    Original battery question

    I have the first generation Phantom and have a question about the battery. It looks like the battery is a little swollen, compared to the aftermarket battery I have. Maybe I have never noticed this but are your batteries slightly swollen? Thanks! Ed

    Show off your CUSTOM, MODIFIED, TRICKED OUT Phantoms

    On the Simon landing gear mounts, it looks like you can make the height you want by cutting the tube to desired length. Does the brackets mount in existing holes or do you need to drill them? Thanks! Ed

    Show off your CUSTOM, MODIFIED, TRICKED OUT Phantoms

    The Siemen landing gear is nice, how tall is your Phantom now....I would like to see if it will still fit in my case if I bought these for my Phantom? Also those of you that painted your Phantom, did you disassemble the Phantom to paint? Thanks! Ed

    Needing 5 volts for FPV

    There are 2 wires in a small slot that are suppose to be 5V, It is to the left of the battery door and between the landing gear screws. Mine are barely visible and was told this could be used to power a FPV.

    Moving "Guts" to different frame

    I am sure this is very doable and mostt likely need to lengthen the wires. The components need to be secured and could possibly use velcro. If I ever damage my frame to the point it needs replacing I will do a 450.

    DJI Phantom Shell

    I wanted to mention a vendor on ebay is selling the shells delivered from hong kong for $91. Sounds steep but if dealers in the US don't have them this is a good alternative.

    first flight - video

    That is a very nice first flight. You are more daring than me when flying between objects that are close together.
