how far can drones fly from controller
DJI drones can fly over 3 miles away. There are lots of caveats, depending on the radio conditions, battery, wind, line of sight and a few other factors. But as a single number around 3-4 miles (and back) is about as far as they'd go with the conditions.
AR.Drone RC mod extends flight range to 1.5 â 2.5 kilometers. The flight range of the AR.Drone is limited because the wifi range is limited to somewhere between 30 â 100 meters depending on where you fly and whether you have line of sight. The flight range of the AR.Drone can be drastically extended to 1.5 â 2.5 kilometers by using RC equipment. The 2.4 GHZ RC hack instructions describe how the range can be extended in full detail. The actual flight range will depend on the RC transmitter & receiver used.
