I've kept my P3S on the latest firmware and never had a problem with it, and have gotten over a mile flight distance with no mods. Very happy with it.

Not all of us live in fear, trust me they are outliers.

When I first got my P3 I ordered a few things from UAV Bits and they very kindly sent me a set of stick extensions as a 'thanks for the order'. I really like them, after having used them I'd pay $8 to buy a set. Besides the height I also like the bigger 'pad' for control. Joystick Extensions

not in a public park they don't. Not in any sense. Then again there's no group more saturated with a sense of entitlement than old, white baby boomers (which is why I think commenting on the crabby old white people is completely fine and accurate)

Pretty good flight from my front step this evening. I'm really happy with this for a stock P3S. I didn't even get a single weak signal warning, I just chickened out! Living in the country has it's perks. Should have pushed it that last bit to call it an even mile! My house is in a valley so...

on the bright side it has a great patina now! like a rat rod phantom

my grandfather is a lifelong RC plane enthusiast in Centerport and has basically given up flying, he just builds them now. All of his old flight areas are gone and from what he says it's impossible to fly anywhere. From what he has said LI is not an RC friendly place in general (he hates most...

Wow that's a huge difference

I have blackhawk's that pass pretty low over my house every so often and I swear they are easily under 400'. So I asked a guy at work who is a pilot for the ANG. He said they are supposed to be 500'+ but that basically "we do whatever we want". Just gotta keep ears open, although I'd love to...

They are awfully coy about that on their site!

Their headquarters are in Washington.

not gonna lie I've been riding KTM dirt bikes for 15 years so the orange is like a moth to a flame for me! Plus getting a case and a real SD card, with a US based company... it's very tempting. I'll keep hemming and hawing but another deal like what I missed this week would be hard to pass up.

I'm in the same boat, getting ready to trade up out of a P3S. I hesitated on the P3A lightning deal, and hadn't done enough research to react to the XSP deal. It's enough of an investment that I hesitate with the XSP... has it really been proven? Certainly not the same extent as the P3A.
