I have had pretty good luck with used purchases off of ebay and amazon so with a good return policy of the seller I'm okay with it..
as far as using Litchi again, I'm sure I will... The loss of the P4 was not Litchi's fault. The bird had over 450 recorded flights and over 800 miles of flight time so it's loss could have been from anything really... I had replaced the shell (arm stress crack) and while I had it open I went ahead and replaced all 4 motors. It's quite possible my soldering may have failed and downed the AC... It's also quite possible that a nesting eagle or hawk could have attacked it too as I was flying over a heavily wooded and raptor populated area. That Litchi mission I had done numerous times without a hitch but this last time I took off from a lower elevation so loss of connection occurred.... It's also possible that the loss of connection location might very well be where the P4 went down, just have not had the chance to go look for it.
The lack of support from DJI is probably my only concern, but at least of the P4's the P4A is still on their site as a system still being sold.. They've discontinued the P4 it seems.
More postings to come I'm sure, after I put the bird thru it's trials.
Thanks for the response. |
