There are several, I think rrmccabe (Rich) holds the record on this forum with stock antennas at close to a mile I believe.Just wondering if anyone has pushed the range on their solo?
so far i was just brave enough to fly it 600 meters away at maybe 100 ft altitude.
the windiest day id guess maybe 10-12 mph?
out here in corona, ca. and a short flight in Huntington beach, so far.
I fly strictly line of sight. But that is just me. I feel that if I cant see it and loose signal then hope return to home works. If I seeit I can manage it and not worry. Ive flown helis to drones for roughly 10 years and this is just my practice as I live in a very rural area.I was just wondering if it's really safe and sane to be flying these rather heavy missiles hundreds of feet high and miles away. I've tried to think of a rational reason other than to just see if it's possible. I'm personally nervous about folks doing stupid things with these (non-toys) and ruining it for those of us who are serious videographers and don't want to cause problems or destroy other peoples property. Since getting into aerial videography, I've couldn't help but notice that these air frames can be dangerous if used improperly. Just a thought. Anybody else concerned?
Down and slightly spread as it shows in the manual.
So pretty much line of sight means it's best to aim the controller at the solo the whole time? I noticed it tends to RTH even when it's directly above me at 3-400' height
