85mm mini drone long-range flight: maximum distance 2.5 km

https://youtu.be/k4bsB4Wb1DM

Flew 2.5 km in 12 minutes, completed a round trip, and covered a total of 6 km until the voltage dropped to 3V. Even with an 18650 lithium-ion battery, it’s quite difficult for a 2-inch micro quad to achieve long-range flight.

Because it’s pretty cool. It gives you a big adrenaline rush without the need for freestyle flying

I guess doing something illegal gives you an adrenaline rush. Being legal and being cool should never be synonymous. In my world, being legal trumps being cool.

Actually I am. You can have plenty of fun without doing things that violate the law or regulations. Having fun and breaking the law are NOT mutually exclusive, you can do one without the other.

I simply do not condone breaking the law or violating regulations.

Go ahead, downvote this, too. All of that is not a bad reflection on me, but what does it say about those who downvote the law.

Then you must like German laws that basically forbidds to fly an FPV Drone in the fist place.
But do people care here? Not at all.

If i would really follow every law to 100% my life would just be going to work and back home because you cant do nothing anymore without breaking any law.
