Hi I've had the commando 8 and and Nazgul evoque f5 (bind and fly) for about 2 months now and I've messed around with changing max power and packet rate on the transmitter and everything I've tried hasn't changed the range and I'm assuming that the drone falling out of the sky at 100-200 meters isnt normal. Also I'm currently on the stock ELRS 2.4.0 on the transmitter because I'm a little scaried to update and mess something up but if needed I will.
#Commando 8 (2.4GHz) with Iflight Nazgul F5 not able to reach over 100 meters
