Thanks for your responses. I did not realize I was pushing the envelope height wise, given that I regularly read of people flying 2000+ feet away, distance wise. Is there a difference between height and distance? My logic tells me no but I am not an engineer... I said I went into Atti mode...

It seems the only time I write is when I have problems, and I do again. I have been doing some antenna combination testing, and doing some relatively high (for me) testing (yes I know the FAA ceiling is 400'). I usually fly at night over a golf course, so if (when) it comes down, it can cause...

A beer is 12 fluid oz. The conversion is not quite that simple. You appear to be converting 12 oz in weight (not volume). A 12 fluid oz Bud Light Can weighs 367+/- grams.

I love custom mods and this one is noce. However, just in case you may not know, there are very cheap after market extended legs that accomplish this very nicely, and most likely a little lighter. However, I am not trying to discourage any from trying this, it looks like a great solution!

It is a pretty easy process. I would highly recommend replacing all of the cables while you are at it. A cable kit is cheap and easy to find. I would mark all connections with a unique mark so you remember where all of the cables go, or take several photos. It can be tricky replacing the cables...

That is funny. But this is true: at least 3 or 4 times I have had people drive up to my house in cars or bicycles thinking they were chasing something unidentified (and I guess they were). It is so fun to see their faces. I have just installed a police beacon on top, and now it has a...

I removed the prop guards and LED's (210g total: I apparently underestimated), and everything works great. I am going to put 210g of dead weight on it, and give it a test, then slowly put things back on to the point where I start to encounter troubles again if it is not the weight alone causing...

Irish, thanks again. Regarding the prop guards, do you think it is the additional weight outboard of the center which adds to the "rocking" due to VRS (mine seems to be much more violent that those I have watched on youtube), or do you think it is an aerodynamic issue where the prop guards...

I finally found some references on google to VRS. That is it for certain. Now I have to figure out why. Like I mentioned, I have installed a BUNCH if high intensity lights which may be negatively influencing CG/balance/aerodynamics causing this. I will strip it down and add on slowly until I...

Thanks for your reply. Though I thought I was fairly conversant in Phantom Vision lingo, I have to admit ignorance to "VRS". I did a search here, but found nothing. Would you be kind enough to elaborate for me, or refer me to somewhere where I can learn what it is? Thanks!

Hello, It has been 6 months since i have been here-have not been flying much. I has a serious crash after an uncontrolled descent. I rebuilt, replaced main board, motors, ESC's, receiver, cables, all software and firmware upgrades and everything appears to be working well, EXCEPT: -If I climb...

A little expensive? Try $138 delivered to the US, in only 2-3 weeks....

Check this out. I have lights galore on my P2V, and can see it forever at night! viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7977

Please elaborate, ianwood. I am CERTAIN I am not the only one who is trying to learn more about this topic. Your brief comments already have taught me so much!

I noticed that I get continuity between the 2 antenna conductors (not grounds) for the P2V receiver. I do not for the camera receiver, or for either transmitter antenna. It appears as if there may be something different with the P2V controller receiver? If so, the splitter should work with...
