[QUOTE="Sparky5332, post: 66227, member: 9876"] I went out this afternoon and flew over the lake. At first I was just flying close to the shore then I thought let's see how far I can go. My previous distance record was just over 700 meters (a little under half a mile) which was also over water. At 700 meters connection was shotty and I brought it back. Today I went out, sport mode, guns blazing! 500 meters... 750 meters.... 1000 meters! Omg, no problems! I pressed on. I double checked my height, adjust up a little bit and keep going, 1400 meters. Get the video warning so I adjust the antennae and it clears up, I keep on going. 1800, 1900, 2000! 2 kilometers! Omg! Video warning again, keep going, I don't need video. 2100, 2200, 2300! I can't believe it! 2400! I start losing connection, but I see 2400, 2420, 2430, 2440, connection quits..... Gone. No video, no connection. Nothing. I hold my RTH button and wait. My connection comes back, thankfully. It's coming home and it's now a race against the battery. I'm holding my joystick up to keep the speed up and I wait. I don't know where Jerome is, what direction to look.... Finally I hear Jerome coming overhead and get him back over dry land with 17% left. I couldn't believe my eyes! 2,462 meters (1.5 miles) What is the furthest you've taken your drone? [/QUOTE]
