Hello all,
My name is Gareth
I have just purchased a used Phantom 3 standard from a friend who got it in a deal for a Team Associated R/C 1/8th scale buggy. so I'm new to flying a drone though I've only flown this particular drone twice.
It seems that the previous owner though has modified the transmitter somewhat to "improve range", in that it now has an additional two antenna and he warned me not to update the firmware as it causes the drone to only be able to fly within about 50 metres.
I have already ordered another set of rotors as a precaution, these arrived this morning.
I am now really excited to get the drone up in the air, though I've now learned that mine only has a range of about half a mile, it should be sufficient to get some good footage at even that distance. Since one of my work colleagues has asked me to do a video of his fishing lake.
