How much do the reflectors help in normal flight. I think I will try one and find out if it helps and if not I may go the directional antenna way like the Terminator

Straight up. I was sitting at a table and had 100% signal strength until it touched down then nothing and go app said disconnected. I watched it land perfectly through my spotting scope

There was nothing restricting the line of sight not even a blade of grass. I was on a hill about 20 feet high overlooking a perfectly flat field with no vegetation at all. The field is barren waiting to be planted. Is there a different antenna either on drone or transmitter that would help

tried landing my p3a in remote spot and it lost communication with aircraft. I was doing this about 3000 feet away but within sight, was watching it through a spotting scope. No camera or commands could be sent or received. I thought that it had crashed but when I got to it it was just sitting...

They told me an 8+ to 10 has a 90 day return period and the OB (open box) has full manufacturers warranty

Yea, you have to watch it. Sometimes they will have no used ones then the next day they will have 4

How was the quality and range of the flir one. There may be a way to use an app like screen stream to stream the screen to another phone or tablet. If the quality ts good enough I may give it a try. To have access to a $4,000 camera and not be able to use it is frustrating.

Yes that would be nice but since I already have the drone and camera I was hoping to put together the rest myself

I relatively new to the drone world so please excuse my ignorance. I have access to a flir vue pro (camera only) through work and was wondering what it would take to use it on my P3A. I will only be using this at night so I won't need the day camera, can the flir somehow take the place of the...

B&H photo $599.95 including shipping

is $600 a good price for an open box full manufacturers warranty P3A from a reputable retailer

Thanks. If I make a way point at the landing site will it land or just hover. if I get this to work somehow can I kill the power to the bird and the RC and let it sit for a while and start it up using the remote and fly it back home. My ultimate goal would be to use it to remotely take photos of...

Tried searching but couldn't find any answers. New to drones and I'm in the process of getting a p3a and have a question. Can I land my drone using fpv in a remote location. On my property I have a pond that's just over the hill from my house and I would like to set it down around the pond to...
