Cold weather flying

[Steve J Miller]

I just received my P3A a couple weeks ago and living in WNY the weather hasnt been cooperating to be able to fly.

I was finally able to get it out yesterday but as it was my 1st flight I kept it brief and did not fly it far at all. It was 45f and overcast.

The weather for the next couple weeks looks cold (btwn 20 & 32 degrees Fahrenheit) I see in the manual not to fly below 32 but I know the recent firmware update addressed some of the issues. I was wondering if it is ok to fly above 20F/-7C ?

Thanks!

I've only flown a few times in under 32 degrees F. i warm up my battery before hand and i hover for like a minute before going on with my flight and havent had any issues. Also, i try not to go full throttle.

The lowest temperature I've used my P3S in is -15°C (5°F). The Phantom performed flawlessly, but my fingers weren't too happy after that flight.

I live in Vermont and have flown a few times in temps ranging from 15-35 F. While light snowing a few times, flying up to 150 ft for about 5 - 10 min flights. It does seem the second 1/2 of the battery seems to go quicker than the first.
