    New Uk P3a Owner

    Hi fella, I'm in Bedfordshire, don't worry about crashing, the phantom 3 is pretty much idiot proof, just fly it gently until you get used to it

    Already bored - how do you stay excited to fly your P3?

    Get yourself some cheap quantum diy goggles from hk, I use my smartphone rather than the video screen it came with, for is a real buzz, especially when flying a long way out

    Losing drone signal after 400 m

    I managed a 2 kilometres flight at the weekend, with a clear path over open countryside, although I've started getting the occasional loss of transmitter signal, location seems to be a factor, but 400 metres is pretty poor

    battery cell voltages

    Hi, funny but when mine are discharged they are within 0.01, I do know from previous experience flying aircraft with lipo batteries that they tend to get stronger after initial use

    battery cell voltages

    Thanks for the advice, I've cycled the battery 3 times and the cells are now within. 0.03, which is an improvement, still showing 100%, so will keep my eye on things, think I'll get another battery anyway

    A question about hand catching the P3

    Hand catch is the best way to land, make sure the camera is facing away from you as its makes controlling the phantom less complicated, I keep mine at about 6 feet and grab with my right hand then just hold the throttle with your left thumb, couldn't be easier
