(2 Mile Flight) First of many distance tests.

I'm extremely satisfied with the direction this thread has taken overnight.

With those first posts, I was expecting people to come in here ready to crucify me! I'm glad some people are getting some beneficial knowledge out of my experiment, one way or another.

In residential neighborhoods with lots of trees, i'm only getting about 1500-2000 ft of distance before video breakups and weak RC signal warnings start occurring. Does this sound normal for most? I'm talking about flying out of my backyard.

Usually when I am in my neighborhood, which has lots of large trees (50ft+), about 20 houses, and varying elevation anytime you get outside of the immediate cul-de-sac, I can get about 3500 ft before I start losing signal.

so yeah it sounds like your location is probably has just a little bit more RF interference than mine.
 
I'm in the NYC area and I can't really get beyond 3K feet at 400ft altitude. But, im sure there is a ton of interference.
