Well I know I said I was finished with long distance but the conditions this morning were
just too good and managed to hit the magical 6km mark. :shock:
Took a drive to Aberdeen Beach and had a great flight - until the battery let me down!
Observations from this flight:
DONT presume that if you go the max distance at 55% battery that you will have enough power to get all the way back, if you hit a head wind then you probably wont manage it. (had to perform safe emergency landing at 14% battery)
Lots of radio noise at this location, so fpv was not great, but the stock radio performed flawlessly.
Interestingly enough, the Phantom went into FS on the way back ?? must lengthen the 2.4 antennas on the P2.
