I've been carrying a P3A to flying sites in the DJI hard backpack on the rear seat of my BMW R1200GS since mid 2015. Never an issue!

I trashed the 2.7K camera on my P3A, and the insurance had it “repaired” but really sent a 4K camera assembly with my original “ADV” serial sticker stuck on it. The assemblies look identical with the exception of “4K” printed on the camera and a fan on the processor plate. See photos. At first...

Wolfiesden, You mentioned charging in your car. I wonder what you're using. I've tried several methods, including an inverter. Just bought a dual battery charger with controller charge cable that plugs directly into the car outlet. haven't tried it yet. Just wondered what you've found that works...

Great job! Can't wait for the battery info.

Sorry we didn't find you. We figured your location but you may have left by then. Saw your bird and waved, though. Actually saw two, but maybe one was the Parrot. We flew from a parking lot closed to cars that I wouldn't have known of had I not meet El Diablo in the main lot.

If you load HD Sync from the Google Play store you can have it automatically or manually upload telemetry data from each flight. you're have to register and set up an account, of course, but that's free. When you log into your HealthyDrones account from a website it will show you all of the...

Great thread. Keep the updates coming!

If the WX holds, I'll try to make it! JR

Nerves of steel is right! My office is just up the road - that was quite a run. Thanks for posting the video. Nice to see an area I recognize.

Great job! Thanks for keeping us posted.

Amen!

Been flying a P3A several times a week since August, and it has always worked as advertised. It even followed the the laws of physics when a tree jumped in front of it. Through that experience I've found parts to be of reasonable cost and are available. Easily several hundred hours of flight...

You're right about the Phantom. It has handled plenty of below freezing flights. It's my fingers that can't stand the cold!

Welcome Bryan. Yes, it looks like the Phantoms will be buttoned up for a while. Wishing for an early spring! Jonathan in Eagle
