I finally got up to a respectful distance tonight on two flights. The longer one was 26,243.5' with a total roundtrip of 52,624'. The shorter flight was 26,106.4' with a roundtrip of 52,318'. This was done with stock P4 with a

I did it! I did it! I got over a million on my "Growth of Value!" I'm at 1,003,780 now!!! I'm sure y'all all care. I still want to know what that number means, and how it is calculated.

That's a along ways to have 63% battery left. Just saying. Unless you've discovered some secret speed?

A short while back, I did my longest trip at that time of 22,136' where I turned back at 61%. I started getting the low battery alert somewhere right below 70%, so I went down into the low 60s before turning around. Also, I use RTH to come home at 22 mph, and I turn off sensors and lights. I think I got home with about 10% battery.
Tonight, I flew from a different location, and I turned around at 62% on my first flight at 63% on the second and longer flight. On both of tonight's flights, I flew around in the 29/31 mph range at 200'. The first flight, I came back at 2%(I hope to never to that again), and on the longer flight, I got back at 9%. There are factors which got me back with more battery on the longer flight, but I'm hoping it is because I turned off the camera at 30% to see if it made a difference.
Also, can I go into the 50% range in Sport Mode and return in Sport mode at the higher speed than the 22 mph of the RTH-giving me longer range? Most of my long distance flights have been in Tap2Fly, and I have always used RTH for the return trip. What do the experts say is best for longest flight?

Thanks. Conditions were perfect for a distance run. We finally had a still day, and the super moon helped with lighting out in the desert where I was flying.
Also, both batteries I was using have over 50 flights each. I don't know where the sweet spot is in the life, but I was impressed they haven't started draining a lot faster, especially since I leave them drained around 15% until I fly again.

Landing at 2% w/ the p4 seems more exciting/dangerous than with any other phantom[emoji41]

It was not what I had bargained for, that's for sure. I was flying way farther than I ever have so my experience was limited when it was best to turn around. As my bird was returning to home, it starting self landing at 10%. I caught a quick glimpse of it going down about 200 yards or so away a little to my right, and saw that it was losing altitude fast from 200' on the screen. I throttled it up and forward in the nick of time, making it home at 2%.
I've only had one other time like that where I luckily found reeds lying flat on the side of the desert road where I hastily set it down. I would have continued to my home point if I knew I could have flown it instead of just controlling the decent like I thought I was only able to. I was very relieved it had no damage at all when I recovered it. I thought my above 2% flying wasn't going to end up that way since I was unable to pick a relatively safe spot to land in the desert in the dark. Lucky me.

Well, minimum requirement is large gonads, or pocketbook. Good weather helps. Careful planning, a really good battery(s) and a great antenna.
