Phantom 1.1.1 has no sat number indicator. ;)

I was flying in my normal location where I've logged probably 80 flights this summer and was in full control of the Phantom. Next thing I know I simply lost control. It was in ATT/GPS mode and doing fine but when I switched it to full GPS mode just to make a smooth return to where I was...

just picked up two of them today. Testing them out this weekend.

My bad...make that ten "C notes" in the air. This correction doesn't make me any less nervous. :)

Re: What is the biggest and best battery I could use on Phan Check the fine print on that lifetime warranty. Replacement value goes way down after one year. Not really a lifetime warranty, not without mentioning the exceptions. Personally, I see zero need for a battery to be made...

In the spirit of MadMitch88 vid ( viewtopic.php?f=4&t=25143) I felt I should own up to my own close call from earlier this summer. This is part of a larger video I'm working on. Taken before I had a gimbal. That's my brother, nephew and I sitting in the golf cart getting mobile with the quad...

Re: What is the biggest and best battery I could use on Phan Same link twice and wow those are pricey. :o An eBay search on Tenergy battery 3s 2700 mAh is half that price and that's only one brand out of several. Not found one larger than 2700 that will fit a stock Phantom setup....yet...

Anyone in the central Ohio area around? I'm curious if there are any others out there locally flying quads.

When I was researching the Phantom before I pulled the trigger I ran across an article that help put things in perspective about the hobby. Wish I could find it again. But one of the topics that has proved to be invaluable advise was keeping flight logs. I'm not talking about keeping explicit...

With the Phantom, battery, CF blades, Stella gimbal, and GoPro 3 making up about a C note total cost in the air I'm nervous every single flight. :shock:

My latest video. http://youtu.be/R3FNjCDuVZQ?list=UUVJx- ... hZj_sdyG6A

I'd really appreciate that when I'm 'quoted' the entire statement is included...not just part of it. Paraphrasing is a slippery slope to ride. You left out this.....

There are countless examples of stadium flyovers available on youtube. This one is one of my favorites although I personally would never try this or anything like it. Between 4 1/2 minutes through the end of 6 minutes that drone is really up there. :shock: http://youtu.be/siafOuJwVzs

Maybe I was just brought up differently to be able to recognize this. I'm not the morality police but this is a very rude question to ask even ask someone. It's really none of their business. :shock: If they are really interested they can find the information very easily themselves.

Just to clarify my single word affirmative response.... "Resume time" All this feedback is based on about 180+ flights (so far) and the vast majority of them using CF props...just in case anyone wanted to know backgorund. CF props do increase flight time and provide greater lift than the stock...
