Please Listen to me. I put a set of 2 blade CF props on my P4. I flew it 2 long range flights. On the 3rd takeoff it tried to roll over. I tried again & the same thing. Then the controller gave mw a Warning " Loose or missing blade" I inspected the blades & on one the center aluminum piece...

OK HERE IS THE FACTS !!! I have a P-4 with FPVLR boosted $281 kit . ( Tonys kit ) I also have a P-4P with the kit & both have the same range. The P-4P camera is slightly better but that's it. With my stock P-4P+ with the parabolic antennas climbing all the way out I can reach 20,000 to...

Everyone says this or that but no real numbers. If the RE-700 is the best PLEASE TELL ALL OF US HOW FAR YOU CAN GET OUT !!!!!! It was stated Tonys FPVLR are not so good. Well what are you getting with your setup & explain everything you installed/ THANK YOU !!!

It slips over both antennas so it works the same for both. It does make it more directional but thats not a real big issue.

From what I read once in water, You can never trust the drone. I had my P-4P go down in a fresh water canal . It was in there a max of 5 minutes. I tested it & the camera moved but was blurry . I put it in rice & used a hair dryer for 3 days. When I tested it the camera no longer moved even...

There is no radar or EVEN a radio required in a Aircraft. 6 basic instruments. Rpm gauge, oil temp & oil pressure. Flight instruments Compass, Airspeed indicator & altimeter . The same thing with a Helicopter that can fly all day at 50 feet as long as if his engine quits he can do a safe...

I forgot to add, They slip on & off in a few seconds. No mods to anything .

Get a set of the good copper Parabolic antenna slip overs . It helps a lot. I paid for a good set $30 It also keeps the antennas straight to keep the signal stronger. There sold on Ebay. It funnels all the waves out towards where your pointing it. ( Towards the Drone )

So if Tony's FPVLR antenna & booster out to 30,600 feet What range are you getting ?? I looked at the DBS site & saw the 10 mile run. NOT WITH STOCK DRONE BATTERIES . They show there drone with the mod & the getto cruising knobs but there is no info on those items. Trust me 22,000 feet with...

I have a P-4 & a P-4P+ I have the FVPLR Antennas & booster & the FVP Custom drone battery mod on the P-4 30,600 feet max so far . The p-4P+ goes out to 20,000 feet stock. I fly every day .

Ok so to buy a drone you need to get a license ?? Great so little Johnnies Dad goes into best-buy & gets him a P-4 . Who makes him take the test before flying it ?? Or does Best-buy require a license to purchase it. He takes it home & flys 4 miles away at 1600 feet & a Cessna 15 crashes into...

That's a very good question. !!!!!!! I know usually the slower less maneuverable has the right away. This is what I mean. I really think Drones will become a big safety issue.

The only reason for 3 blades is if a 2 bladed prop that is a maximum diameter to clear the airframe needs TO MUCH PITCH to hold the engines back. Kind of like a wing stall . Then you need 3 blades at a flatter pitch. Other than that 3 blades is a waste .

If your not commercial & under part 107 don't worry about it. Just use common sense & fly lower & keep a look out for Aircraft !!!!

Look up FVPLR Tony sells antennas & boost kits. That will give your controller the range you need & will also let you fly lower & safer. For your drone look up FVP Customs. He sells a Drone mod that lets you strap no external batteries on your drone. I get with my P-4 33,000 feet one way...
