I can only answer question 3, you can use the 433mhz version of the 3DR radio modems. Personally though I use 900mhz for data and 1.3 ghz for video.

I have managed to get a range of 1,5 km on full transmitter power (1W) and a wooden wall blocking the line of sight from the 3DR 433mhz radio. The aircraft was at 400 meters height so I would say that I was stretching the limit. I was using standard antennas.

Hello Thomas,
I have a question, the 3DR 433 MHz radios have a maximum power of 20 dBm or 100 mW. Which amplifier you used to get 1 Watt?
Thank you,
Fausto

Sorry, my mistake. I mean 100mW not 1W. I have no amplifier connected. The range on the 3DR radio is excellent with reasonable bit rates.
I think my radio was set to 56Kbps in this particular case

The case mentioned above was with the 1.5 3DR firmware. I am going to test the 1.6 firmware once I get my new drone up and running.
