With the Argtec Extender with a P3Pro I made it to a little over 17,000 ft..........only problem is though didn't quite make it back....in one piece ! Between a headwind and some kind of interference I was about 2,000 ft short of making it home. But I do learn from my stupid mistakes !

In answer to the distance question, yes I believe it can go as far......although I was using the Argtec Extender and it's dangerous to do so, that was a contributing factor to rather disastrous flight of mine back around 6 months ago, and as Nigel pointed out it's against the VLOS rules by which...

So to clarify then, recalibrating the compass is not necessary everytime you change location ? This is the first I've heard that so just want to be sure. I wonder if that may have been a contributing factor in problems I had awhile back ?

Sorry been out of contact due to health issues. But I did figure out the problem Even though I had reinstalled the DJI Go app in my android tablet (Tab 4) apparently it was corrupted or something. I uninstalled and reinstalled again, and this time, it appears to be working fine. So I guess...

Good point, but earlier in the day both aircraft were fine, then later, different geographic location, had the delay. This morning at home, no issues, all with the same tablet , cable etc etc. I did reinstall the DJI Go app onto my android tablet, after making sure the former installation was...

I'm experiencing FPV delays rather intermittently. I have 2 Phantom 3 P's and when I experience this problem it happens with both, the only common denominator being the remote controller. I'm wondering if I reflashed the firmware for the remote controller may help. Can I reflash it with the...

I mentioned that earlier in this thread, about the fact that I was over the country club, and not of my own accord, fighting the craft to get it back on the path to home. However,Bud discounted that fact, saying it only "appeared" that I was over the country club. But I didn't want to argue the...

Rightly or wrongly I've always thought that usually when some kind of electronics "goes out" it usually just goes out like a burnt out light bulb, and usually doesn't come and goor slowly fade away. Is that line of thought correct or not.....or is it a "depends" ? And gosh, I simply hate the...

Bud Yes, that is correct ! I thought it was just the antennae but it turns out theres a little processor board on it, plus I'm sure your aware of that "github" website where they have schematics and pictures of all the components for the P3P among others.I was also able to confirm that was the...

Bud and Sar, you guys a speaking of technical stuff I am not really familiar with.Bur Sar, what exactly did you mean by "significant weighting applied to the GPS data"if you could put it into laymans terms. Does to perhaps mean the craft was somehow overreacting to data being fed to it ? On...

Bud I took it for a couple of short flights yesterday and everything was great, no errors. That certainly doesn't mean I trust i for a second though. I did replace the Ultrasonic module though. I looked into it and found the GPS module is attached to the GPS antennae inside the top half of...

Actually, I did do as you mention, I landed about a mile from "home" and manually retrieved. The reasons I didn't do it earlier was: I had flown this course many many times with no problems by the time I realized I had serious problems, was when the craft veered to the right, away from the...

I really do appreciate the extensive analysis of my flight data. Fortunately, I have a back up P3P to use for now. Looking at YouTube today I found this video that seems to describe these exact same problems and behaviours. Here's the link This video also states that I guess he sent it into...

How about at about 13 min 18 sec when it veers to the right, goes way over the dyke and over the country club, but, that's not reflected in the path from the kml file is it ? That was the turn that wasn't commanded. Also, I'm referring to the time stamp on the video, I'm not certain how that...

I think you are correct, here is "90" FLY090.DAT
