[QUOTE="Roland, post: 97456, member: 18393"] Same experience for me .5.8 in CE mode is a disaster. An OTG cable makes quite a difference . But a few 100 metres will be the max. you get in urban area In open space and on water ( why you think all those hundreds of “max range “ videos are on water) about 500 to 900 metres are possible . But even then after a few hundreds meters you will lose controll over taking pics or videos . I once did the test , setting it on a custom 2,4 ch. It went for 1200 meters ( on water surface of course). Then I got disconnected and that was it . After 6 minutes , Just when I was thinking about how to live with the loss of hundreds of euros, I heard a buzzing sound 30 metres upon my head. The most relaxing moment I had in times . RTH was doing it’s job. Last week , at last I succeeded in a conversion from CE to FCC . (The devil in disguise was channel 13) .FCC allows double 5,8 power transmission output compared to CE . All 5,8 FCC range tests on youtube begin and ends on 5,8 proving 5,8 FCC power output is enough for max range. On my first 5,8 FCC try over land 1320 metres without difficulties . I returned home due to the strong 40 km/h windstrokes. Next week next test. My conclusion, if you are satisfied with a small range and keeping your spark in sight, CE mode is ok. If not go to FCC mode . [/QUOTE]
