    Can't fly farther than .5 miles

    Update: Flew up to 450ft a couple of nights ago, and was able to almost get to a mile away. Wasn't too much better but I think that does let me know I'm just in a low area with lots of trees that may block signal, rather than something wrong with the drone.

    Wow, 400ft? I've gone to 195ft, but that's as high as i have gone. I'm trying that tonight!

    I've kept it facing towards the drone. I am about 4 miles from a very small airport, if I hit restricted airspace, would that cause it to say "weak signal"?

    Lots of trees, and some buildings, yes. But I am in a very rural town, so I didn't think it would be so restrictive. Great idea though, I may try a range test this evening.

    Different locations. Could you explain the RC antennas being property orientated?

    I set to 'no limit'

    Can't fly farther than .5 miles

    I'm losing signal after flying 850m. I am a first time flyer, so I'm not sure if there is something wrong or if it's operator error. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
