I used Google Earth to identify a place to fly that was wide open last fall. When I went to fly, the corn was so high that if it landed in the field I would never find it. Now I have a new P3P and I see how much better the range is than the V+ so I had to go out here to try it. Started off great but I ran out of field since it is only 2 miles long till the trees but I kept on going. I had to adjust the controller several times and angle it up to get the signal again when it started to get weak but it just kept on going. I looked at my battery and it was at 66% I knew that the RTH on the V+ went a lot slower than the full throttle I was using to get it out there.
I chickened out. I did not keep going and see how far till the return to home kicked in. I pulled back on the stick and started to have it come back toward me. It was at that time that is started to loose video signal. (I think since the antenna were at a different angle.) I used a screen recorder to get it all on the record. The DJI flight log uses flight distance and unless you go in a perfectly straight line it is not truly how far it is from you like it shows on the app screen. I don't know if I want to go out and try it again to see how much more I can push it. When people ask I can tell now them I can go over 2.5 miles.
Everything was stock with no antenna upgrades. Now time for you guys to go out and see how much further you can go.
