so when you said you've been out there several times and then fool around a little bit, trying to make it past the limit, that means you knew that you was going to come up short and have to retrieve your bird short of homepoint three or four times? Because obviously at that distance you're already using up so much battery as you can spare.I don't think you coast past the limit. I have been out there 4 or 5 times at least. I've tried Sport mode , flying backwards , turning around after the limit is reached. Every flight gave me the exact same max distance 58,919 ft. I do like your idea though quickest run out to 58,919 and back takes the top spot. Makes perfect sense. Hopefully somebody smarter then me solves the problem , but until then your idea is the best alternative.
and just to be clear, I don't think going out to the max distance and then coming back the quickest should be the deciding factor, not flight time, I think whoever can come back and land with the most battery percentage.aka Airdata reports landed with 4% beats the next guy that landed with 2%.
because winds another factors May not allow some to get out there quicker but if you're willing to take the risk of packing on as much batteries as you can and make it back with 5%, until somebody figures out this restriction, which I think will happen,
that's kind of where I was thinking
