Sorry bud, 9,110 ft doesn't make the board. Need at least 11,999 ft to be in the top 30. Push that bird some more, it can handle it!

Dang, I am mind blown,Mindblower! Are you saying you had to fight the wind all the way back with the stock battery? That's pretty brave
Stock P3P - No mods... CE mode.
Spur of the moment rangetest... 7-8 m/s wind (tailwind out).
Lost video and signal at almost the same time.
Landed with 7% left on battery
Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app
And the total of: 10816,6 meter - 35487 ft
Range for signal: 5224 meter - 17139 ft
Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app
I would translate into crazy
Pure stupidity.... I was on a diff. mission, when the opportunity showed itself... Didn't think about return wind at all....
On the way back I monitored the battery and tried to calculate how much battery per 100 meters... I even said out loud "This might be a 1,000$ experiment
Next time I'd prefer wind in tail on my way back

Hello guys, I am new here and I want to show what I got, when was new windsurfer on testing. Last try with stock drone was 3100 m, with windsurfer - 4395,3 m (google says, that it is 14 420,2756 feet
)Landed with 15% off battery, so I`ll try to beat my personal best range next time

I guess it depends on who's asking an FAA agent or good 'ol Digdat!
No I use a tripod and set the antenna to aim just above the horizon then on the P3 A rubber band stretched full throttle. I hardly touch the controller or antenna. Just minor adjustments and then when it hits 10% critical battery autoland I get to do some actual piloting[emoji41]
I like it this way it gives me lots of room to walk around kicking dirt and thrown my hat down when I don't think I'm gonna make it back. I like to pace a lot

Beat my personal best at 21541 with maxx panel unboosted, no battery mod. Wind 16 mph blowing across and forward on the flight path, can't fly in the opposite direction on the outward journey as there are a lot of interferences. Turned around at %69 battery, still full radio signal, video started dropping in and out around 20000. Hit %10 battery 1700 feet away from home so had to fight the auto land for the rest of the way and landed with %6 battery. On the way back kept getting the low propulsion warming and at time was flying back at 20 mph. I thought I would never make it back. Silly to say but my heart was pounding and I ended the flight with the worst head ache ever!!

That wasn't a headache, that was adrenaline! Nice flight and welcome to the club Zuzua[emoji41]
