So with an antenna mod and a couple of more batteries you can make it to Kea Kea--

nicely done, makes me nervous when I got out 2K--LOL

It doesn't sound like he was trying to impress you or anyone.
Nice run! I'm impressed!

I'm impressed too. I reported his post inappropriate. Flaming is just annoying.

I think it's extraordinaire . . . And then some.
Being far-out is obviously where lt's at! Ateast for some of the brave adventurer's piloting their Phantom 3 way out there in these distances. ;-)

I get acid reflux beyond a certain distance. And then turn it back around and head for home. Remembering when I finally turned Maximum Distance off, it was like switching off Beginner Mode for the first time.
So sailing out past your previous distance is always exciting.

I do not see the point.

Wtg man really pushing the envelope........ looks like you had a few signal errors on the way back.
I observe similar signal errors on mine far better signal when the phantom is facing away from you.

I'm not impressed that the law was broken and this action will entice others to do the same.

The only laws that apply to this flight are the laws of physics, and those were not broken.

The flight was off the coast of Greece. Which Greek laws were broken?

it seems to me that when i go far out, let's say 13,000 feet and i'll get a good signal the whole way and then turn around to come home and that's when i seem to start getting poor signal and even total loss of signal!

i wonder if i came back home facing away would i get a better signal?

i will try it on my next long distance flight.

i love my Phantom!
