Hey, sorry forgot to mention I also have:
A bad habit you don't want to get into my friend! Some lazy reckless irresponsible long-distance flyers like myself use them to keep the throttle forward instead of having to hold it the whole time. If you do start doing this I warn you,remember that it's on there in critical moments of panic. In my early stages of using it I would forget to take it off on RTH situation and instead of stopping & landing the a/c would fly right past Home point[emoji41]
Ok, now I see the reason for elastic bands, at first I thought you Guys used it as a propulsion system! Lol.
You've already tried the heroin (antenna mod)...You'll be back chasing that high and looking for another fix soon!
No, I haven't tried the mod yet, I just ordered it today. But either way, you are right. Once I start on something I can't let it go till I have exhausted all possible upgrades, beat all records that I can and then get bored pass it on to someone else and start the next project, probably p5 by then.
Always have 3! Usually 1/2, 2&3 miles from homepoint[emoji41]I got 25,320 with a homemade windsurfer today ... Problem is, I only managed to come back 14k feet. Had to land short and go pick it up, wind kicked up on me. Lesson learned. Always have a backup plan and landing spot thoughtout before hand
Even though the maxxrange is big and challenging to find a case for it, boosters and booster batteries are a hassle to operate if you don't need them, there's nothing more freeing that hooking up the big Maxxrange unboosted and getting the same signal as a boosted mini panel
It can only fly on zero for so long! I don't know how those boys in Florida fly on zero for a whole mile. I can go about 2000 feet
Haha the rubber band trick is amazing I use it all the time I might even set my alarm clock next time for 15 minutes and take a nice nap. ( Turn around) nap again for another 13 minutes the last two minutes full flight control and land. Hahaha
Since you posted your dirty bird, here's my close call landing a few days ago. I'm glad i made it to land
Again, i made it 25k out .. only back halfway my "not gonna make it, oh **** moment" is at 1132, landing is right at the end. it gets more interesting at 13:30. Did not want to land in that farmers field, he has a shotgun. The place I landed was a more friendly yatcht club (but still short of my emergency spot). I love this!
