[QUOTE="RotorWash, post: 116037, member: 18210"] P4 Update: Well my first deal fell through when the owner took the bird up for a test spin before shipping it to me and the gimbal went limp with an overload error, which was a first for him. After dodging that bullet I should have become a little more gun-shy about buying a used craft but nope, then it became a mission of sorts. So after a few days I did find another one in mint shape and it's currently on its way to me now. I got it for $750cdn(560usd) shipped from Ontario. Afiak, no crashes, hard landings, scratches or scuffs of any sort on the craft or controller, perfect shape with less than three hours on it, a business bought it new in 2018 but just didn't get into it. Only had a few flights outside and flew it around the office once in a while but with the lack of proper maintenance the OEM battery ended up toast. Supposedly the controller battery works fine after testing. Only comes with one generic battery so a little sucky there but at least it's a new one. I'll still need to buy at least one more though. Hard to believe the P4 was released over four years ago but figure it will still pack a solid punch for my uses at the moment. The extra wind resistance will be nice to have here especially in the fall. Will update again once the critter is in my hands (early next week) and I've given it a good go over. Oh and one more thing, yo Chris! Check out what comes with it...soon as I seen that backpack, I knew this was the one! lol ✌:D✌ [ATTACH type="full" alt="p4inbag.jpg"]13219[/ATTACH] ($300 when it was new, included with the deal!)
