I have 2 Phantom 2's. I bought my first one in April and the second one in June. I upgraded the first one last month when the parts were showing up on the shelves with new motors and ESC's, new props, new compass and new TX with the tilt wheel for the camera. The battery usage I have found is less than a minute on the new upgrade. But I fly conservatively, not more than 14 to 15 minutes at the max. The only repairs I have made to that one is replacing the battery plug inside. One of the push connectors came apart. I've also done the mod of a copper shield for the GPS on both birds.
As far as the ESC's burning or failing, the jury isn't back on that. Man makes the parts, and they are not perfect. Some of everything will fail. Only failures are heard about here. Of all the new V-3's and upgrades for the V-2's that have been sold, only a few failures have happened. |
