[QUOTE="Virtual1, post: 20600, member: 4084"] Everyone just naturally likes to push their limits, it's human nature. I was just out in the park today and honestly I'm still a bit nervous flying it beyond where I can easily see it. "There's NO way I can see that little guy down there without binoculars. I known it's down there though, I can turn the camera around and see the area I'm standing in but not really see much more than a spec of where I am standing". OK time to turn around! But then again I live in a city the immigrants have named "the city in the forrest" because of all the trees we have in town. NOT safe for drones at low altitude! There have only been a few good days left to fly this year, and they've been waaaay too windy for me to trust for RTH. The two times I've tested it I've had to dump out and into sport mode to bring it back because it automatically climed up to RTH altitude and got caught in the higher winds and was being carried away despite trying to come back. Can't wait for next summer where I can have a bit more trust and bravery. As it is now, if I DO lose it, there's about an 80% chance of it getting treed somewhere, and we grow them to an average of 75ft around these parts. [/QUOTE]
