True I have logged time & distance but I still consider myself new! I live out in the country in Michigan so fairly flat, some smaller towns around me so good flying conditions. I've logged several 3+ mile flights out to test the range of my P4. Wasn't to impressed with the stock RC so I purchased new unopened Inspire 1 RC and linked that with the P4. Now the limitations are signal from the HD feed cut out around 18'568 feet (3.5 miles) which considering terrain, trees, WiFi and cell towers around me isn't to shabby! A typical flight for me is a total distance around 30'000+ feet (5 + miles) more with the Phantom Pro propellers,
I have also been out tracking deer in my area, watching and looking for where they are moving this year, this will be an excellent tool for hunting. Several flights have been tracking my wife & daughter on horse back at some events they have competed in and lots of flying around the 15 acre yard following the kids on the dirt bikes!!
Ah, okay. Good attitude. Once we stop learning, we stop growing. But there's nothing newbie about the distances you're getting. Those are impressive.
As a city dweller, I'm envious that you don't even have to leave your yard to get some good shooting opportunities. And funny you should mention tracking deer. I got a mule deer on camera the other night, my first wildlife!
Cheers! |
