Mileage Psycho Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Nice fall videos, one of the maples in the backyard is just starting to change. I saw a cool fall scene today when about 50 migrating Broad winged hawks were flying in a kettle above the house and the woods. Hey John you should make this the official fall video and picture thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Here's the video from yesterday. This area is some of the best snowmobiling around here during the winter. It is a mix of timber company land and a National Wildlife Refuge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With OK conditions it's about a mile. With perfect conditions I've been 2 miles and the reception was still perfect. The one I have sells for about $700 now.

What happens if it loses signal does it just come back or how does that work. I like water so would be using it just like you in that sense.

It's a lot of technology for the money IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Nice. Hey, you guys get an altitude reading on those? Looks like ~300 feet. How high can you fly them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it tells you how high you are from your takeoff point. When you download the flight data after the flight it will tell you the actual altitude. The firmware allows you to fly up to 1600' above your takeoff point. The FAA recommends 400' so you don't interfere with regular airplanes.
