having fun.

    Tired of painting the house? Soon you won't have to! Drone painters to the rescue!

    In the video, you can see a mist coming back on the drone. If you were using paint, it wouldn't be long before everything would be gummed up and unusable. Good luck with this!

    I don't know very many painters who have a commercial pilots license. Call the FAA! LOL

    Avoided disaster yesterday

    Was your screen displaying a "Compass Error" message? I've noticed problems like this after not flying for a week or two. Same as you, I go out and do a calibration, get ready to take off, and there is a compass error. But I haven't taken off while having a compass error message. It always...

    My P4 Range Blows

    Thank You for an honest opinion of the P4. Most people here can't seem to admit it's a smoking POS. Yes, DJI will upgrade, but for now, hold on to your cards.

    "The **** point has been updated, please check the map ."

    Your P3A hot chick is talking about the Obama Administration's policies. Yes, the "Low Point" has been updated!

    My P4 Range Blows

    I'd like to get a P4 but from what I'm hearing, they're not worth it. So, you have one that only went out 8600'? That sounds poor to me, I like flying long so I think I'll wait until the P5 or 6 come out.

    My P4 Range Blows

    It's just a little important to know what the new P4 can and can't do. You may like to fly in circles around your house but other just like to fly. To do that, we need to know what the P4 can do in order to make a wise decision as if to buy one or keep the good old P3's. You said yours only...

    I'm sorry to say, but,

    Did you do a long flight to see how far it could go and still receive a good signal, and make it home safely? I've flown my P3P for a total distance of just under 60,000' with no wind and landed with 5% battery. In a long distance flight, with no wind, I've gone out over 22,000' and returned...

    RTH

    PHX is way to big for me, with big city problems. Northern AZ is cooler and less crowded.

    RTH

    Your signal is as good as where you live. More houses, wires, cars....the less distance on the signal. I live in the Arizona desert and there is nothing to interfere with the signal or the Phantom.

    RTH

    It looks high, but I was flying up slope from where I launched. We've measured the ground out there and it's 350' higher in elevation from where we take off. Go up a slight hill like that seems to help the signal stay stronger for longer.

    I'm sorry to say, but,

    Fly between some trees and find out. I'd keep it away from any thing, no matter what they say.
