"..7KM is way short of the max theoretical. i pushed 7.2KM without meaning to over open field and water. "
When you got to 7.2km did you turn around and fly back again? So covering a minimum of 14.4km with a single battery! If you did do this, there is no chance you outlasted the battery life by more than a small margin. One way flights are atypical.
4.5 miles out.. no it wasn't 4.5 miles back, but im sure i maybe could have , i instead landed it at a friend's house after calling them and then met them up to hang out. landed with 49% remaining and i was about 2 miles away from my home point, i could have made it.
as for range outlasting battery life, it is true, few people who made videos and claims about suicide runs, one way only trip, land it then to pick it up. i haven't built up the courage for that yet.. then you have the people who do battery mods on their mavic's and can manage like 40 minutes of run time.. some of them pushed in CE regions like UK 6+ miles each way. |
