I took my P3p out early today(no wind) wanted to check range with latest firmware..got out to 6140m (20,144ft) before losing signal and eventually landed with 7% battery. I was a bit worried on return journey as app crashed, thank goodness for that
RTH feature (phew).

wow i did a 4.2 mile flight and had 50% left after i landed

No mods at all just Corbon fiber props. Maybe your battery is bad how long have you had it ? Do you have 2 ?

Battery only 2 months old..only got one, I should buy a spare. Maybe on last flight rth used more battery power than flying back in ATTI mode..not sure?

Atti mode don't drain the battery more I think it's your battery I would do a hover test on a full batt and time it then I'll do one and will see

Question about Atti mode. Never tried it before. I'm really good flying Manuel with just about anything. Can I turn it to Atti mode and fly at any given time to see what it's like and switch back to P mode ?

Flew the bird last weekend in ideal conditions (cloudy no wind) in an isolated area along the coast. This is the furthest I can go with the P3P stock no mods...so I will be doing a battery mod very soon. cheers!

You may want to add your flight was one way with a tail wind, so you don't confuse people lol

When I first read this thread I was amazed at the distance people are flying....I keep my close to home as I'm using it primarily as a flying tripod for still photography. I was interested to see how far 4.47 miles is from where I live, and I use this website that allows you to view on google maps any distance in a straight line, and thought others might find it fun as well to see where you would get to if you flew 4.47 miles from home....

Ya it's pretty cool how far these birds will fly!
What really amazes me is the video feed distance!
