I headed to Annapolis yesterday to do some range testing & attempt a Bay crossing. I had the P4 & P3 Advanced with 7 batteries total. I was unable to use my intended launching point as it turned out to be Northrup-Grumman property with a gated road & lots of "Tresspassers will be shot" sort of warnings so I headed to Sandy Point State Park on the North side of the Western Bay Bridge landing instead.
The P4 did not make it across. Not that it couldn't have....actually I think it could. She made it 15,828' before I wussed-out on the battery. That was little past 3/4ths of the required distance but I got back with 38% battery remaining. Control & video was perfect the entire flight using only a Windsurfer.
