Can I get a ruling on this. It got to be a record.
I may call it Walter because it's cooking.

Looks pretty darn close to the airport!
Is it still in use?
Just answered my own question.
"The airport is no longer used and is in a state of total abandonment."
Carry on!

Seems their big casino plans for the land fell through...

Interesting question: if GEO is on, does GEO still let you fly there?

I did a video there too. I flew over it, then drove there to check it out. It's pretty spooky. It looks like a Walking Dead TV set.

Just abandoned aircraft everywhere. It's really neat.

New P4 World Record 62,013 ft. and back. Gotta hand it to my man Paul Shaffer at FPV Customs for getting me setup with this P4 mod getting crazy flight time out of this bird almost 45 min!!! It was windy as **** so I had to turn a little early. No where near the limit of this bird for sure. I am thinking 70k maybe on a calm day. Flew over 25,000 ft. in landing mode Lol!!! Below is the airdata log

Awesome! Glad you are still pushing the envelope! You rock! Reconfirms the 31 mph speed as the sweet spot for P4 distance runs. What external batteries did you use? Any other mods to the P4 bird, from stock, other than the $250 battery mod to accommodate the externals? What RC mod to accomodate the additional control range? Stock props, too? PM me, if you'd rather respond privately.

BVLOS... you do realize you’re on a Long Range flight thread...

About 15 spotters along the dyke each equipped with binoculars , and VHF radio's. I guess you can say it was a team effort Yenrab.

What's up brother long time!!!! I used my bread and butter Terminator Extreme antenna , and a pair of converted to lipo P3 batteries for externals done by Paul from FPV customs. They actually work real well.

Long time indeed!!!! Glad you are still at it! Will have to hit up Paul for a battery mod to my P4P and some new externals. Flight time maxing out at 24 minutes currently, all stock. Limits me to 58,000 feet total per flight, by pushing to 5% or less. Miss those 30+ minute flights!

I guess the administrators aren't as concerned about trolls as they used to be[emoji41]

I don't know what's more exciting the fact that unknown put a new record under his belt or that this thread actually has a post this year[emoji41]

Congrats on the flight,unknown.
