Current resale value of a used or new GL300A transmitter to mod or keep as stock is between $100-$200. Plenty available, as anyone who crashed their P3 and didn't repair it, always has a working transmitter left over that they have no further use for. It takes 10-20 seconds to pair a different transmitter with your aircraft. Any P3P or P3A GL300A or GL300B transmitter will work better, when paired with a P4, than the stock P4 GL300C transmitter.There's nothing wrong with it but let's not forget the price of a remote is almost the cost of a whole P3A package on a good day. I think it's unrealistic to have two remotes in most cases. However multiple antennas to swap out is realistic. The main thing is that the mod changes your entire approach to being flight ready and does add a level of inconvenience that isn't there with stock, especially when adding amplifiers and a battery into the mix too. But this thread is about long range and mods to do it so that's a completely accepted part of it. Having done remote mods, I'm just adding some food for thought for people that are considering doing it without realizing the actual commitment to doing so. You don't usually un-mod back to stock even if you find it's not your thing. You live with. Just be aware, is all I ever suggest to people interested.
