Wooh .... new kid in town ! Well done DB !! I know you never give up ...

I guess Midwest horizon fpv can provide some news

No sorry, there was a link on the website but now it's closed and, like you can't find any facebook account for horizon U.K ?? May be you can try by this forum, Horizon U.K. is Pcdeveloper2014 here

Seems they are switching to a Facebook store ...

Glad you can recovered your bird ! And yes their is a learning curve in this game, managing the wind, temperature and so on. 57 % at the turnaround may be a little optimistic in this kind of weather !! Thanks for sharing, I'm happy to see that your Maxxrange Antenna worked very well, event...

Phantom 4 is still in the Dji store here in France

If it can help : each time I want to fly a new battery, I made a flight test in a big field near home, in almost the same style I fly in long distance flight ( 100% throttle, GPS mode). Then I go to my flight log in DJi Go and replayed the flight to see which battery volt/% I reached at mid...

I find that 64% is the sweet spot to go back with a > 95% of chance to go home and maximize the distance. My location is a marshland (except the last 1/2 mile ) and if my P3 don't go back home I'll never recover it. And I can't afford ( mentally) to loose my P3, I' m an "old"pilot and I'll...

Well done Alan I feel you in my gearbox !! Which battery mod ? 2% is very very low ... when I set my own record at 11523 m I landed at 24% ! With a MS 5200 ( and my camera mod )

Yeah, but I have another one for video, so this one is my " FPV P3 " and my guinea pig for any idea I want to test. It works fine and I'm happy with this mod because now when I take off, it's smooth and doesn't go back like it do with just the 4400 under the VPS. I can't imagine with a 6600 ...

Back from Christmas &NYD holidays and lot of things happened ! Digdat I'm with you for the camera may be because Ive done almost the same thing in December ! I trashed the gimbal too, but for me it's not only a matter of weight but overall a matter of COG , to be able to lift big battery and...

Well done Pablo, I remember a post where you said that 60000 was reachable, you just do it ! With a 6600 split like for your last record or with the 8800 split you just burned and want to sell !! Lol

All you want to know about battery mod is here Dual Battery Mod At the end of the fist post there a doc done by Digdat which summarized the state of art in battery mod including this little clip I used too but the original DJI phantom 3 Phantom 2 Easy battery mods adaptor I agree,very smart...

I have only 6 flights with battery mod so I'm not an expert but from what I have understand and experienced : 1- Dji go app give you a good level of the overall % battery and V/cell but the time remaining is out. You'll never see more than 25 mn because that's why the Phantom 3 is programmed for...

When I change my shell last week, I don't, but if DJI send me a new one in garantie I'll do !! Like you I think the original shell isn't strong enough to deal with this kind of load
