I got as far out as 4km with the same setup yesterday.

No, this was done with the setup I posted here: http://phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13691

Today, I flew out to 4km with my Phantom 2 Vision+ :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PeVd5RCxxY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PeVd5RCxxY

I second that. I have a Vision+ and before that a Vision. Both came with the problem of one motor being slightly different from the others at idle (you can feel it when you spin them at idle!), but other than that everything is normal and I have never experienced a single problem when flying...

Re: 3.6km (12,000ft) Flight of a P2V+ over Water No, unfortunately, but I'm sure I have seen some on Youtube showing the various mods of a Vision. This is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEHzDi4hHKU&list=PLFK8uJPD8S_RyJE_pMsL2o9wAR6KXbJvS

Re: 3.6km (12,000ft) Flight of a P2V+ over Water When I landed my P2V+, I had 27% battery left. I have to admit, though, that the return flight was quite scary to me :o

Both my pinwheels are 2.4GHz for fpv. I haven't changed the 5.8GHz antenna on my Vision+ simply because this would involve soldering, which I am not particularly good at. It must be pointed out that the purpose of adding pinwheels for fpv is not to extend its range, since the original antennas...

I am using this patch antenna for control:

That is a 1W dual-in, dual-out 2.4GHz MIMO booster. I use it to boost the (receiving) range extender, not the transmitting end. I previously used a 2.5W Sunhans but thought it was a little excessive in terms of power output. Some people use one helical and one pinwheel on the range extender, as...

I got 3.6km, as documented in this thread: http://phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13575

Pics showing one of my favourite fpv setups Pilot end: Copter end:

Range Extender: This is the inside of the range extender These are the various adapter cables you will need for modding different aspects of the flight experience of your Vision+ The first three from the left are u.fl to rp-sma adapters. They are used for modding your range extender as well...

Re: 3.6km (12,000ft) Flight of a P2V+ over Water 12dBi 2.4GHz helical antennas (boosted to 33dBm) and 14dBi 5.8GHz patch antenna on pilot's end, and 2.4GHz pinwheel antennas on copter :D

This is another distance flight of my Phantom 2 Vision+, modded :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2_bskXrG2A
