Now we need to aprove with all if this is right, if somebody can help us to certified that done flight is the longer one in the world.

How did you do that ? Even with reflectors, mine hit a max of 2.2km

 

[Flavio Brilha Brandao]

Hi dude, it was not me, its a brazilian guy.
He used reflectors SunnyLife and flying in mode Fcc.

Very impressive. Sparky for sure has some capabilities.

The choice of terrain and weather was paramount to this epic flight. The high vantage point and low valley was key. You did not need to expend battery climbing high and assuming the valley and thermal currents help provide updraft looking at how little power you were consuming on average (only 30 to 40%) Also, the valley gave you good separation from RF / WiFi interference to allow for long range flight, guessing you were ~600ft off the valley floor?

Great flight, and hair raising during the final stretch.

Hi dud, this not my flight, it's from a brazilian drone pilot, take a look his profile:

"dude" has an "e" on it... in English, dud is something that does not work! Just helping out!

Wow, cool achievement. Dustin Dunill has done many of his range tests from a mountain side launch point in Hawaii, same sort of conditions, its all over farm land and very little wifi around.

Critical landing... meh

I'm sure the flight went out of L.O.S therefore it would be illegal in most countries. Not sure if this is allowed in Brazil

Record for a selfie drone, about as meaningless as my dopey neighbors cutting a lawn full of nothing but weeds....

It's illegal in Brazil too, like flight more than 120m h. By the picture the drink is not registered in ANAC, than, everything is wrong.

My personal record. My Sparky return with 0% and crach in front of me (from 0,40m altitude) lol..Stock antenna with reflector

 

[thewhatever]

Dunno if the Spark battery is enough to reach this distance!
BTW could we find one day a third party battery for spark with bigger capacity like for Bebop drones?

Everyone has the right to choose what they like, and we like to make long range with this"selfie drone". Cheers.

Pretty much illegal anywhere.
Point being, it went out 6,437.37m and came back
And that is pretty much the record for distance because of battery failsafe.

 

[Northwood Mediaworks]

Tello is a selfie drone, the Spark is so much more. But haters gotta hate.
