Alright I am ready just need some feedback

[ccase39]

I have been putting off buying a P3 advanced (maybe professional) until some reviews come back. Its been out a while now and I am wonderng what you guys think and want to hear some of your experiences. Couple of questions:
What is the REAL flight time
Any word on a ground station?
How much distance can you get FPV?

I am thrilled about the lightbridge tech so how is it working?

 

[msinger]

- 18 minutes flight time on average
- No word on ground station
- It depends. The range is impressive though.
- Lightbridge works well for me.

 

[Jbundy63]

18 to 20 minutes of flight time.

Range so far has been good, been out a mile and held GPS, usually have 18 to 20 satellites when I've been flying.

Lightbridge has worked very well for me as well.

What Jbundy63 said.

Ditto all comments above. Not a single "Issue" for me. Both firmware updates went fine. P3P running the latest FW with no problems.

Same here.

Easy get 1km full video strength, no issues.

My experience is about what others have reported:

18 - 20 minutes on relatively un-seasoned batteries and 1KM+ in distance.


:h

stuff i didnt really know when I bought:

lightbridge has about 200ms of delay, its noticeable. but you cant fly aerobatics and stuff with the P3 so its actually a non-issue.

ios devices work better than android devices (for now at least)

also, 500m AGL is max altitude, enforced

I agree with all of the above. Also, I've gone as far as 2 miles away with full reception the entire way. I'd have to say that the lightbridge tech is what has impressed me the most.
