    Tips for recovering lost Phantom

    Last week I recovered a flyaway (strong wind) drone that landed 3 miles from me. When you lose your Phantom for whatever reason, panic has already taken over you.

    5 Degrees, not too cold

    In 4 years of flying Phantoms this P3P is the first one to make it thru fall. My previous Phantoms all had mishaps. So after the snowfall in Chicago I wanted to get a snow scene. Sent it up in 5 degree weather. Did a 10 minute flight at 400 feet. Can't imagine how cold it was up there. Well no...
