Hi All,
As per the title suggests, i had/have a P3S which unfortunately i had a RTH failure. This isnt a warranty issue this was just my mistake as unfortunate it was
long story short, i was flying all fine, got low battery alarm (30%) , flew drone back to where i was standing... instead of just landing drone and carrying it back to the car probably 50 meters away, i decided to walk and fly it, and just run out the battery a bit more... during that walk, it was under trees etc, RTH triggered, (25%) and it went up into a branch, tried to over correct, and over-corrected into the tree and then rapid decent occurred 
kinda all happened in slow motion 
So, the place where this leaves me is Droneless, but im looking at getting a P3A to replace my P3S.
My question is regarding Lightbridge and the realistic range that increases. I have seen the videos, i have seen the spec's. I modded my P3S with DBSMod and got about 800meters (rather than the 500 i was getting).
I am aware its a different technology and all that jazz....
my question is simply, in real world, is lightbridge THAT much better.
Looking at the specs, the P3S is controlled by 5.7-5.8ghz which has a shorter range than 2.4Ghz (which is used for video feedback).
But the P3A is controlled via 2.4ghz.. so wouldnt the P3A suffer the same 2.4Ghz issues that the video feedback has???
Any help appreciated
on a side note, my drone didnt fall very far, but the camera gimbal snapped off and the props broke, is there a palce where people are interested in buying second hand equipment (working fine) like remote controllers, but also potentially repairable drones, outside of fleabay?
