how ya going maxwell? did you get your fishing vacation in? hope so!

Hi guys. I did get some fishing in, now I got the fishing bug again. I don't need more hobby's.
Good to see you guys are flying. The weather here is cooling down and it feels great.
Sorry to here about the lost bird. That just sucks.

I was on vacation a couple week back. I went fishing And man they where biting. I put a mirror lure on Shamono real and went after them. I catching a fish every cast. I went back to the truck and got the Gopro, and went back out in the water and what you know the fish are camera shy.

Nothing not a bite with camera going. We did bring a few home to eat. Was a good time.

i went on a recon to try and find the aircraft today, the forest is thick there .. i don't stand a chance. But, i ordered amps and a battery to power the CCP's, so that will come this week and we will have boosted CCP's going! I'm gonna go back to farmland and see what we can do out there, i've ran out of distance space at this spot!

here's the forest i tried to attack. I followed deer trail about a thousand vertical feet down, about a half mile in. The wild black berries were brutal, thorns everywhere! There is no way I'm gonna find it in this stuff, plus it was super foggy up there. Ahh thats okay, we will replace and move along!

Big foot is requesting a controller and fresh battery.
Looks ruff.

I dont think a tracker would help in that bush.

I would think it would give you a smaller area to look. As long as you have good cell service.

Boosted CCP's .. need to find final config setup, but they work! SUPER HAPPY!

Got 11 min test flight in:

The red spots are where i pointed the antenna directly at the ground. Wanted to see if it would keep connection, and if not, how quickly it came back.

i was gonna fly yesterday, the weather parted and blue skies showed up for 4 hours!!!! But, i got a compass error and realized that I've been storing my phantom next to the 3d printer .. the compass leg is butting up against a motor. I think i managed to magnetize the compass. New one comes today in the mail .. crossing fingers this is all it was!!

I'm here! Got out before work today, battled some wind and cold but got a few flights in. The rebuilt CCP's are strong, i was battery testing and doing tests in different direcitons, got a 40k and 33k flight in before I got too cold.

phxbird57 those are some nice flights my man! signal score near perfect on both! those be some HOT bats! My max Temperature on a 33min flight was only 93.1f!

i got out again this afternoon, 55k boosted CCP run. The one red spot in the signal score was when i bumped the antenna and it went a different direction, but otherwise was perfect. i had wind working for me today, but batteries were cold and didn't wanna fly as long as i hoped. was amazing flight though, perfect!

Procharged97 - these things work man!

So over the last few days I tried a few distance flights without camera, on the built CCP's. I did a flight to 70k (this one didn't quite make it back to me) out and one to 61k yesterday, both trips showed 100% signal score in healthydrones. I had to share to my CCP-breather-in!

Here's a DJI Go screenshot of the signal when I was 70k out:
