Hi guys.
I recently purchased a Phantom 3, and am fairly new to quadcopters and am hoping someone can answer some of these questions of about general flying please:
1. Do you get better signal to the Phantom if you're standing with the controller at the top of a hill flying down, or at the bottom flying up the hill?
2. Can you get longer flying distance from starting point if you fly higher? If so, what's a good height to generally stay at to keep a good signal?
3. I presume you can lose signal if you fly above trees/buildings and then behind them? But how risky is it? Do you nearly always lose signal, or is it just not advised because it increases risk?
4. The Phantom can fly to 500 meters high, but how risky is flying it so high? Do you need to do it on a day with almost no wind and even then it's risky due to thermals? What's the max you generally go?
5. At what wind speeds is not advisable to fly the Phantom in? What's the max speed you guys fly yours at safely?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
