    Losing wifi connection at only 25 meters

    It was much better after I did the downgrade, I did a test flight before and only got altitude of 25 meters before video dropped out, and after the downgrade went to 60 meters altitude with no loss of connection. I want to take it out to a big open space to test but wont have time till weekend.
