    M.A.R.S lite parachute kit

    Went on Maxxuav.com and purchased the ItElite MaxxRange full kit. The difference was night and day. Then for experimentation and future ideas with different antenna ideas I purchased the DJI-EVO Kit from the same place as well. As far as a second bird I've decided to look for a p3a. Gets me the...

    M.A.R.S lite parachute kit

    I took mine off recently as I was playing with distance flying over unpopulated area after my antenna mod. Wanted to see if it made a big difference or not. Thinking I'm going to end up getting two birds. One with chute for going over houses ect.. and the other dedicated to battery mod and distance.

    Thanks for the correction, Sorry about my mistake. Overall still very satisfied with the product. Getting an updated part will just be icing on the cake.

    No, I'm still using the original mars battery backpack. Version one I guess you would call it.

    M.A.R.S lite parachute kit

    So interesting, I flew a couple of flights today and on the last flight, mid-flight the backpack battery finally went dead. This was not intentional but was my faught as I did not top up the battery before my flights today. Good news is that I know positively system was armed but no deployment...

    M.A.R.S lite parachute kit

    So this weekend so far I flew eight separate flights with the Mars parachute system with the Mayday and Packpack. Everything went flawlessly. I topped off the charge on the backpack after the fourth flight. I really couldn't be happier with this setup. I have recieved the email from Kyle and all...

    I would guess around 100mah just based on size and comparison.

    M.A.R.S lite parachute kit

    Just wanted to give a heads up to a potential problem I addressed. So in my testing of the deployment of the parachute over and over and the nature of my kids being curious of it somehow the lines became tangled over time. I simply untied the lines, untangled them and put back together. Then of...

    If it where me I would keep it single cell Lipo, it's convenient to be able to charge by usb. I would just increase the mah a little.

    Because I had opened up the backpack earlier to check it, out of curiosity. I also took my dvom and checked the voltage of the Lipo at full charge and it was 4.21v It also feels like the servo even at this voltage has plenty of torque to deploy.

    I would also add that with the backpack modual I'm not worried about reverse polarity damage to the Mayday board as I would be by making a mistake with a separate Lipo battery.

    What are your cheap(er) Phantom alternates?

    This is what I was referring too.

    M.A.R.S lite parachute kit

    Ok I'm pretty darn happy right now. I feel like I finally have this thing all figured out. I successfully had the Mayday board trigger deployment five times in a row. That's even messing with it like turning it on and off between test, unplugging backpack and plugging back in, wires ect...

    Was it plugged into the servo during the charging process?
