I somewhat have the feeling that buddy/friend of yours is you yourself ;-)
I understand this drive for the extreme. I had it myself.
I understand too. My own efforts seem quite puny given those figures.
Did a couple of distance tests on my drone about two weeks ago, P4P, stock standard. Wanted to see how far across the farm I could view in flood times. (very optimistic given that we are in drought at present)
My controller has been modded with the Itelite Shockwave Duo Range Booster by Rise Above Custom Drone Solutions, primarily to give me good signal when mapping large paddocks or flying over timbered areas.
Longest distance in a test is as follows:-
Because of wind, I did not wish to push it so at 60% battery I engaged RTH.
Max distance 20,908.6 feet or 6373 meters. Altitude 80 meters. Landed 12% battery. Throughout the flight, had full signal strength on the controller. |
