Flying Litchi missions exclusively, AirData shows 1,000 cumulative flight miles with my Phantom 3 Standard, over the course of 220 sorties lasting a total of 56 hours. This overall mileage covered has to be calculated, because AirData only records miles flown within signal range. Fortunately, the total hours aloft is correctly noted by AirData, and with Litchi's nominal cruise speed known to be 17.9 mph, computing total miles covered is simply the product of 56 hours x 17.9mph, equaling 1,002 miles total covered thus far with zero problems, knock on wood.
I must say I have been pleasantly surprised at the total absence of any mechanical or electrical problems thus far, considering that the Phantom 3 Standard is such an ancient platform compared to DJI's current drone lineup.
Anyone else out there seen this much mileage on a Phantom 3S? No crashes thus far, and only one rough landing when I stayed too long indoors, only for the drone to execute an RTH landing on uneven ground, fortunately without tipping over. Litchi's Mission Hub waypoint planning facility is without question mankind's greatest innovation, whose importance is surpassed only by the invention of the wheel.
