On your descent did you pull back on the stick to increase its descent rate? Or even with that it still feel like it took forever to come down? Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk

I think it would be just for the challenge of doing it at least once. Some of us have wished we could go beyond the 500-meter height at least once. This is not that much different than so many of us going to the limit of how far as we can fly in a straight line and return safely. Sent from my...

I wonder if anybody else is going to try this. Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk

Those are usually UFOs. LOL

I've gone out 4.2km all stock flying over farm fields.

I have 2.5.1 and it locked up on me when my phantom was hovering 100 meters up. I was going to take a panorama and it somehow locked up the app. I had to shut the app down and restarted and reconnect and then it was good after that. Not something you want to see. I felt a bit vulnerable for a...

I can't say for anyone else, but 95% of the time my quad is flown within sight. I'll push it from time to time because it can do it. If it was restricted to close flights, then we can just save our money and get a quad at a quarter the cost.

No... I can't see it when it's at the 500m height limit in DJI GO (as opposed to Litchi) against the bright sky. I doubt anyone can. If I try for height, I tend to keep it close. This is where I rely on the onboard camera pointing down to get visual feedback. I'm assuming others do the same...

My eyes. They're good like that. Also, due to the weather yesterday, the planes landing at the airport about 20km away were landing in an east/West line. I'm far north of them. Generally speaking they never come overhead for landing. I live on the edge of farm lands. It's perfect for flying...

Hmmm... Looks like that worked out pretty good.

I'm using an older version of Litchi which still allows a maximum altitude of 6000m. I can manually take it up 578m before loosing signal on my first attempt. My goal is 600m.

That's how I had it. I remember this video.

I did try to keep it as parallel as possible to the quad. No matter what I did I could not regain connection. I flew it out away from me a bit and then straight up so as to try not have it directly over me.

So out of curiosity I'm wondering why I lose signal when I go 578 meters up, but yet I'm able to go out at lower altitudes to 4 kilometers? You would think that if you can go out for kilometers with full connection, surely you'd be able to go up at least one kilometer without losing connection. No?
