Mile range , good ?

[Atom1234]

I flew today out of my back yard and I was only able to go about a mile , I also flew yesterday and was able to get 1.2 miles is that good range ? Is there anything I can do to get more from it?

Many things impact range, from obstacles to interference.

Unless your back yard has 3 miles of flat, treeless, interference free land, I'd be pretty pumped from that range. If you want more range, read the previous sentence.

My best is 3.12 miles from a park, 250 feet up

3.12 that's great I was only 120 ft high

You're forgetting line of sight signal transmission. As the bird increases the distance at a fixed altitude the LOS on the signal flattens out, putting more stuff in it's path, to avoid this gain altitude as you gain distance.
