I got a little over 2 miles out today before starting to lose signal. Was fighting wind going out and came back with 48% battery when landing.

I always say, you gotta try everything and see what works for u! Looks like you found it Fanti, nice work[emoji41]

Hey gadgetguy,

what carry mounts are you using to carry the extra batts?

Battery plates that go between the struts and the body. I have two versions. The narrow white plastic ones sold by FPVLR.com and the fiberglass ones that were designed for the P2, but will fit the P3 if you drill an alignment hole.

I would like to find some that hang down the sides so its better for the props to do their job.

Made it back with ease and room to spare.

Under the VPS

Horizon makes some that are riveted to the sides of the struts. I like the removability and the nondestructive nature of the top plates, in case the bird needs to be returned for warranty. Just remove them, and they leave no damage behind.

Awesome! That battery is some find! How do you attach it under the VPS? Any pictures to share?

I started using electrical tape to zip the bats on recently, i find it saddle them to the leg to where they are more wind resistant both from prop wash AND from foward movement, and the tape weighs nothing.

Thanks! I'll try that! Great illustration of the technique! I might try gaffers tape instead.

When horizon said the V3 battery mod wasn't working because we was using battery trays that's when I first tried taping them on to see if that could possibly be why wasn't getting the type of results the V-3 promised, and while it did not increase that battery mods time to their websites promised numbers I did notice that it helped maybe milk out one minute out of all the battery mods I was trying!i'm not so sure that that's not because of the way they ride in between the legs so much as it is a weight issue. I think it just helps them get out of the props function!

Using 10 different kinds of batteries Tony

I was wondering the easiest way to mod it. If I can get 39 mins of flight time I don't care what it looks like.
