Having some fun with P3 and Lume Cubes. I already have a custom LED lighting on my P3 using prop guards and a 2S 2200maH battery sat behind the gimble. I decided to try adding 2 Lume Cubes sat on either side using the P3 kit: This setup is right on the edge of the weight limit for the P3, full...

Hello Roo, Fellow P3P & S900 pilot from the Bath area, welcome and congrats on your purchase. Find a big open field and practice from there, here is my very first flight. I am very luck that there is a public footpath running right across the middle of the farmers field, perfect for takeoff and...

Hi, Sorry the spellchecker nerfed the post, I meant UBEC/SBEC or DC to DC converter, I usually have a couple of these laying around: Turnigy 5A (8-26v) SBEC for Lipo You can power any 5v kit direct from the battery. In this case the two neo units plug in to the converter which plugs in to the...

Hi, All the parts are from www.flytron.com and the kit list is as follows: 1) STROBON NEO + 4 Stripes Pack x2 2) RGB LED Strips for STROBON NEO x4 3) UBIC to convert battery to 5v I used one strobon neo kit for the arms. The outer edge on the guards is the other strobon neo kit, I found that a...

Hi, This 2 part review is very interesting:

I fitted the ITelite antenna and noticed about a 40% better penetration through the trees, with the standard antenna I would get video drop out when flying behind a bunch of trees, the the ITelite antenna noticeably less. I agree with everyone above you are still stuck with LOS for the most part.

When you fasten the flat panel to the mounting bracket with the two wing nuts and clip the mount on to the metal bar under the controller it will be in the correct position. There are no pan / tilt options on the mount.

I went for black and white. The skin is not sticky enough and I will consider painting the whole P3 next.

Hi, You can buy a replacement module for the controller, costs about £75 and takes about 15 minutes to swap over, just need some precision Torx drivers. I bought mine from http://www.buzzflyer.co.uk turned up the next day.

I use a Lilliput 7" screen via the HDMA board on the controller, it sits on a tripod connected via a 1.5m cable. I like this setup as I don't have to hold the screen and I can have my tablet on map instead of camera. I find the HDMI output has a lot less lag than my Samsung Tab 4.
