    How should I store/use my batteries?

    When I fly with a commercial airline I use electrical tape to cover all battery terminals not installed in a drone.

    HAHa that's funny! That elephant resides on a street in St Louis, MO

    Just looked into it. UAV Forecast?

    Understood through experience. There have indeed been a few flights that were close calls because I lost track of my headwind.

    I take in to consideration wind, trees, and tall buildings when flying. My LZ is always clear for landing and my RTH set above all known obstacles. I try to keep a clear vector between myself and the Mavic. I guess my next attempt should be in a large open field.

    Both, roof top launch above most surrounding structures, and open topography with trees 75'-100' in height I have yet to reach 10,000 feet. I am more concerned that my Mavic Pro may be experiencing a governor of sorts or a problem during production of the unit.

    I am using a Galaxy 8+ and running Litchi. No matter where I seem to fly I can at best only reach 3300 feet from the RC before my connectivity bar signal indicators drop off, then to red, and then nothing. Any thoughts on the matter?
