Not a real big deal i know others have gone much further . but did just over 10,000 ' away then got a phone call so hit return to home and let the bird fly back on her own . no aids in this and had a few video glitches but very minor . was hoping to get a full 15,000' may try again tomorrow
Flew my furthest distance today

Unless you absolutely had to take that phone call I would suggest you consider flying manually in preference to RTH at those distances. With only FPV you have lost any other opportunity to observe any potential hazards.

careful long range flying is addictive ..lol and try putting your device in aeroplane mode and you want get distracted by a call.
I agree but it was a call i could not not answer . My dad and he's going through radiation now . anyway it was 10,000 ft over a lake so no hazards other then the water . after all this is my replacement refurbished p4 that replaced the one i dunked a few weeks back . it flys better then the first . much less video feed problems and seems to get better signal
He means on his phone lol
got ya . put phone in airplane mode when flying so it's won't ring and get distracted . . lol
Just so you know i felt perfectly safe letting the computer fly the drone home . windy today so will wait to try for 15,000'

Oooooh!!! That makes sense.
I put my phone in airplane mode and threw it off the roof, thinking if would fly. That's why the Verizon people were laughing so hard.
