[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 67790, member: 10850"] You can minimize obstructions by taking off from an elevated point such as a hilltop. And a parabolic antenna booster can add some distance cheaply. Also need to account for any wind... Generally speaking, the greater the altitude the stronger the wind. You can't perceive this effect from the ground. So going to the maximum height of 400ft (120m) unnecessarily can work against extended flight time. Best practice is to fly against the wind going away and then let the wind assist you on the way home. A cross wind adversely affects you in both directions. Greatest distance will be on the truly windless days. Lots of YouTube videos demonstrate the above Happy flying [/QUOTE]
