I'm still a newbie in the hobby with 46 flights under my belt since buying my P3S five weeks ago. (I have flown it at least once a day and the most was three in a day). I've been fortunate so far with only one "fly away" incident due to extreme upper level wind conditions that ultimately ended well after it switched into RTH mode and slowly muscled its way back to the home point. Lesson learned!!!
Never did like that overwhelming feeling of helplessness I experienced as I watched my most prized possession all but disappear from my line of sight, accompanied by the alarming & unfamiliar beeps blaring loudly from the controller. Thankfully it performed as designed and came back in one piece.
Anyways, my question is about the normal expected range of a P3S straight out of the box. Mine does well out to about 300 ft. with good line of sight but I've noticed what appears to be a "blind spot" when the drone rotates around while in a fixed position. It completely loses the signal when the drone is in front of me and facing between 8 & 11 on a clock face. Is this normal? Is it a known problem? Or could I possibly have an issue with one of the onboard sensor/antennas?
Also, I am looking into installing one of the aftermarket booster mods within the controller to bring it closer to the range of the P3P. Any recommendations?
