    A Question for FPVLR Amplified Antenna Users

    Don't think you have a problem. The "amps" are really transceivers (the signal moves both ways). The blue light is not reacting because there is no data traffic. Go for a short range flight and observe the amps...you should see both lights active. :harry

    DJI: New P3A Purchaser AFRAID to Fly!

    There's a lot of good advice on this thread... Put your P3 in beginner mode, charge up your batteries, find a nice big open area with no obstacles around for a couple of hundred feet and go fly! I fly with three other P3 pilots and none of us have had any issues with our birds "dropping out of...

    Trouble contacting DBS Mods?

    Chuck is pretty busy. Like others have stated, order with complete confidence and he will ship promptly. :harry

    Awesome flight today. Longest to date

    Long range flying is Very addictive ! I fondly remember when I thought a 1 mile out flight was a long distance (!) Now I'm pushing my limits at 21,000' each way... :harry :h

    Reinforce pick and pluck?

    I use Plasti Dip spray on my pick and pull foam inserts. Works great. :harry

    FPVLR VS. DBS

    Tony...are you going to be selling / installing your battery mod? I love my P3 v2 advanced controller kit and now need supplemental battery capacity. Let us know. :harry

    FPVLR VS. DBS

    OK guys, I want to get a battery mod for my P3P...I've just about hit the limit with the stock battery at nearly 18K'. Which mod are you happy with: Horizon, FPVCustom internal mods, or a battery mod just to the battery itself and not touching the actual airframe, or something else...? TIA...

    Windsurfer

    Personally, I prefer the two piece version of David's windsurfer since it's much easier to fit in my P3's backpack.

    Windsurfer

    I fly with a few other P3 pilots (collectively known as the Phantom Menace) all using David's antenna booster. 15K' flights are common place. You'll like it. :harry

    Windsurfer

    I think David W was the first to post a 3D printed version on this forum, though I could be wrong: Dynamic 3D Solutions

    Use Hdmi with dominator v2

    I own both the HP's and the Don V3's. Both are good but offer different viewing experiences, IMHO. I think you'll find that the Dom's will be coming off back-order sooner than the HP's will. FWIW you can usually find the HP's on the classified ads over at RCG. :harry

    Your thoughts

    I have flown the DJI "CF" props. Your dealer's advise is good as far as it goes... They are not true CF construction but are a carbon fiber filled design. This makes them a little more rigid than the stock props, but only a little. True cf props are prone to shattering on impact, but the...

    FPV Goggles for P3 with HDMI Module

    Looks like they are back-ordered at the usual suspects (getfpv.com; readymaderc.com and team-legit.com). I'd put a pair on order at any quality US dealer and just wait. As an alternative these are showing up on the classified ads at RCG. A lot of guys, like me, ordered both the HP's and the...

    FPV Goggles for P3 with HDMI Module

    If you want to use the HDMI output for goggles I recommend that you look at both the HeadPlay goggles (really a small 720p monitor in a clever head mount) and the FatShark Dominator V3 goggles which are purpose built for the 16:9 DJI aspect ration. I own and use both of these products. They...

    Battery mods !! Q&A's

    I think the 1000's and 1300 4s batteries are optimum for capacity vs weight* *Turnigy Nano-Tech 4s 45-90c battery weight: The 1000 4s 124g The 1300 4s 155g The 2200 4s 257g Personally, I think the 1000 4s bats are the best compromise. And remember, these...
