Took my P3A out for a range test today, managed 4.5miles all in, would have went further but the rain started and I was taking no risks so came back

Anyone else done some big distances that can share their video's please?

Nice. I want to try something like that but I am scared I will lose it. lol

my butt was twitching like a rabbits nose

It is interesting to see how in all distance record maps the trajectory from the take off to the farthest point is a very straight line (constant Course Over Ground) but the return is all wobbly bouncing left to right, the reason for that is that, unlike in the Phantom 2 FPV, there is no home point marker graphically being overlaid over the video image, I know it is just a detail but it would be a nice little addition.

Yeah, well done. That's not illegal at all.  Maybe read the CAA rules before advertising your company name though.

Thats 4.5 miles ONE WAY.  Not round trip

You are keen lol thanks for sharing

How do you go more than 500m?  Seems the app wants to limit flight distance.

Sorry, figured it out!

Yah, wouldn't fly in the rain.  

Wow I was so nervous for you when watching that video. Sweating more than a prostitute at church.
