Just need some info in these. Got this after reading reviews. I used without anything and got 1600 feet before having a signal issue. Then i made the paper windsurfers. Got 2642 feet before signal issues. So i ordered these

I got the same distance as the paper ones? What counts for interfearence? Electrical Lines? House wifi signals? etc. Im thinking maybe i just have too many power lines by me or what idk. But for something that says i can fly 3.1 miles away only 2600 feet from me is far from 3.1 miles. Not saying i will be flying this far but still what am i missing.

Thanks and no i do not want to spend 500-1000 for an extended range. Thanks all
 
Q: What counts for interference?

A: Everything.

Try it in the open desert or over open water - you might get 3100' then.
 
I'm also curious about these parabolic boosters. I was in Mexico on a bluff away from major power lines. I flew my P3P away from me as fast as I could over open water. It lost signal at 15,000 feet! No joke! I wish I had screenshot it. My friends were standing with me and saw that too. I quickly turned around because battery was at about 60% and booked it home. No parabolic booster and straight out of the box. Crazy.
