All that is missing is an inspire. Nice collection.

Tony,

Thanks. Yeah, I've thought about the Inspire but since this is just a hobby for me and I really know very little about photography, it'd be hard to justify. I've already taken over half the house with what I have now!

(Nice close up of orange P3.)

@jlarcher - Your P3 color looks like it would be pretty visible at a distance. How does that stand out against clear blue sky (looks good in the photo), cloudy skies, trees/foliage, etc.?

Cheers

I am able to see it so much better in the blue sky. We don't have many cloudy days, but it even more visible on cloudy days. I found out it is harder to see at night.

I wanted to get my bird painted Orange too but after looking at yours, I think it may be if I go half black and half orange.

I will be painting only bottom shell but will divide into orange and black. Not yet decided how to use two colors. One idea is front orange and rear black so I know the direction of flying easily. Other choice could be better appearance with two colors.

off topic but here's a video of my first real distance test flight with my dbs antenna mod. i think if i was on a hill or a building i would have gone further....but im still quite impressed when you consider where i took off from. not gonna lie my heart was beating fast cause when it was returning home from 10,000 ft it lost connection for about a minute and i didn't know if it was still hovering or what cause the rth wasn't beeping during that time... also yes i did block out my location, date and time for my own privacy even though i didn't break the max altitude.
