3.3 Mile / 5km FPV Uncut - Ranger 757-4 FrSky L9R

On this Unedited manual mode FPV flight I went against the cardinal FPV rule of first flying into a headwind and returning with an assisted tailwind. My mission was well planned as I wanted to fly up the NJ coast and bank a right with a tail assisted 15mph trade wind over the wide open Raritan Bay to the shores of Staten Island, NY. I wanted to have sufficient altitude for the return trip into the headwind as to fly with a slight negative pitch to slice through the wind for forward progress. Winds @ 12mph Gusts of 15+mph. On board was 6,000mah as I used a total of 4,200mah most of which was used on the return flight into the wind. Flying far over open water is always a bit nerve racking for there is no safety net, no where to land in an emergency. Enjoy.
