Distance and altitude bests?

[Del]

1.7 miles with FPVLR just now and I did not hit RTH. That was far enough for me this run.

I might go further tomorrow when I have more daylight. It was getting dark.

Wow.... I'm thinking of getting the FPVLR soon..specially when I hear it makes that kinda of a difference.. Well worth the cost..

What was the max distants before the upgrade?

Unfortunately it will self destruct.

Sorry just had to say that. No it should return to home. Now here's the kicker. If your about 49 feet it will stay that high if below it will go to 49 feet. So if you have trees hills or whatever around 50 feet u will hit it on way back. I'm not even gonna tempt telling you about tower learn to fly good first then come back. Keep it line of sight!!

There is a thread in the forum that will show you how to change the RTH height. I would recommend change the height to 200' which would most like clear the trees and arrive home safely.

Stock around a 1/2 a mile.
$20 Alfa antenna 1 mile plus but I did not hit RTH with it.
FPVLR 1.7 miles and I have not hit RTH with it either.

I live in the country so there is not a lot of wifi congestion.

Out in the country I've gotten a mile with stock but in town no more than 1500 feet or so.

It depends on how much you want to spend and how far you want to go. For short to medium flights you cannot go wrong with the Alfa, however to get serious distance go with FPVLR.

 

[oldcolonel]

I usually hit about 1100' before it triggers RTH. Anywhere from 300'-400' up.
I'm in a suburban area with some Wi-Fi interference. Stock Antennas.

Here's a shot at about the extent.
I'm standing near the water tower, which I later realized had cell antennas mounted just above me.

do you get any indication or warning before it triggers rth?
is the wifi signal for that purpose and did you lose video before rth. as you can tell i am new to this.

 

[bill wykle]

There is virtually no warning when RTH kicks in. You will see the video scramble and at the same time, the RTH appears on your phone/tablet. Thankfully it works.. LOL

My Solo goes to 400'

 

[Doug Benson]

I have on stock antenna and one Alfa apa m25 and got 1 200" at 200" only lost 1 bar of signal. But I lost that bar almost immediately. I just got my new FPVLR helical antenna but haven't tested it yet. I will post update... please hold...View media item 62

Well I went out today with the new FPVLR and it wasn't very good, there were some power lines near by but flew up and further away from them, they were maybe 50 yards behind me.
There is also a cell tower with maybe a mile or so.
I got 200' up and 1200'out and I only had 2 bars left. It was also windy and some storms were coming fast. It did RTH once too at about 750' out, I just reset to fly mode and kept going but video started to glitch a bit at 1200' and saw some lightening in the distance so I came in closer.

First impressions of FPVLR SOLO antenna... not very good. * one star only cause it looks cool.
I'll try it again and see how far I can go over the weekend.

There are people who go around making up fake reviews guys, they have no order number, or FPVLR antenna so watch out.

Busted!

3.8Miles with FPVLR antennas

I'm gonna have to spend more money and get one. I like the way they look and I'm sure they are less bulky than the DBSmod antennas.

I gotta say your FPVLR helped my out in ways I cannot express. I live in a very rural area and could only go to 500-600 feet before RTH. With your antenna I can easily travel all across our farm and not work anymore.

 

[Boogieman]

Here is both of my reviews. Keep in mind I do only fly line of sight and couldnt get the solo past 600 ft before I installed the FPVLR.

It was under my wife's name as it was a present. Try looking for Kurland.

Unbusted.

Your move FPVLR.

 

[Hoover185]

I have gotten mine up a few times to 400' high, then I lose signal and it goes RTH. I have the app set to "no limit" but I suspect it's programmed to top out to keep us legal. Doesn't make sense that I can get over 3000' distance in the country but lose signal at 400' high in the same spot. Am I missing something?

 

[Doug Benson]

LMAO!

 

[Doug Benson]

Seriously, FPVLR the point was only to pass on information on my first use.
I fully expect to get some Real distance upon further use. I have no doubt the distances
achieved by the other users are real.
