I have a P3A and also use Litchi. I ran a 14-minute mission (it was approx. 6 1/2 miles) the other day and barely made it home. Litchi, like others have said, will continue the mission as long as your battery holds out. Problem is, if you send it off and you lose signal with it, you have no way of taking control of it until it picks the signal back up.......that is what happened to me. I lost signal about half way through the mission (had my altitude pretty low 200ft.) and it ran into some headwind coming back. I picked up the signal again around 1/2 mile out and the Phantom was down to 10% and trying to land. I was able to re-gain control, put in atti mode and force it back and landed with 6% battery left. I made it, but way to close. After looking at the video which I started as soon as I took off, I had 18 minutes of video! I know for me 18-19 minutes of flight time is pushing it a bit. I mean, I always start it up and let it hover for a bit before ever taking off too. Good thing I never take off with a battery that is not fully charged. |
