500 - 700 metres and a battery life of 25 minutes
got built in GPS so if the controller is turned off or the battery is low it will automatically ascend to 60 feet in the air and return to the spot it started off from and land itself
plus it has got a button on the app to find the Quadcopter if it has crashed
video link below where a guy flies his out to sea and in no time at all he lost sight of it
gone in 45 seconds

the ground around hear has a peat layer from 1.5m to as deep as 3m down and from 50mm to 450mm thick so piled and rafts are common,the structrial engineer recomended a piled raft but the developer would not do it.on that job piles set at 11 to 12m
The chalk was in a very wet area near wood land with decoy ponds all around the water was coming in just above the chalk,we wasted 18m concrete on the failed attempt, the job was time and materials they paid for the loss MSH

Resurfaced a 1200m2 industrial estate yard down in South Devon, a morning to get it ready and a morning to relay it. Had to be brave a pick a clear window in the weather though, thankfully the weather gods answered our prayers!

You've gotta spend a fair whack to get a decent copter-thingy, the Gadget show did a test a few weeks back. £1000+ iirc

ah see we are all different as I am not into watching people on remote car parks in the evenings
I bought the DJI Phantom Vision 2+ about 2 months ago but due to time and the weather it finally made it into the air yesterday in my back garden
vision 2
this one was launched this week but is twice the cost

Like me i don't reckon on you making a fourth item. Just another toy the lads have got to make time for :;):
When i downsized from a 3 bed to a one bed i bought 2 storage boxes for stuff i might need £99 each. As i do selling at boot fairs sometimes, i won't throw anything. Now i have a shed £399 and am in the process of extending it. They are all now full of useless bric-a-brac, a lot of which is boomerang stuff, ''one day'' i will get around to sorting and dumping but , like most guys i know that some of it will come in usefull :p Another thing just putting in there is my wife's wii that she ''couldn't do without.'' ???
