Just thought Id share, I went 3.2 miles out last night. It was the most nerve racking experience.
Boosted Maxxantenna still full signal at that distance, headed out at almost 40mph and when I hit 3miles figured I'd turn around. Scary thing, my battery line that tells me when to return already passed that point warning me I'm not going to make it. What was worse, my return trip was only 16-18mph as I forgot the wind was in my face. freaking out had a friend already in his car ready to retrieve the drone, I got to 20% battery and still wasn't close to home about a mile.
Thankfully I remembered to switch to atti mode and once I did I went from 18mph to about 23-24mph. It was enough to get me home.
Healthdrones says my signal score was at 23 @ the furthers point, 16,500 ft or something, same signal score I had @ 500 feet, lol. I don't think I'll be trying anymore distant runs, I'm in a very congested area so 3 miles is a huge success IMO. Over flat ground I could only image how far this thing will go.
As for the boosters, I wrote a nice thankyou to Jacob at Maxxuav, after a lot of failures with the equipment, jacob was determined to fix it and after installing new internal cables and him sending me his personal setup, its working awesome! penetration, going through trees is what I really got it for and its great!
just thought I'd share

So do I battery mod or not? lol
