Yes, same here. Not worth it is it. Fly safe and responsibly for best results.

The drone is 249g so not a requirement to register and take a test. I appreciate your concerns however.

Have just ordered the 2.4 GHz Yagi, we'll see what happens.

Pushkur, you're a voice of reason. Being a newbie here, I felt like I'd committed a cardinal sin and royally upset a few folks, not my intention of course. Ah well, there's some decent people here. Cheers buddy.

Nobody really owns land, at least they don't here in the UK, the Crown owns the land. Anyway, keep it low, nobody's going to get hurt.

Cheers, I'll have a look.

3 miles, incredible. Where did you get the parabolic range extender? Thanks.

Hey, if it's your land, do what you want I reckon. ;)

Yeah, gotcha. :)

So the 4000m is for FCC, I am CE. OK, thanks for that.

Fair enough, was just trying to test its limitations. I was flying it across open fields to a memorial building on the South Downs, didn't think it would be too much of a problem.

Very helpful, cheers

That's perfectly ok old man mavic. I just explained, it was incorrect phrasing. I can't physically see the drone, what I mean is that there are no obstacles between me and it when I lose connection at that range. I would just like to know if this is a common issue. Thanks.

What I mean is there's nothing between it and me. It is across a valley. :)

Hi all, I can seem to fly to about 1.25 miles with my Mavic Mini, although it's supposed to have a range of about 2.5 miles. I have full view of the drone when reaching this distance then the connection is lost. Any thoughts? Thanks.
