Line of sight will always be your best friend, as long as the RC antennas and the Aircraft could have an imaginary laser beam at one another , this is when you get best range. Now keep in mind the naked eye wont be able to see the AC at 1 mile away , just as long as the RC and AC you will get great range . The parabolic reflector helps to focus this signal , You will have to kind of point the Parabolic reflector at the AC to get the best range. Like Cateman says , a few trees , leaves no big deal , but solid objects will crush your range. Height is another big factor , quite often to keep that line of sight you must increase height , use caution here. If you get to the max height in some open terrain you should get 2 miles no problem. I personally get over 3 miles , I am really only limited by my battery pack . Always be mindful of the wind too. If you get far out and get a headwind coming back , you will be in the shit in a hurry. Go distances slowly and learn your capabilities and the systems.
Have fun,
