So what exactly is it that you do? Fly out to your house and land? Because there's no way you're coming back from that distance on 37% battery lmao.

I came back to the take off and landed. I had a tail wind and landed next to my car with 6 percent
I just lost signal but still have screen shot of go app during flight. Used Windsurfer Antenna.

What kind of battery mod is required to get 40k feet?! That's just crazy. I couldn't see myself getting more than 23k without needing to return to make it home safely.
Thanks for the updated leaderboard . Some very impressive numbers . I don't like being on the bottom . My next flight will be less conservative !!

Guess I'll have to finally do another long range flight to keep from being overtaken!

...and the other race to be the first to not make it back begins! 
The ocean floor will soon be littered with slightly used wet P4's from those whose P4's died trying valiantly!

42k round trip using Litchi and a boosted DBS setup, close call toward the end.

Thanks! 20-25 minutes seems to be max flying time we can count on. 23 minutes to 4% means closer to 21 minutes without the pucker factor of realizing your Autolanding is happening over the wrong house!

Yeh it was a fully automated landing over the wrong house..... Litchi must have got confused or something lol.Thanks! 20-25 minutes seems to be max flying time we can count on. 23 minutes to 4% means closer to 21 minutes without the pucker factor of realizing your Autolanding is happening over the wrong house!
I'm now fairly sure in "P" mode, I. E. Autonomous Litchi missions, 22mph is the most effecient, it was actually not a great flight, I managed to autonomously complete the same mission earlier and landed WITHOUT taking control at 13%, I'm guessing this run had a little sidewind, I tried a 46k using Litchi but had to do an emergency landing in the name of safety. I think it will be possible. @JakeMaxxUAV ...... don't mind if I do.....
You know what I want...

Being the owner of Maxx UAV, my numbers are pretty depressing haha!! I'm right there with you.
heh heh.. just pulled the trigger on a p4 AND the itelite DBS02 maxxrange?
hopefully will be here before the SD trip late next week.
ie I HAVE the 2nd release of the p3p but the motor mounts are cracking inspite of ultra gentle landing etc I do all flight practice on a HIRO combat chassis.. so no excuse for the p3p to be going this way from the 2nd flight
otherwise would keep it(managed to score a complimentary new shell so will move guts to same test for ok.. and then put up for sale..
will do the mod and then measure against the p3p
hzl

MaxxRange antenna has not been released yet. Should be out by the end of the month / early next month.
What's the benefit of Maxxrange vs current antenna? How much more will it be?

The MaxxRange is a much larger panel, it will have an approximate 5dBi larger gain than the current model. There will be two options when purchasing.
Option 1 is for those who don't currently have an ItElite antenna for their DJI. It includes all the cables and bracket and it will sell for $129
Option 2 is for those who already have the ItElite, so they don't need the bracket or cables. So just the panel antenna only. That will sell for $78
Approximate availability is late this month or early next month.
