You will find the link between the controller and your phone and the aircraft are separate and the aircraft will use a different communication protocol, albeit on the back of the wifi connection. The controller is probably more sensitive and can broadcast further than your phone can. It has two antennas suggesting one is transmit and the other receive. The range they claim of 4km is probably true, in an FCC area simply because the broadcast strength is higher from the controller and the aircraft. In a EC area the broadcast strength is toned down depending on frequency. 2.4ghz will be about 2km and 5ghz 500m.
Personally I don't see these limits on flight distance a big issue. I'm more concerned about stability of the connection. |
