I have just recently bought a used Phantom 2 that came with a GoPro 3+ for a pretty good deal. I have been flying it and recording video and photos, but am afraid of testing it's limits. How far has anyone here tested theirs and have you ever lost it?
This may sound dumb, but I had thought about attaching a fishing line (on a rod of course), and going to a very large open field and just sending it out as far as possible to see when I lose control. I wonder if a line would hold it in place until I move in to catch up to it and bring it back. The line would just be to keep it from going further once the connection breaks loose. I have the DJI AVL58 FPV System already on it and can see how far away it is, but thought it would be a nice safety feature just to test it once. I have read about so many fly aways and with what I have invested in the equipment, would really, REALLY, hate to lose it.
Thanks in advance.
