A 17.8 km Long Range FPV flight that uses powerful li-ion cells to reach 8 km out for epic views from the peak of a 2200 meter mountain. I built a 7" long range quad with TBS CROSSFIRE to take my GoPro on a flight that turned out to be quite amazing, in both range and beauty. There's a glacier, waterfalls, a river, outstanding views and more!
Flown with my own FPV frame design "Rad Li-ion".
Falling short of making that mountain peak? The Rad Li-ion's got range!

I'm often asked about how I get such good video and transmitter range. The biggest improvement for most will be from upgrading their antennas. I use these ones (Airblade UAV affiliate links):
