Well it's been too windy to push my bird out but I decided to do a nice stupid test. I put the windsurfer on backwards and flew out over water. Range was 5800ft give or take. So I take it that the reflection is not 100%. Pretty funny. Once the wind dies down I will push it out correctly but I was dealing with a 10mph wind.
 
5800 over water is pretty crappy.. I've gotten better than that in the suburbs with 11200 feet the longest. Windsurfer does work I. The one test I performed... Had about 4800 feet without the windsurfer and with it flying in the same direction got about 5800 feet... Will experiment some more but it appears to make a difference
 
I had the reflector on backwards so was reflecting the signal in the opposite direction.
