Line of sight... I had to keep increasing altitude so I could still see it beyond the tree line. After 700 meters I couldn't see the tiny dot anymore but I pressed forward. I made sure to test return to he first and initiated return to home after going forward for about 2-3 minutes.

I have had mine around 1250 meters before. Some have claimed beyond 1300 meters.

On the screw that is furthest to the right there is a small crack starting to form from inside the screw hole toward the motor mount screws. Is this a big problem? Could I put some hot glue in the crack to help prevent it spreading further? It may be hard to see in the photo but I attached a...

I have an Iphone 5 as well. I borrowed a samsung galaxy s2 today and got much better range. If the iphone loses connection it closes the app instantly while the android version will drop out but give you some time to reconnect. Sometimes there are bad spots where the wifi drops out but will...

I flew about 350 meters today but my camera died mid flight and wouldn't turn back on. After about 10 minutes I pressed the power button 1 more time and it came back on...... Very strange. I tried recording mid flight when I was 350 yards away and I lost connection. That's when I landed and...

Is anyone using repeaters using the android app or are there some using the iphone app? I notice with the android app it connects to the wifi within the app while on the iphone you have to connect to the wifi in iphone settings first before running the app and clicking on the camera name...

I typically get between 130-170 meters with mine if I use my iPad 3. With the iPhone 5 the video is a bit more choppy and slightly less distance.

The firmware on this one doesn't ask for available networks, but the MAC address of the base station(fc40 camera) which I found out using a wifi analyzer. I also set the channel to be the same(channel 9).

I just went and bought a netgear n450 and tried to configure it as a repeater. This one makes you set a static IP address for the repeater. I set it to 192.168.1.102 just to make sure. I also changed the ssid to one different number at the end like everyone else does. I then select the...
