Nice work! It was worth hauling your bird up there to get this video, I also like your choice of music. I would have liked to see you fly to that next summit and take a look on the other side and around, I pretty sure you would have enough flight time to make it there and back. In no wind or against a slight wind with a fresh battery take off and cruise at 30mph (tops for power vs distance) till 60% battery turn around and make your way back. Thanks for sharing!
thanks IntoTheAir it was a cold one waiting for the timelapse lolLooks beautiful! great video!
thanks Erised iv never pushed the bird past a kilometer distance.Nice work! It was worth hauling your bird up there to get this video, I also like your choice of music.

It is nerve racking to first times you go far and have to trust RTH if you lose signal. If you want to improve on range windsufers help and DBS2 antennas will take you as far as the battery can bring you back, about 7 km out. If that next hill is East Lomond it is 4.71 km away, I checked on google earth and this looks like where you are, I think. You may need a better antenna but you location is very good for flying lucky you, I wish we had hills like that here. I am Canadian with Scottish decent and I plan to visit in the near futur.thanks Erised iv never pushed the bird past a kilometer distance.
i would have to measure that distance to see but i am sure a p4 could handle it
hi Erised i pushed my p3 out 1004 meters a fortnight ago at the forth road bridgesIt is nerve racking to first times you go far and have to trust RTH if you lose signal.

that is stunning Erised it does look cold as well & i see what you mean with the gaps sometimes furtherHi again Toorboy, I hope this works, here is a photo taken a few hundred yards behind my house .
It was cloudy all around and a hole about 10km across opened up and gave me a bit of time to fly before more snow flew.
The other one is my WhiteHouse (greenhouse with white plastic) in my back yard, I store my summer things in winter and my winter things in summer View attachment 70181 View attachment 70182
