So looking around I think I may have found a good case for the P2V with prop Guards affixed

http://www.mycasebuilder.com/im2875-cus ... -case.html

Storm IM2875 Waterproof Case - I.D. 22.5" x 21.1" x 11.4"

My case builder has them and can custom cut foam for it as well Looknig at about $445 but that is with customized foam too

I have a hard shell case but will not fit with the guards on and I don't want to keep removing the guards eventually a screw will strip or something will break

Looks interesting anyway
 
the prop guards I see, seem they would produce drag and inconsistent flight.

They block the pressure and divert the wind produced.

Seems a better design would be a duct or a tunnel type that would produce constant pressure and magnify thrust.

I may be wrong but current prop guards look primitive and more suitable for a toy like training wheels.
 
I have used the P2V with and without the prop guards and, in my experience, they don't add any drag to the flight or anything different than without.
 
If you're a mad pilot that crashes a lot, .... suppose prop guards are a good thing, !?? .... myself, .... after payin $1995 for this P2V ..... Im slow and careful in flying and take great care into not crashing into anything .... :|
 
While I agree with you, it's not always pilot error that causes crashes. Something might crash into your Phantom, it might act erradically due to a drop in satellite numbers or whatever it may be. The fact that so much money has already been put into my Phantom is the exact reason why I have extra protection.

Take a look at the case on this page. It's $160 (I don't know what the shipping is). Someone on Facebook got it and really likes it. Their shopping cart is down at the moment. I just sent an email asking them what the cost of shipping to the states would be.

I just received my Tradecraft... Excellent and well designed.

Delivery took longer than I would have liked, however, the weather (global warming) was a factor!
 
I also have the tradecraft. My issue with the shipped design is that they did not alow room for the iphone/droid mount to fit in the case when mounted as the instruction suggest. If you mount it high on the arm as many do it fits ok. But I like mine close to the remote and you must disassemble each time unless you cut out an extra space.
