I'm like 1h drive from Shenzhen and sitting in Hong Kong... I put in my order with DJI Hong Kong on the 29th of September... I will be away for work from 14-18 October... IF that f@cking Mavic drone is not at my door step when I return, I'm going to light up some of those Chinese fire crackers!! ;-)

It sucks in the EU, as you most certainly will observe limited output, if you are one who enjoys the technical capabilities of your equipment and do some long range flying amongst other things. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I'll be having it with me when I go to places! Then I'll be looking out for the guys with their big Karma and Phantom back-packs, or no back-packs caus' they didn't bring theirs! Lol Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Just ordered mine, living in Hong Kong, I'd expect delivery on or preferably before the 15th! [emoji23] If not, I'll burn down their new flag ship store in Causeway Bay!! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

The Brits invented a word called "w@nkers", describing those kind of sad human beings (that you met at the RC airfield). Sorry for your experience, wish you better luck next time you go fly.

@RedHotPoker cheers mate.

Awesome. That's all I need, 14 m/s, good stuff, thanks.

Back from my training days a long time ago, I seem to recall that, that rule of the thumb, was the ballpark "number" for max endurance and not max range.. But then again, when talking about rotary quad choppers, maybe the difference between the two falls into the category of an overkill ;-)

For us mortals, that's about 11.5 m/s scientifically, and 11 m/s practically. Obviously this was the performance under the environmental conditions of that given day. Maybe on a Thursday, when the sun hits the plane slightly on the left side of the fuselage and the wind is more northerly, the...

And it's now early June, and no sign of the required DJI FirmWare update, so badly needed to make waypoint missions safe! P3P W323B GL300C, APP V.2.7.0, AIRCRAFT V.1.6.40, RC V.1.5.70, AUTOPILOT V3.2A. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

That sounds great, please let us know what practical results you come up with, I'd appreciate this info. Good stuff to know for those long range missions (preferably way beyond 3 miles and LOS!!!). Keep sending them up.. P3P W323B GL300C, APP V.2.7.0, AIRCRAFT V.1.6.40, RC V.1.5.70, AUTOPILOT...
