Phantom RC

[Flychatt]

Does anyone know if the RC that came with my phantom 3 advanced will only work with that particular phantom 3. Can I purchase another phantom 3 without the RC and use this controller which I really love. On the same subject is it possible to use this RC on a new quadcopter I might build myself? If so I could save a few dollars .

You can link an RC to a P3. Check out this video.

If you know the protocol of the coded data , you will be able to use it on your newly built drone. To me it looks very difficult.

But you should be able to link to another P3 easily.

Did I understand your question correctly?

While this is possible, it will not be convenient if you switch Phantoms often. You'll need to relink the remote controller each time you fly it with a different Phantom.

Your RC will work with any P3A or P3P....you just have to link the Phantom to the controller. You are unlikely to be able to purchase a Phantom without a controller. You won't be able to use the RC with a self build, as it uses lightbridge for sending/receiving.

Thanks all...you answered my questions!

You can, but it'll be more expensive than buying a new (complete) Phantom after adding in the cost of the camera/gimbal too.
