I set the max range at 3000m And went there with no problem what soever [emoji846].
As soon as there are obsticales,range is realy bad.i had many times with first warnings at -600m

There Ggrrreeat huh :)
But yeh, as soon as you lose LOS and get around buildings small and tall, you get your Wi-Fi and gosh knows what else interference, and your back to just over 1000m in most directions. 600 if it's a congested urban area.
Can you imagine 7km solid in Major cities! Lot's of possibilites.

Still a km blows your socks off if you've come from RC planes, or a Teal Drone.

Clear area to safely fly, lowest altitude to receive good signal, fly in straight line and you will fly even longer distance.

Not sure why much further then your flight. Flight was over water and grass land. Would not attempt in populated area. Landed with 26 % battery.

See 3 Mile Club for more long flights.
 
Weather was nice ! Just before sunset.no wind.

Here the screen

I did RTH because I was losing the signal and already moved antenna!

Back with 29% of battery

Did this pic also

Now I want to try to flight at the same place but go to the opposite direction. I think there was interferences approaching the city....

I can think of a lot of cool shots close to the water spout, some might even be safe. Look forward to video. By the way where was is the water spout?
