P4 (to buy or not to buy) Update

[RotorWash]

Update:

The P4 has arrived! Say hello Tello...You too Sparky, c'mon now, be nice...



Was told it was mint and they weren't kidding. Looks new out-of-the-box. One thing I've appreciated right away is the build on this baby. Pics really don't do these birds justice in regards to the eloquent build of their airframe. Can a drone be beautiful, I think so. The base P4 may be showing its age these days but it's certainly a classic and one that can still get some nice work done. I'm looking forward to the new challenges and opportunities this craft will provide me with, at least until such time I upgrade to a bigger sensor.



Controller is mint as well, sticker looks untouched on the flight mode switch...nice!



New tag applied and a fresh one for Sparky as well. Think I'll leave the idiot, err..warning stickers on for now

Great to see that everything arrived in great shape. The longer flight time will give you more opportunity to photograph and capture more of beautiful PEI.

Enjoy your new bird.

Sweet. ?

Heck, one P4 prop is the same size or bigger than the other two aircraft.

I guess size does matter.

Congratulations my friend! The P4 looks brand new. Quite the difference in battery size eh? I wish you many trouble free years of enjoyment. There are times when I miss mine but you have a much nicer "neighborhood" to fly in. Have a blast!

Good show, RotorWash, looks like you scored a primo deal. I'm looking forward to seeing it put to your talented use (presumably here in the Spark forum).

Thanks very much Chris! When I was up for a test spin today I was like ok I better bring it back in, oh wait, still got 10 more min!

Contrary to what my wife tells me but I can now see through her lies! ?

Thank you DJ! Holy k'moly, that battery is a brick! ? I thought of you when I had the beast up today! You really know you've got something on the line when the hook sets on this baby!! I love it!

Thank you IB Spectre! I joined up over on PhantomPilots today but SparkPilots is where my heart will stay. This forum has such great people like yourself, always helpful and encouraging. It's made my Spark experience a whole lot more than just flying a drone around! ☺
