P3a is much better bird due to lightbridge and a few other tweaks. With any purchase there is a chance of a dud and with any bird purchase there is a chance of fly away and crash. If you worry about everything that could go wrong you won't enjoy the hints that go right. In Australia the...

I do normally land it as well and have perfected the slow landing in most weather conditions. I just did the hand catch to remind myself of an alternative and to face my fear of blood loss. I am glad others enjoy flying the phantom as well. Lots of negative comments and only wanted a positive few

So now I have about 30 flights under my belt and apart from my arm being sliced on my first hand catch I feel an update and a comment on the bird is important. I have successfully hand caught the bird about 12 times now but am always cautious as to not loose blood. The stability and total FUN...
