Well, a planned one way flight, with someone at the other end, doubles your coverage distance, if the control range doesn't initiate a RTH from signal loss, in which case it could spell disaster, as it won't make it back home if it has flown more than 50% of the maximum flight time, when it triggers RTH, and then you'll need to put it down somewhere safely and discretely, and drive to recover it, before someone else finds it and "removes" it!
Yes which is why a one way trip would require good planning, you actually gave me an idea to test range extenders max potential
What if (I'm thinking out aloud) you were to use litchi and set a one way long trip to a certain destination where you would have a spotter, then proceeded to send it out on the mission, now you could just monitor the screen until you loose signal and record that distance, and your drone will continue on its mission, then do the same with another range extender but setting it as missions on litchi it would continue if signal was lost so you wouldn't have the problem or it trying to rth or rth land as long as the final distance was within battery distance one way but you could just set a 20 min mission in a line with a few waypoints? Hmm this got me thinking that would be the ultimate range test because you don't need to worry about coming home, or losing signal and have it land somewhere you don't want it to? Thoughts?
