New personal distance best with P3S **UPDATE new max distance on page 2** Here is a link to the thread I started about some distance runs I did. All I used was a homemade Windsurfer and got 9733ft on one flight and 11685ft on the other. I also put a link to the page to print out the Windsurfer...

Sweet

I've made the one from RodPad's post and have gone over 2 miles. Check out some of my other posts or my YouTube channel, NcQuadPilot, for some videos. All I've been using is the homemade windsurfer and it has more than doubled my range

Nope, all I get is an error page when I click on them.

I thought I had it down. Degree is in Robotics and have been in industrial maintenance for over 20 years so my soldering skill are pretty good. I may have messed up somehow but not sure where.

Problem with what I ordered was both were male that is the reason for the adapter I added.

Yes mine are mounted just like in DARLAK's pic. Matt--I had no idea that switching between camera and video would do that. I may re-install and test further. There is only one thing I've done different but can't see as it would make a difference. I've had to add the adapters pictured below...

Ok, here is the video of the flight. What do you guys think? Did I mess up somewhere on the build? Seemed straight forward enough but I didn't get the performance I was expecting. I actually still had control of the bird when I turned around and headed home but no video to confirm what I was...

Well I tried out my antenna setup today. Actually worked worse than stock. I'm not sure if I messed up on the build or what but once I lost video it never fully came back even with hovering a few feet in front of me. I had to hook up the OEM antenna again to get the video to work again. On the...

@WilliamM LOL It would be interesting. I would get some great speed going as all that wind would be at my tail going out but coming home would all head wind. A 35-40 mph gust straight on would stop the bird and might push it back some. @Matts175 I can imagine it felt like forever. I'm sweating...

I think I've about hit my personal limit on distance or at least what I feel comfortable with. I might try for 11880 ft to make it an even 2.25 miles but that's plenty far out for a basically "stock" bird (only a homemade windsurfer and then this mod). I probably could have hit it the other day...

I know what you mean. The wind right now is blowing about 15-20mph gusting to about 35. No flying today but tomorrow is supposed to be nice.

They're on and ready. Now if this wind will calm down enough to give it a try. Maybe it will later today.

Awesome idea. Now where is my heat shrink.....
