... in an open Space with GPS reception
Hi Guys,
I did take out my Phantom into the garden 6 meters ~ 20 feet wide by 20 meters ~65 feet long and flew 2 batteries.
Nice flying around, testing the sensitivity, the only nitbit is that my flight time was around 5-6 minutes only. Does that mean that my new LiPo batteries need to be formatted. I ahve to say that I was flying all time in GPS mode and it was a bit windy. Maybe that takes also more juice out of the batteries.
Anybody has experience what is the ambient wind speed limit for the Phanstom ?
I live in nearly 2000m height ~ 6560 feet over the sea level, ¿ does that have an influence as the Air is quite thinner then maybe at 500meter above sea level ?
I had a spare 1550 pelican case and the Phantom do0es fit in very nicely with the remote control as well as many spare LiPo batteries.
I will try to get on the weekend to the RC-Airport for more open space, but that is conditioned that my wife borrows me my car :lol:
I think I will also instal a red bright led on the battery door in order to see when it comes flying towards me.
After some training flights I will instal my oldie GoPro Hero first generation on it.
Thanks for reading and for any comments.
