My First Question Distance Limits Please Help

I was ready to get started building my uav until I saw this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW8QbBhMbxE&feature=fvwThe video is by Chris himself off Fora TV. At the end he says that after 2000 meters the uav will return home as a safety feature. Is there anyway to change that. I was looking in the code and can't find the line to edit. I am a full scale pilot and understand you can't just send it flying with no method of saftey, but say you were following it in a car than it would exceed the distance but still be under line of sight.Thanks for any help.

    Depending on your country, flight following may not be legal. GCS and operator sometimes need to be in a fixed place. 2000m is well beyond VLOS, be careful!

    I seem to recall that we took that out a few versions ago. I don't think there is any distance limit now.
