Have been flying the Phantom 2 now for about 3 months and the farthest distance I could achieve is 2000 meters with my original stock remote controller before Fail Safe mode automatically kicks in and activated the auto go home feature. I have tried to switch back and forth between GPS and ATTI mode in my attempt to regain control and fly further but couldn't succeed. I don't know how was it possible for other P2 owners with original stock DJI controller to fly to 5KM without any FS.
Although the DJI remote controller has lost connection with the Phantom by 2KM, I was still having steady FPV video connection feed through my video receiver connected with the 5.8Ghz helical antenna. I have the firmware version 1.08 and was flying anywhere between 10 to 22 m/s in GPS mode. Flight was done over water without much interference from other wireless signals. Any ideas how to improve the distance with the original DJI stock controller without upgrading to the Futaba or others?
