I got 3.3km (11000ft) away from home over water using Alfa antennas. The video stream was stable as well.
What's the furthest you've flown?

Steve were you still flying LOS? Heck of a place to lose gps and switch to FLY MANUAL......
 
I've been out 3500' with wifi upgrade and rexuav antenna. This was with 2 other solos flying right next to me. I had 2 bars still but didn't want to push it. This summer I'm going to do the long haul at the beach.
 
Just put some Alfa's on last night managed 839m in a WiFi congested area.
Up from 429m of the originals although I was expecting more, my ghostdrone 2.0 manages 1500m straight out of the box.

That's about 1000m to 1100m standard antennas?

If you range test at the same spot where you know the obstacles you can easily do a long range range test at night with bright lights. Los is easily achievable

I went 4599 ft with stock antennas on the levee near my house, i stopped because i lost vlos and was nearing a freeway overpass. Not sure how much further i could have gone.
 
Since i have posted this, some people have taken my posting as literally
How FAR CAN YOU GET OUT :)
This post was meant to be humorous, As the i found it & read it in on FB... Nothing more ,nothing less

I DO NOT condone any infractions of the FAA rules & regulations
Line of sight is LINE OF SIGHT.
Again my apologies to all that has misunderstood my intentions with this post.

Enjoy your Solo.....
