Lost my P2V+ last week. Read through the forums for tips and watched many videos on how to fly the thing before I got the unit. First flight went well. Second flight later in the day at a park was a disaster. The thing was roughly 150ft high and 500ft away. It lost connection momentarily and when the FPV came back on, it was showing RTH icon briefly then connection was lost permanently. I left the controller alone and it just kept going the opposite direction until LOS was lost. Drove around the area and wasn't able to find it. Told my work about it the next day when they saw my reward flyer for it. An hour later they told me someone found it and it's in my office. Came in the office and this was sitting on the floor:
I'm doubtful that I will recover the first V+ so I'm taking precautions. Got another unit this week and purchased a GSM/GPS tracker (TK102) for it. It's been pretty reliable and doesn't seem to interfere with the signal to/from the V+. I have it on tracking mode so it will only text you the location when you call it. It's been pretty dead on when I have it in my car. Down to the exact parking space in a parking lot.
Just want to share the hilarious paper replica of the Phantom. :lol:
