How far have you flown your Phantom ?

everyone has the same map picture, over water or farm lands..

lets see some of those over cities!

interference is something to overcome
 
P3P with NO fancy range extender, finally hit 1 mile. I did. however rig up a jenky DIY 2 CD disks slid over & placed behind the antennas. Without the CD's I couldn't break 1,600ft but now I'm reaching past a mile in a semi rural area.
5,280ft from school parking lot(closed, after hours)

I'm playing with DIY ways to extend range without buying the windsurfer & more expensive extended systems;-)
2-CD's glued together with some reflective stickers & cutout of soda can combo, lol:

Funny as it may look it cost me some time, glue, tape & stuff laying around the house to over TRIPLE my range!

Can you guys add what your using to extend your range or what kind of antenna setups your using to get the range your posting?

2.55 miles. Using stock bird and MAXXUAV antenna mod. I got about 2.3 miles with windsurfers. I only have one good flight path from my house and something kills signal around the 2.2 mile mark with any configuration I have used. I need to go somewhere remote and see how far I can go.
 
I did my farthest on Monday. I was visiting some family outside of Henderson, NV. Its was in the high 90s, and I came up on some hills, so I didn't push it to hard. 11,053.15 feet or 2.09 miles!

I know, I know, they were in NM, I just miss the show and the desert made me think of it.
 
I can get over 15000' or 2.84 miles each way with NO loss of signal at all and totally standard!
This is with a P3P and a 300B controller. Same P3P with my original 300A controller would get about 11000' before signal would drop!
More than happy and still haven't got around to fitting the DBS mod I bought!

Is that the copper one that amazon sells for about £10? I presume if you fly over just one wifi router, even if you are at 120m then signal is significantly affected?

Yes it is the one that Amazon sells. I fly in the countryside of bedfordshire, there are no houses for miles. Just miles and miles of farmland surround us. I have P3P and could just fly over 1km before the signal broke up with the windsurfer I have gone double the distance.
