All of those everyone else has listed, plus I have heard the following:
- Will it crash if it gets out too far
- Will the blades cut you if they touch you
- Have you ever crashed it
- Can you lift things up and drop them
- And the one that caught me off guard... can I use that to spy on my...
I originally had mine mounted to the bottom just like this guy did:
For whatever reason, it had an impact on long range flights with the 2.4 signal, so I moved mine to this location:
I trimmed the tabs off the grey TAGG collar mount and then used industrial Velcro to attach the TAGG mount...
The stage 4 is awesome. You may very well see 3.1 miles. I can get out to about 2.2 miles in my area but my 2.4 starts to drop off. It appears to be noise on the 2.4 frequencies that cause the signal to attenuate. If you have some wide-open farm land without any power lines and especially...
I honestly didn't notice any degradation in FPV by using the app. It may be degraded, but nothing that I noticed.
Oh man thanks alot, now you've got me worried about iRec. I haven't tried it since updating to iOS8. I'll have to check that out tonight. I'll report back.
BTW, I'm thinking...
I know this wasn't meant to me a comical thread, but I have to thank y'all for the laugh. The mental images of you guys dog fighting birds with your Phantom just strikes my funny bone.
If you trade your Phantom in on one of these then you can have all kinds of fun...
As advertised, the 2.4 bird antenna package makes it easier to "aim" and maintain the video. I didn't notice much range increase, but it didn't seem like I was threading a needle to keep the video.
I plan to take a video of a long range flight either this weekend or next (depending on the...
When you turn the motors off does that one stop spinning sooner than the other 3 ? Also check if that motor is warmer than the other 3 after flight.
These are brushless motors, so the only friction points are two tiny bearings. There is also a chance that you have the notorious tight bushing...
Yeah, I probably wasn't very clear when I said it wasn't horrible... but if I weren't doing long distance flights, I might not have ever noticed (or cared) and probably wouldn't have looked into it. I put this in the antenna mods section because most of the people that visit here are also...
I just thought I would share my experience with the forum. When I started enjoying the long distance flying and antenna modifications, I also decided it would be a good idea to put a GPS tracker on my bird. After some research, I decided to go with the TAGG system. I originally found this...
Re: FPVLR antennas on RC and Phantom - 5.8 and 2.4 both side
If your results are anything like mine, you might end up buying the 2.4 amplifier. I have the FPVLR 6.25 helical on my 5.8 (unamplified) and it can still reach out further than my amplified 2.4 half-sphere. Now, I am pushing...
