I am from Australia and had no range issues their although I have not sent it out past 700m yet but here I get only about 200 before it cuts and auto RTH
The farthest I have been able to go so far in Japan is 462m (~1516ft.), which I got in a very open field.
I usually try to stick to within 300m as the video feed and RC connection goes choppy beyond that.
In urban areas, even 200m seems difficult.
I am using OTG connection and an Android device.
Thoughts?
