Bone stock i'm betting.
 
Which is funny.. calling a UAV bone stock.. HAHA! That's a term I use for my Terminator.. It's BONE STOCK. Cept it aint!

BTW good deal on the flight. Purty Cool
 
Just like I got it straight out of the box. It's a P3 Advanced. Nothing modified all standard parts that came in the box. But I do have a nice open area to fly in right out my back door. I live at 7415' in elevation
 
Flown this afternoon: Total travel distance was 25,728 feet (almost five miles). Max distance from home was 12,227 feet (2.3 miles). My goal was to photograph a "movie set" western town in the Mojave desert. Completely stock P3 Advanced.

OK, gotta ask. What's the coordinates of this set? I've been all over the Mohave, haven't seen this yet.

Home point: 34.310722, -116.400441

It is near Giant Rock and the Integratron in the vicinity of Landers (CA). The "movie set" is the Whitehorse Ranch.
 
Can you please share your camera settings

The stock P3A is quite capable. I have a P3A, very first version, so I think from what I've read the transmitter in the v1 P3's was more powerful. Anyway, stock everything I got 21,120ft each way. That's 4 miles out and 4 miles back. These things are insane.
 
How much battery did you have left?

P3P, windsurfers only, 100% battery on takeoff, 9% on landing.. First pic is farthest distance out, second is total distance traveled during the flight. Lightbridge is amazing..

Nice. I see you're a tad over 400 [emoji3]. I just went out in my longest.

Yes, a tad over 400ft. at the home point, (where I was standing) but where the P3 was it wasn't higher than 100ft. above the ground. The land sweeps upward the farther out I go, and I adjust altitude to keep about 100ft. above ground the whole way.. I have remarkably little interference for such distances too, it's great..
