try an open field first or if you're experienced enough and brave enough open water. is also good place to make range runs. also 1600 meters is 5200 feet, that's not too hateful if you're flying in a area with a lot of interference.
my personal best run with my mavic pro is about 4.5 miles as the crow flies with a crosswind of about 10 mph.. and out on my farm land over the mountains. i could have maybe gotten further but crosswinds worried with my battery life and i was backing off because signal chop was strong i didn't want to risk loss with cross winds and it failing to fight its way back home.
i plan on doing another run in calmer conditions (if i get the chance) i have a new area to test out, overlook into the valley, i have over 10 miles of visable range and nothing between take off and end point just trees but they all going down hill so imma be flying well over them.. only issue is it maybe a suicide run and i do want to have back up plans to get my mavic pro back..so im being very hesitant about doing the range test that far out.. specially in mountains in early fall,, get a lot of random winds...
