If I buy a P3 now, would I have to update with the 1,27 and then reupdate with the 1.26? I hope I have the versions correct, it's getting hard to keep up with the update numbers.
I want to go ahead and purchase. but the whole firmware issue has got me a little hesitant. I know from reading threads in the forum that there are going to be issues with any new electronic product, but I can wait it out if need be. What do you think?  Thanks

I'd say that depends on what firmware is in the Phantom when they ship it.  Generally speaking, the latest update will include all the previous updates.  So I suppose that would be a no to your question.
