that is how you become a mainstay in any start up.
may be because of their bigger customers i.e. govt... they can just spit on us and demand more for parts that should be included in our original "start up cash" model. they can have all my inferior arms, motors, propellers, battery, charger(which still is junk).
Yes, you can. Out of the range of telemetry is not a problem. Out of the range of receiver could be a problem. But you can still do it.
With AC 3.1, there are 2 ways to continue the mission out of the receiver's range. Each has its risk.
1, you set receiver failsafe to be "auto". So the quadcopter will continue to fly waypoints when lost signal. This is what I do because I typically enter auto mode shortly after taking off. But the pitfall is you may lose signal when not in auto mode. I don't know what would happen in such occasion.
The 2nd way is to set the failsafe such to continue to do what it was doing. So when you are in auto mode and it get too far, out of the range, it will continue the mission. The risk is, if you lose connection with receiver when the copter is ascending or flying forward, it will continue to do so. Who knows how far it can go before running out of "gas"!

You shouldn't do either of these options.
Just set your receiver fail-safe to the continue mission in Auto setting. This then will finish the mission if you are in Auto or do a return to launch in any other mode.
I think you will do 4 miles with the iris set to 10m/s. If it doesn't it will be very close. Just set the mission and follow it in a car the first time. This is a test a couple of friends and I want to do. We suspect there will be a sweet velocity where the range is maximised.

i think they have a person named Tran there
i would be happy if it did what they promised with the regular Iris.
now they promise a whole lot more.
whats that saying...?
fool me once shame on you,
fool me twice shame on me...

wow i got to beta test and it only cost me $750.
Now to help you beta test the 2.0 i gotta cough up another"COOL" $200?
Can i get my refund instead.
