Thanks man appreciate that bro. It was close the wind really picked up on the way back. I thought I had it easy turned out I had to fly it all the way down to zero.

Been long time boys 10.537 miles and back with the P4 and Max Range Panel. HealthyDrones.com - Innovative flight data analysis that matters

Nice to see you back flyin the little birds again! **** I'm here in Iowa with winter weather and you Florida boys are passing me up. Great flight Keith. That's a tough one to beat. I tried a few times to top my 55, gotten 50 to 54 and a lot of ditch landings. Believe me I know what kind of batteries it takes to take the P4 55K, and we're lucky anytime it comes back from that far with that much weight[emoji41]

Thanks Jake. Trying to talk my brother into getting your antenna. Hope my 5 mile trip will persuade him.

Haha, 5 miles should be doable on a stock battery.

Thanks Dirty I am trying to run down the over all Phantom record. I think with the right conditions I can get 60k

Thanks man I just have a really good bird. Big Chuck from DBSmods.com built it for me. He did some custom weight reduction, , power mod and a few other things. He's the best DJI drone modifier in the business. I have three World Records with drones that he has modified for me. He has complete Phantom 4 drones moded just like mine for sale.

Dayyyyyum Keith! Nice work man!

Dayyyyyum Keith! Nice work man!

Thanks Jake Had decent weather certainly not perfect but good enough to get the job done. I'm having fun good to be back on the Phantom leaderboard.

Nice flight bro unboosted too.

Flew 6856m ( 22493ft) out across the ocean to reach an island in the distance.

turned around at 63%
Freaked out when i saw the return speed was about half the speed i had when flying out!

Just made it back with 0% left and cancelling autolanding the last few mins

This was the scariest flight i.ve ever done

So for my stock bird with windsurfers, this is the furthest return trip it can do

Good job! Ive been close to zero, just not at it like you. Ive been below 5% about 4 times now, but I was freaking out each time, not ever wanting to...but I did.

Ive gotten away from distance runs for a while after getting into Litchi waypoint missions, but I will eventually get back so I can move up the leader board.

Always go the headwind leg first! [emoji16]

Also, you might've gained a bit more range by trying different altitudes as well. Wind is definitely NOT the same at different altitudes and you can also get some limited ground effect benefit if you're willing to get low (just not TOO low...)

I've been playing with sport vs normal ("P") mode to see whether the higher horizontal speed of sport mode yields better ranges or not. My hypothesis is that it will (same current draw, higher speed, longer distance achievable) but I haven't collected enough hard data on it yet. It's also tricky to get low in "S" mode since your altitude readings are... *ahem* not always reliable for precision work (you're talking about a situation where every 1' or 1m matters a lot).

My long range experimentation is over sandy beaches, NOT open water too!

Glad you made it back without testing "Submersible" mode!

I usually turn around at about 70% but was so close to reaching the island i thought i.d push it a little!

U might want to also test atti mode, i found i could fly a bit faster when in atti mode, probably cause of the wind assist

New Quadcopter World Record!!!! 23.34 miles 123,343 ft. One way with the Phantom 4.
@JakeMaxxUAV

HealthyDrones.com - Innovative flight data analysis that matters

Had 35 to 40 mph winds today so I figured why not try to break the one way distance record for a quadcopter. Running 50 to 60 mph the whole way I hit 23 miles in about 25 min right around 40% battery. The last three min I spent finding a decent spot to put her down. Everything worked out my buddy retrieved the bird for me completely fine. Awesome stuff!!! Horizon Terminator Extreme with 2 Sunhans 3 watt gold boosters.
