Hello everyone!
I took my P3A out today for its first cloudy day flight. It had not rained it about 4 hours but there was still moisture in the air since the clouds where hanging about. I have your basic range extenders on my antennas and at around 1500ft distance and 400ft high I lost visual signal and control. At this point I had to hold the "Oh Crap" button and make it return to me ASAP. Do clouds really cause this much of a problem with the signal that it would cut my distance in half or more? On a sunny day the farthest i've taken my phantom was 3Kish feet.
