Cheap China Panels (Liehuo) vs. any Antenna!

[B_Squared]

Well when I went looking for it yesterday ,I didn't have WiFi or GPS. So on my tablet it looked like it landed in the middle of a rice paddy.
I up loaded the maps on flight log, and it is now north of the rice field. That is good, but the field it landed in is heavily over grown.
I will go out after work today and try to find it.

That sucks Maxwell, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll find it!

This is where a second drone comes in handy.
I only have one. The board is shot in my other P3.

 

[phxbird57]

so sorry to hear that Max, But you did find it.
and yes your right about a second drone. I'm always watching on Craiglist for Phantom's, some times you get lucky and find one cheap.

You haven't found it yet right, going to look for it later

 

[phxbird57]

I took it that he found it, when he was saying the board is bad or is that other drone he has?

[maxwell smart]

He said he's going out later. Good luck Max! It's an uphill climb, but coming from someone who's didst more birds than anyone, they are findable. You just got to think like a hound dog

 

[Procharged97]

Yeah man borrow a blood hound and have it smell the phantom case then send it out!!!! lol that would be sweet!

On a serious note Max I hope you find it and all is good with it, please let us know how you make out later on today.

I live in St. Peters, but have lived mostly in St. Louis county. Was homepoint at the old Chrysler factory? I'm suspecting my MaxxRange to not be as effective as I thought it would.

What do you mean poor range

 

[Procharged97]

Hey D what are your numbers before and after the Maxx? Have you checked your cable inside the rc? people were having issues before and it was caused from the cable breaking at the sma end. Not sure if this is your problem but thought I would throw it out there

You know where it is ,it's just too thick to get to max?
Sucks cause if it just auto landed it's possible that it's a perfectly good unit!

 

[Procharged97]

Man that sucks Max, sorry.

Is it thick brush where the phantom is?? ill send you a machete to chop away to get to it...don't give up Max!!

My CCP's are stripped apart waiting for the connectors ..the ones that came were for another antenna build
