Stuck the landing!

Such a great sight to see. Did it remain powered on the whole time on the ground?

I'll have to check flytrex , but you see my last screenshot. I don't know what happened at 10 miles but the device I was using set the go app wasn't responding so I switched over to my iPhone and then kept going.so unfortunately it's going to be broke up into two logs. But at least I had Flytrx running it'll all be one log

**** . pilot got hungry stop for lunch.

Yep I had to shut the batteries off when I got there, and because I had Flytrx running, I could see that it was still sitting there the whole time and nobody ran off with it[emoji41]

Here's a screenshot I took after 75,000 feet

There is that low you feel until you spot your drone out in the field and than your all happy.

You guys wanted to know how far this thing can go boosted?
Well I just took the terminator hooked up the boosters and took it out past 19 miles! Now I just got to go get the **** thing[emoji41]View attachment 52490

I have Flytrex, I knew it was there the whole time and I knew it landed on its feet because the battery voltage was still running the whole time I was driving towards it[emoji41]
Flytrex is my blue security blanket

What did you use for boosters?

 

[mnewxcv]

are you running the terminator antennas upside down?

I am in a more urban area where I want to fly my P3p in wifi congested area and also behind some trees . Can you test the Terminator vs Maxx Range in such conditions to see which is better ? Also which is lighter and more practical to carry around ? Most of us wont be using tripods so is the Maxx range much lighter and less cumbersome than the Terminator ? Also have you tried the bigger extreme Terminator that the Midwest Fpv has on their website ?

Yes!
I use the FPVLR printed bracket, and the center of gravity works better when it's upside down

Nice one DB 19 miles new record well done

 

[Mark The Droner]

That's just crazy.

That's the new world record for a one way flight.

It's like they said on the Terminator site three weeks ago before they fixed the spelling.

"It's insaine"

Even though I'm standing in wide-open and on a hill that particular path I have to pass right through a small city, I usually get a little noise just in the city area.
Next time I have a Southwind that flight path takes me straight over houses to my downtown and that's a good test for congestion!

Terminator 900g
Maxxrange 590g

These are numbers I read here on the forum and are approximate, I have not weighed them myself

SK check DB's Healthy drones links he flow over a small town with both antennas. It looks like Terminator did better.
