Wow! For those of us here in the USA that's 4.68 miles... Impressive!

Haven't you already been outed as fake in that other super long range thread (https://mavicpilots.com/threads/5000m-flight.76349/)?

"our flights"... that's not YOU though thats someone else.
The flights themselves are real but it's not you and not your kit.

 

[Longrange Tony]

Of course it's not me. Flying beyond visual line of sight is illegal. I'd never do that.
Some other guy does this.

after 1700m the battery is 100%...ha ha ha good joke, that is totaly fake

 

[Longrange Tony]

External battery - 2200mAh 2S LiPo

 

[WooZie]

RTH works with 24-28 km/h, not 40+ like yours

 

[Longrange Tony]

Try RTH with wind from behind.

Our Flights? you don't even know the pilot. I do, and he said your're are a "TIT" lol

 

[WooZie]

in that clip the wind comes from front, that is why you get the messages about wind

The video does appear to be real and the extra battery cause the odd 100% readings. It's FAR from standard and from what I read it's using two x 2w amplifiers into directional antennas that you'll see on the end of the youtube video. It's far from stock but still real.

did i say its not real in my post, calm down chill, i never thought my sense of humour would get that sort of reaction

 

[zeusfl]

I did not recall you say is fake. I am just adding information about how he gets it done. I am cool with that.
The only problem modifying the batteries is that one battery will drain first then the other one will go below 3.2V destroying the cells. It will be good for 2 or 3 flies and then you have a bad battery.

That was my discussion with him on the youtube channel. He says he is destroying LiPos continuously because of that issue. The trick will find a way to discharge all the cells equally.

Maybe an explanation to what happened with the FCC-post is what people are expecting before we take your posts in good faith.

I thought he was just wiring the second battery to the output of the first so making them run in parallel. Surely this would protect them from draining like this.
