Right... would hate to see the pilot lose control and have his drone wreck havoc on all those completely empty hills! Imagine the destruction!
I am assuming this flight compiled with altitude regulations and monitored for surrounding air traffic.
This particular flight is magnitudes safer than many, many other LOS flights near buildings, cars, and people.
I'm once again flabbergasted how some posters are so eager to stand on their soapbox and scold, turning any thread into a conversation of this same topic when the pilot has demonstrated excellent judgement regarding the location at which he flew.
To the original poster:
That is some impressive range! Thank you for posting as during these Michigan winters I frequently fly my M2 from my car and have been wondering how well the MM's signal strength compares under these conditions.
