For pure range testing, have a friend available by cell phone for retrieval at the other end, or 25% of the way back, of the distance you think you can cover. Hot air balloonists all fly one way, and have a chase crew for retrieval downwind. Those that are setting extreme records are all about a single record, and don't mind sacrificing batteries depleted to below 0% remaining and their aircraft to the cause, and all have ditch points along the way back!I want to try 2 x 600 gram 4,000 Mah battery! I don't care if it wrecks... It's had a good life. Go big or go home... I want to see how far my unboosted antenna will actually go.
Also, I'm starting to think that the MAXXUAV mod is freaking amazing for two small batteries, but if you want to do anything bigger, you're gonna need those few grams the BatteryCondom weighs! I've trademarked the name"PhantomBatteryCondom" in case Jake has to have it!
