Wow you must’ve got a good batch of the Multistar LiHV High Capacity 4000mAh 3S. Everyone I know that was flying them in the past couldn’t get beyond 49K. Our battery seem to be performing almost a denticle distance to percentage of battery. What is the weight Multistar 4000s? I believe my 2 LRP ANTIX 4600 Way 45 to 65 more grams. It might be worth trying a flight with one 4000 and one 5200 Multistar strap to the belly of the MP.

The 4000 LiHV multi's weigh around 275g, I would love to try some proteks but it would cost $248 just to have 2 delivered to the UK. I've just bought some normal 4000 multistar lipos that I'm going overcharge to 4.35 and see how I get on with those, I'll also try your idea of a 5200 & 4000

Thanks Bro, I was using 2 normal multistar 4000's overcharged to 13.05v

Thanks, I was determined to do this before the mavic 2 is released lol

With original battery also I presume ?

Yes

Here are my thoughts to improve upon this thread for the anticipated Mavic2:

Awesome flight dude!!

I think many of us are just now realizing what unknown caller figured out from the beginning. Overcharging the batteries to critically unsafe levels will yield excellent results (at least in my lab tests and others participating in this thread that I have spoken to).

But you still killed it and congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Dude!!! I just watched your video, just before your turn the elevation changed dramatically and you were on a direct crash course to the tree tops. Then you increased altitude at the very last second. Nice flying and so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: whenever you see any tree top extend over the horizon, flyer beware

Thanks bro, yep the ground is defiantly way higher out there. I already had a flight out there on my 1st run that day but turned back home above the trees at 52k

All updated guys. Sorry for the hiatus. Recently moved and just getting back into the swing of things. Let me know if I missed yours!

Don't forget about us bro thanks

Got some good feedback so far on the proposed new format for the next leader board for the anticipated Mavic2. But we need much more debate and feedback from all those that currently have a ranking here in this thread.

Please take 5 minutes and go over the proposed material and post your comments here:

Edit version #3 is done based on leader feedback. Would still like some feedback from all those on the current leaderboards:

I still hold the record for the longest RTH. Yes it was a Phantom.

My record of 1,000 miles has yet to be beaten. Here's the newspaper article to prove it.

So did you truly lose radio contact, or was this the known hard distance limit kicking in? And did you decrease breaking setting to get over the limit?

The hard distance limit kicked in. I have not made any adjustments to my breaking, I believe it still set at 100 or 130. Lolo is the only one I know that has turned off his breaking. That’s why he is 1250 feet a head of everyone. I am only went 8 feet farther then unknown caller 58,919 and only 23 feet further than **Mick** 58,904.
