Glad you didn't get lost at night! Was it easy to find your way back or did you use the return home feature?

"return to home" is awesome. Never worried about it for a second. When it came time to come back, I just hit the button and waited for it to land in front of me.

Is that the Phantom 4 you have now?

@Big Shasta I loved the fireworks show, had hoped to see the trip home though.....
 
I miss it. :(

Was that the stock or the modded transmitter? I once made it 6600' with the modded transmitter before I chickened out. Glad you're enjoying it, I never had enough time!
That's the modded transmitter. I was just over 10K' away (so not quite 2 miles) and got a low signal warning right when I got to the fireworks but I was only at 400' altitude. So I went up to 600' (don't tell the FAA) and got several bars back. I think it may have been behind some tall trees near me so not direct line of sight. I got back with over 30% battery and it was a little breezy that night.

@njmr2fan I didn't record the flight home because I thought it would be boring....next time I'll do that though. I have another one where I flew from my house to the gulf of mexico (maybe a mile away) during the day. I actually lost signal due to some trees in my line of sight. Luckily the return to home feature activates on its own when you lose signal and it just comes back to you. When it was back in view, I turned off the return to home function and brought it back manually. I was afraid to violate the 400' limit since it was during the day and sometimes there are low aircraft over the beach during the day (banner planes) I'll upload that one later today if people promise not to come to my house and stalk me....LOL. Just beware, I'm not the smoothest pilot, getting better but that video was right after I got it.
 
Played on the ski today to 12 miles off shore then back to a little island in Stuart. Great day and much needed. Installed new batteries and boxes this morning and ordered new wires to install Thursday also replaced melted factory bilge pump
