Weather is perfect for flying today. Took 'er up to 325', but started to lose control signal. So I stopped there. Would have preferred 500 or 600', so I just ended up with this:

There's two videos making the rounds..... one where both birds survive, one where the quad crashes but still works.

Nice, I just have the regular Phantom 2. I did add the Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and a video downlink though. Have you been happy with it?
