thats a good run !! ill get there sooner or later. finally got another SD card to work i don't know why i did not record my run but ill do it again !

I would keep forgetting to turn on the camera. On my P2v+ I use Litchi so I can have a fly data file DJI app for P2 does not store data. and the nice thing about Litchi it auto turns on the camera when you take off.

The camera's are so great. I do more video than single frame but even that is great pictures. Here is one just before I took off. Superstition Mountains
in the back ground

I'm looking at those surroundings in that picture and it's screaming for long-distance flights

Oh wi

I don't know if you could make it to them Mountains in the background. But it sure would be fun trying.

if you only knew the flat land (farm land) around me here, miles and miles !!! I'm thinking about hitting the beach tomorrow for some good shots !

How far is Black beach from you . Db would like some pictures from there

I made it to the first line of trees, on the stock controller, that was across the street past the strawberry fields

The reg 3G's can be had for as low as $40 these days. No reason not to pick up one for each bird at that price

What?? Where?? Here we go again.

TIP: if you have something like a mountain or watertower etc. off in the distance ( even too far off to make it to) start flying that way ( if the wind is right) and keep heading yer bird that way w/ yer FPV then when yer birds too far out to see you know EXACTLY where to aim your antenna!!
And dont go too high right off the bat, its easier to judge how high to aim your controller if the birds always rite on the horizon, not a mile high! Its all about aiming, especially w/ the p2v+&p3S
