Official Mavic Air Range Leaderboard!

[DesJardins]

Sport mode is your friend when it comes to range. Make note: This is how other members have made it to the top of the list. These guys have surpassed the RTH point to push a little further.
Although sport mode was cancelled, they kept the forward stick maxed because it gave them a few extra MPH in RTH than normal. Just a tip for you guys on future runs.

Well son of a!
Hey, who’s that DesJardens guy taking my spot!? LOL

@Long Ranger here is my run. 7775m stock, landed with zero percent, no wind. Perfect flight for me minus almost not making it back. Flying from on top of a sand dune and landed on the beach water line in almost 5miles!

Got another flight in this morning! All stock and about 8 mph winds up in the Valley. Desert landscape (valley), no trees and very little signal interference. Signal was unbelievable all the way out. There was a whole lot of puckering coming back! Turn around at 5153m and 52% battery and I really didn't think I was going to make it back! I think the wind was a factor here, as I got higher into the valley the wind picked up (cross wind) or I think I could have gone out farther. By the way I recharged this battery and me thinks it's gonna be OK!

Very nice run! It's good to see you squeezing all you can out of your battery! looks like it's time for you to mod up! Getting more range is an addiction you know!

Thanks. Absolutely addicting! Definitely going to mod it up soon, I just want a crack at the title first! Just need a day with no hiccups and no wind!

Absolutely, Go for it! So far, no one on the list has lost their MA going for range except @JB999 , however he recovered his. Others that have were due to other situations, like crashes and or mishaps. Good luck making it to the top of the stock list. Hopefully others will get back into the competition and not lose their spot or position.

 

[mlash]

Yeah, it's no problem. I'm not worried about loosing a drone. The MA (as you already pointed out) is a very capable aircraft, like the MP, and I plan on modding the RC (I use the Titan Cyclone on my MP) and the AC in a couple of weeks to give the guys on the Modded board some competition.

Hope to see @DesJardins climb to the top as well!

 

[DesJardins]

Man I have lots of work to do but you know i’m going back out @mlash

 

[ScottyBorresen]

Hey guys
Thought I’d put this in there. My first try at a distance flight.
Out in the middle of nowhere. Flat outback Australia.
Was doing good speed on the way out, but the wind was blowing on the way back.
Can’t wait to go out again and try to do better. I wasted nearly 40 secs at the start getting the bird in the air and up to altitude before even moving forwards.

Hey Scotty,
Welcome to the board and great flight. Hope to see more post from you.

Hey Scotty, Thanks for your entry, however your screen shot image only shows your full round trip. I will need the max distance from your home point.
I cannot divide your round trip as it is not a accurate measurement.
Play your flight log again and take another screen shot only when the distance measurement is at it’s max. The measurements on the go app are as follows, (Flight Distance = Complete distance the aircraft has flown per flight)
(Distance = Home Point to aircraft during flight)
I hope this helps you understand what the requirement is.
Thanks.

I went out today to try for the Title but the wind would not allow me to succeed! I only got out 3 miles before it was time to turn around. It was a great flight and all went according to plan except for the wind. When I got up into the upper valley I had a crosswind - above 10mph. As I go out further the elevation rises and the wind is really whipping out there at times. To complete this task I will have to climb to at least 600 feet in elevation 3.5 miles out (I will be aprox. 150ft above the ground). Today my altitude was 500 feet, about 350 feet above the ground at 3 miles out!



A picture below shows a general idea of the area I'm flying. It gets higher and higher in elevation as I go out further. I had to climb up to 1640 feet to get out 10.5 miles with my Mavic Pro (I was only 400ft above ground. That was before this last summer.)!

Not to bad! Was this another attempt to break your 3rd position on the stock board? I say keep going for it! You’ll get there

Yes, but the cards just wasn't there today, maybe next week! On a side not though, today I did my first test flight on the Air with a battery mod. The wind was too terrible to try for any modded distance. I will at least try for 5 miles next week because I do not have an antenna mod yet.
