Nice start. You must've been really cruising. From your background in the Mav arena, this must've felt like you was flying a tank. Interested to see where it goes from here. Thanks for sharing and jumping in

There will be a leaning curve but drone is not as big as I imagined. The RC on the other hand is a monster and will take a little getting used to . I'm waiting on some good weather now and it will be stock runs for a while till I get my money back up

 

[Aumoe]

Pushed it a little further out today. It still has a good bit left stock p4p

You're doing 30 stock already, you could be a real problem over here[emoji41]

What is the max stock run so far that you know of ?

 

[Aumoe]

I did make it out a little further. The wind was kicking at about 15mph

I'm also curious. My stock personal best is 31,763.

Good run Joe . But i have a question does using a modded Remote = a stock run ? Not trying to say anything just curious as to how they roll over here. thanks bro

No offense taken My run was a modded RC with a stock P4. Although, I did tweak the flight controller. The spirit of these leaderboards seem to be two classes. Stock battery vs non-stock battery. I'm guessing the classification of battery modded vs non-battery modded are popular because it's easier to validate based on the flight data. Outside of those two classes, it's too easy to cheat. For 100% stock radio and bird, you seem to have the record. Well done!

I'm actually building a battery modded P3 right now, but I'm still not clear on the requirements of those super modified flights. It would be nice if someone sponsored a new leaderboard thread.

Looking at your flight data, it looks like you are targeting about a 34mph airspeed. I researched many of these record breaking runs and they also seem to target aprox 34mph. At 34mph I was getting about 5 3/4 miles (11 miles total). When I dropped it down to about 30-32 mph, I broke the 6 mile mark (12 miles). Have you experimented with a slightly slower speed? I did have super low wind that day, <2mph, so maybe that was more of a contributor.

Thanks bro was checking so I could modded my RC and still do stock runs without having to buy a 2nd one .I'm not sure about the record have not looked though the whole thread.i know a few guys have taken down there flight and i believe they stop keeping track a while ago. I do change a few parameters to

These flights are old, but only the battery modded flights seem to pass us. I think we beat all of the antenna boosted. Clearly this P4 forum is a very open class. But because the achievements also list antenna mods vs non-antenna mods, I think our flights are notable achievements.

Been a mavic guy for over a year have some records over there . Only had the P4P for a couple of weeks so about 15 20 flights . I've been trying to find a good tilt and speed but it's been windy an hard to compare runs.

nice flight Joe, I have not tried flying over in that area . I do most of my long flights south west of there. But it would be some nice video with the mountains.

So this thread shows that it most certainly can get the range it says and this thread shows battery power is teue, so why are there 99 threads of people so happy about not buying a P4 because believe me, the P4 feels cooler and it flies smoother faster and better.

I love my P4 but my P3 Advanced will do 50+MPH any day with no tail wind.
Figure that one out ; )

Always been the thought that p4 should be throttled back to win records, but I believe unknown caller claimed his record p4 flight was done full stick foward the entire flight

very nice video. great spot to take off from. great line of sight for signal.
