Official P3 Range Leaderboard

Yes, totally did! And all of the other long distance flyers as well. To show not a fluke, I did 46k and back on Saturday. Here's the healthydrones log for that: HealthyDrones.com - Innovative flight data analysis that matters

To go that far, you need a big *** battery. I get 18mins from stock battery and about 16+ minutes from the external battery. Today's flight looked to be 34mins total. The smaller batteries give ya 7-10minutes, the big ones go much further. batteries like these:

HI bud,have a p3p so im thinking if getting the battery mod done myself from here - Phantom 3 Power Mod V3

I understand with these split 5200 4s batteries ill get extra 7-10 mins, but would i be ok to change to the bigger 4s batteries like you have using this battery mod,or do i need to change/add anything else ? i'm not that knowledgeable with voltages etc. also how do you attach your external 4s lipos ? been advised to use gorilla tape to save weight/cost.

many thanks
 
New personal record this morning. The wind started picking up on the way out, so I decided to bring it back since this was my first true long run with the battery mod. Average Wind Speed 15.8 mph, Max Gust Speed 19.3 mph.
Looks like I have some more distance in the future if I get out early before the wind!
Aircraft averaged about 35 mph on the way out, 25 mph on the way back.

Max Distance 26,550 ft (4.67 mi.) - ItElite MaxxRange, Unboosted, Battery Mod

thats a nice flight man!! I get up early and go out, i try and be in the air 7-8am to catch as little wind as possible. it really makes a difference, makes the flight more predictable.

if you have a modded battery, or modded aircraft you can run pretty much any battery you want as long as its 4S and 14.8 or 15.2 volts. The biggest concern really is weight, there is a balance between weight and available power. The largest i've run is the 6600, which is about 550g and is alot of weight. You can either then get single batteries and some 3m dual lock and put the battery under the VPS, or you can get 2 smaller batteries, like 2x2300 or 2x2800 and put them in the saddles/battery trays you may get if you get that linked power mod. You should come to the dual battery mod thread here and learn more: http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/dual-battery-mod.57463
 
This flight didn't make the board but I just want to start log my 1st longest flight with P3 4K, Itelite dbs mod, boosted, 20dbm mod, 15170 ft.

You having those problems on android? I've missed out on quite a few flight logs using galaxy S5 with the newest version of the app. Lately I've been flying PIII's with an iPhone and an older version and it logs everything. And now iPhone has healthy drone sync
