Has anyone attached a mini Estes rocket to their phantom to see if it can be controlled with the significant increase in speed? Imagine being able to remotely activate a rocket booster in mid-air while moving in a forward direction. Almost like a NOS bottle for a car. What would happen? Can it...

Yes, good stuff though

So a few updates. I ordered a folding GPS Antenna mount from eBay and boy it made a big difference in how quickly the quad acquires GPS. I remember on several occasions it took a few minutes for the drone to catch GPS but with the new mount it's literally takes under a minute. I test flew, and...

Yes I used the original camera because I wanted all the telemetry and recording features. I'm looking into battery mods next. Maybe some antennas upgrades to. Right not I'm only getting about 900 feet in distance without loosing control. I will update as do more with this unit. Thanks for the...

Here is the YouTube video of it starting.

Hello everyone, this is my first post so take it easy on me! I saw a build like this a while back with a regular phantom 1. So I figured it would be cool to do it with mine. After several weeks I completed building what I like to call the "Phantom A12 Hybrid" What your looking at is all the...
