Howdy and Welcome! One tip......................... you can never have too many batteries!
Yes i cant wait to get backNice bet you have awesome footage of the Petons. Had my honeymoon there wish I had a drone then (sigh)
I would also invest in some prop guards because I can almost promise you they will save you a lot of heartaches and quite possibly your phantom itself. some people on this forum say they are a waste of money but I think they're a wise (but small) investment especially with new fliers.
these are the removable kind so you can take them on and off as needed. for example, you can remove them when you need to transport your aircraft then put them on when you're ready to fly.

also if someone calls my mobile would i loose connection to the drone?
No need to do anything to get more range.i have seen on the internet people using some kind of foil reflector to boost signal. does this really work? also i have seen people opening the controller and doing some mods and putting a much more powerful antenna to get more distance. Please advise
I flew 3000ft out and was getting weak video signal and this distance isn't very far as to the capabilities of the p3aNo need to do anything to get more range.
the P3 out of the box will go further than you have battery power to bring it back.
That doesn't mean that your P3 will only fly 3000 ft under other conditions.I flew 3000ft out and was getting weak video signal and this distance isn't very far as to the capabilities of the p3a
I was above a railway with a train flying at 65ft. Could that be a factor?That doesn't mean that your P3 will only fly 3000 ft under other conditions.
There are many variables that affect range and it's quite possible it will fly much further if you experiment with it.
