Yes dear, 500m vertically from take-off position but always only 100m (horizontally) away from terra firma next to a cliff.

Oh well, I took a small walk and here are my findings Pic 1 from Flight paths elevation 500 meters, please do not flame me for elevation, in an experiment the greater the volume the less the error Pic 2 and Pic 3 visual comparison on google earth and measurement tool gave me 370 X 700 meters...

Lost mine too......

Good morning Early today I send it out over water to find out range. After 4:30 minutes at distance of 2.5 Km lost connection. Message on tablet DISCONNECTED on red background. I kept calm and touched nothing. Luckily I was timing the flight so after 5 minutes I heard it overhead and watched it...

In the past few days as I downloaded the video files I got pics of the flight path as shown below. Now don't ask me how I got these, I don't know. Today thought there was no picture like that showing my flight path. Any clues as to how I can get pics of the flight path, that is what was I doing...

Great... Suppose it is beyond further repair, still have the RC and probably save the battery, would DJI supply craft only??? Plenty of used second hand adverts probably (definately) abducted. So what can I do after the inevitable occurs???

Waiting for the P4 to arrive. With the P3 I land. Did only one hand catch while I was trying to land in on my car's bonnet and hit the windscreen . You can check video at 4:50 especially me grinning in pain. No damage.
