    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    Fwiw, I have enjoyed much better range and performance binding the futaba controller w stock rx achieving 3400m vs 2000m w futaba receiver and longer futaba antennas. I was only getting 900m with futaba rx and standard antennas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Have you guys seen this ?

    While a cool idea, no practical application for this until a 3d axis gimbal is available for the phantom (and not the new zenmuse 3d which only compensates for yaw). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How easy is it to replace the shell on P2?

    Process takes 30-45 minutes. Only challenging if you have striped hex screws under the motors (I did). If it is the 3d phantom make sure you ask b4 ordering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What NOT to do during landing/descent.

    Happens too often to me but only in GPS mode. If I see it happening and switch quickly to atti I can pull out if it. I think the vortex circle theory is pretty creditable and gps mode just exacerbates the issue trying to over compensate once the death wobble starts. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Swapping Phantom 2 shell after crash

    I had a similar incident w my P2. Although I am mechanically challenged I had no problem moving to a new shell. Just be patient and take photos and take your time. The screws on the battery connection underneath the main board and the mini USB connection were the only screws a bit hard to...

    Forget the Futaba 14SG if you want range !

    Here are the shots. Notice the two antenna on the leg. I still have both the stock rx along side the futaba rx along with associated antennas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3.4km Long Range Run | Stock Phantom 2/remote control

    An update.... I upgraded the R7008SB futaba receiver to the 400mm boat antennas and hit 2800m today with the 14SG. While not the 3400m I have reached with the stock rx/tx, it is much better than the range with the antennas that came with the R7008SB limited to <1000m. Sent from my iPhone...

    I would. I'm thinking about building a 550 and if so, will use the futaba rx that came w the 14sg as the rx. I just have to pull it off the sticky tape inside the p2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Posted in a couple other forums... 2200m with 14SG & stock Phantom 2 Rx. I reinstalled the P2 stock rx and reconnected to the Naza controller today while leaving the Futaba R7008SB rx that came with the 14SG inside the shell but disconnected. Out on the same range with the stock rx and the...
