So disappointed in myself. Signal went to **** around 14.6K I ended up manually turning around, and then reattempting because the signal came back strong. Well you can see it in the log. When I got back I had like 11+ mins of battery left. SMH

It was a nice attempt though! Thumbswayup

Have you tried flipping the AC antennas?

I haven't, actually didn't know you could. Still wet behind the ears LOL Gonna research this right now actually

EDIT: Found it already

EDIT #2: Was wondering, do you guys force 2.4GHZ or are you just letting the RC choose the frequency?

I force 2.4 always.

Think DJI would ever do something similar to this?

SkyProwler

This is the holy grail of drone configuration IMHO

Oh ****. I think the Parrot fixed wing LTE mod is pretty sweet too.

If you have experience fighting the auto landing, you could have possibly made a contending record attempt on that flight. Nice work.

That is an astute observation. They are only 1 number different.

Your right I was not sure how it would work out. So i played with it after that flight an seems it would go up when I hit stick all the way down to 0%. The beeping is horrible

I am submitting this UNLIMITED CLASS flight for consideration to be placed on the leader board.

PS - this is my new personal best on any drone at any time

I watch the wind at my locale every day for months on end and the wind just continually howls. Tonight it calmed down to 8 mph sustained and I took a shot with this factory bird +3 factory battery cells. Each cell had a toe warmer pack and taped wrapped in packaging foam. The bird AUW was 1477 grams with 11550 mAh. Landed with 3.62 volts left in the tank. Probably could have gone another 4-5 minutes, but was flying over water.

Very nice flight beanbubba, congrats on the personal best as well! Thumbswayup

Nice flight Bean! I think you can do 50K with that set up. But be careful flying over water, don’t get greedy like I did and end up with a MP resting in Davie Jones his locker[emoji1]
