I sold my Pro just before the Winter here in the UK . I just wasn't using it that much anymore and had lost the bug. However, I missed it so I plumped for an Air in the Spring. To give you some context I'd got the 'how many miles can my Pro do' out of my system quite early on and I knew that the reality is you need an absolute maximum range of c1000 metres.Even then nowadays I rarely go further than c700 metres, even though the Air is capable of much further. With the FCC hack (if you're in the UK) you will get fantastic range with the Air, and in my opinion it is an all round much more evolved product than the Pro. It's built like a tank.
Not one, but only done about 30 flights. It has been solid as a rock though....When I first got it I wanted to test the range just the once and got it to 1.4 km before bottling out. It had one tiny glitch but it lasted a couple of secs at most, and I was only 50 metres altitude.
My buddy just bought a pro platinum a few weeks ago and his longest flight time is 24 minutes. I think sometimes they cheat on the flight times
I think he must sit in one spot a lot to get that time.
Lol I don't think they cheat on flight times. It just has to do with a significant amount of variables. How fast you are flying, humidity, wind conditions, altitude, disabling vision sensors etc etc etc. The list goes on and on.
That’s my whole point. You never get the advertised flight time
Relax dude. I was directing that to the guy that was saying he wanted the platinum because it got 30 minutes of flight time. My whole point was that he shouldn’t put so much weight on that because it will never get 30 minutes flight time in the real world.
Doesn’t seem to be that big of a difference to warrant the $$ hit if the reason is just size
