Thanks again for all your help! We have been using CsvView's signal data with pitch being critical for the development of our patented attachable aerodynamic arm covers and wings, which reduce power consumption by 15% and 40% respectively on the Mavic series (contrary to some forum posts).

Ok. Thanks!

...if these regulations are for safety, it doesn't make sense to force rural flying into more congested cities.

In a rural area with no trees I have had a strong signal at 3 miles away using 2.4 ghz.

Thank you for posting the documentation, it must be fairly accurate as you mentioned.

Thank you for your comment. I tried finding some specs but was unsuccessful. Is your value base off of antenna size, etc. or specs? I was hoping to find a definite value for development testing.

Does anyone know the dbi of the stock Mavic Pro antennas? Is it close to 5?

I agree that adding any device puts more load on the motors, cuts air time and speed which could be counter productive.

Parabolic reflectors work better on the higher 5.8 GHz infrequence available on the Spark and Air which behaves more like light and reflects better then the penetrative 2.4 GHz used on the Pro and available on the Spark and Air. Also, there's little performance gain because the receiving and...

That position of the sticks will have a fast controlled tight spiral descent, but the operator should be well aware of this if it's for more then 3 seconds.

I now have a question. When the Mavic auto lands does it keep idling until the battery runs out or does it shut down and stop the idling (without a stick shutdown)?

Sorry, I wasn't very clean, "make" was referring to RTH and "shut down" was when the motors stop and are no longer idling. I don't use RTH very often or ever had an auto landing, but I wouldn't think that it would restart for a landing and shut down and go back to idle and make or take commands...

I didn't think that the Mavic would make or take any flight commands after the motors shut down (if it was shut down) and it would have to be restarted?

I plan to do the same and was wondering if you had all the landing modes off and was the boat moving significantly up and down.
