distance

on BB2 what's the average distance.. mine seems to crap out at like 3-400 meters which is not great...

Distance varies highly depending on where you are flying. Setting the wifi channel to manual and selecting a channel that has less signal helps. On the bottom of the network setting for freeflight pro will show a graph of wifi channels and how many signals are present. (it takes a few seconds for it to show it)

I have the skyshit2 booster mod installed and in most cases my distance is at least doubled from stock. As an example this is two flights taken from the same location and flying the same direction, one with a stock controller, the other one boosted. I could have flown a bit further but I was concerned about the battery.
Stock was about 1200 meters, Boosters got me 2250 meters.

Does SC2 hop to a new channel if interference or you have to to it manually?

In automatic mode it tries to choose a channel that has low interference before the flight, it can't change once the drone is in the air.

That's pretty good actually. Less in high interference areas....get some amplifiers without mods to drone i was getting 700-800...(dual 4 watt with included antennas) you want more distance? Add one to the Drone, was running a 2 watt onboard the bebop2 (other channel was using a dual lead stock antenna setup i solderd) with the other listed above. All using the in box included 5dbi - 6dbi antenna was getting 1700 meters! That was 4 months back in process of upgrading and retooling my setup now hoping to break 2200 2300 meters!
