I had complete Tx control of the P2 in both cases, so I'm tempted to go even farther sometime.

knuckles said:I've been nervous to go too far in case I get too far out of controler range since RTH is very slow. It wouldn't be good to RTH from far since battery could get low coming back at a snail's pace with RTH

Hehe, oh really? I did a few long distance runs using my stock transmitter. Here's a video I made going 2200 meters (1.2 miles) from home point over the ocean. In this particular case I took off into a mist layer that obscured my view of the phantom after about 80 meters:

But my personal best is 2650 meters (1.65 miles). Again, it was ideal conditions over ocean with no interference:
