It was in the desert with a straight 9mile road to drive and recover the unit
I mapped out points were I can land it safely
Didn't see one car or person for an hour. It's a very remote area
It wasn't a function of the location but the battery was my limiting factor. I think I could have flown at least another 2 miles.
Just shows how well this machine is engineered
I though the same thing about the additional reserve, but it wasn't the case. One it hit 1%, it fell out out of the sky.
I couldn't get it down fast enough
It starts to land at 10% but you can keep increasing your altitude. I Kept pushing it out as far as I can go, but I couldn't judge the altitude or I would have landed earlier. It was showing -825 Feet before it died and crashed.
Tried a one way distance run today. Got over 8 miles before the battery started to die.
Didn't have enough juice to land so I crashed.
It still had a lot of signal left so I'm sure it can go even longer if I had enough juice.
It can go 2x the distance that DJI claims
No mods and in open desert
I did 27,200 feet in the desert with almost full signal. Total was over 49,000 feet till I had to emergency land it as well.
Full stock remote.
I'm going to try a one way distance run to see how far it can go. I suspect over 7 miles.
I've also been in places that I lose total signal at 500 feet.
