Im back for another go

[jasonb777]

Been a while since I have posted on this forum due to the unfortunate mistake I made this past summer of flying too low over the ocean and submarining to Davey jones locker But I have been lurking around the forum ever so often. I just bought the v.30, it should be arriving this coming week and my question is is there anything I need to know from the v3.0 users that's different or is setting up the bird for flight the same as the last version? Any help would be great!

Welcome back. What bird did you have before? What happened with the ocean?

V3 Is a good bird

You know what they say about people who keep doing the same thing and expecting different outcomes...

Welcome back.

I had a phantom vision plus before. Long story short this past september I was flying out around the marshland and the ocean south of the outerbanks in NC and I was using my ipad mini and flying about 15 to 20 foot above the ocean and I was heading out to a commercial fishing boat moving at about 30 to 35mph in atti. mode and instead of watching the bird I was flying strictly FPV getting some fast action footage, well anyway in atti. mode you lose a couple feet vertically every 50 feet you fly horizontally and the wifi froze up for about 3 or 4 seconds just long enough to descend into the face of a wave. My foolish cocky agressive flying has been the destruction of many 6 channel walkera helis and quads But thats what I consider having fun, I like the barrel roles, flips, crashes, fires and explosions :lol: Just kidding. Well anyway I knew better before but should of listened to my conscience about flying so low too fast. This bird has not been modded yet, I have the stage two kit and want to go to stage four but not until I deal with this insufficient wire issue on the new V3s. And yes I have been following the V3 threads and contributing a little here and there...
