Narrated Long Range FPV - 12.0km Lake Cruise (FPV Record) Airplane Setup & Flight

This video covered my current FPV Record Flight of 12.02km (previously 10.8km) with the HD Footage only, unfortunately forgot to plug in the splitted signal-connector from the video transmitter to the DVR module inside the aircraft.

The flight was covered on a very calm day with the intention to fly some patterns and test the VAS Cannon Antenna - After the takeoff, I decided to push the range and immediately changed my course into a slight head-crosswind. Surprisingly the km's kept coming and signals kept solid - Until the 6th km, I experienced the helical antenna of the transmitter to be aimed a bit to the side and saw the RSSI changing numbers. Until I stood and aimed correctly, the RSSI resumed to it's 99% indication.

The videosignal showed it's first signs of snowy feed around 8.5km and kept getting progressively worse but not that much - everything was still solid and would sometimes get better when I aimed my goggles into my direction of flight until a certain angle would show perfect video again.
The VAS Helical Antenna came in for about 50$ and is worth every penny. I was surprised I didn't need an AAT since the helical is so strong on standard goggle's!

After reaching the 10km's I decided to push it to the 11 before returning to home but within a couple moments, I reached 11km's and found it flying so well to push it even further to the 12th km which everything held up great but the battery (4S 5000mAh)

With the current battery, it's total flight distance is (unoficially) aimed to be between 25-30km, which indicates I had to turn back pretty soon if I want to land it without potential battery damage (drain) - and I did, observing the voltage at 14.8V (50-53% left) - When observing the 12.0km indication on the OSD, I gently banked the aircraft into the wind and cruised it back with a slightly higher throttle input (to be around 5-7A), maintaining altitude and higher speeds which averaged between 63-67km/h.

On the last hundreds of meters, I recorded it's arrival and low passes before loitering for clearance and landing it safely.
