I have to say that some of you tech guys talk in a completely different language! Ha ha. I might as well be reading chinese! :) I think the largest "pro" for me personally was the cool factor since there's really no other reason to add it. It adds weight, requires modification to the...

Most of you guys know (way) more than I will ever know when it comes to the "electronics" involved in the Phantom. I'm one of those guys who tells my RC shop what I'd like my Phantom to do and they install whatever components it needs to turn my desires into reality (ie. long distance control...
