Default Range Check question

The transmitter will now have a range of anywhere from 15 feet to somewhat over 100 feet. Whatever your tested and fully operational system demonstrates is the normal range for your system.

Above is the quote from krysta

Matlok the link you gave says 100' MINIMUM for safe flight.

I have been at this for 28 years and this is the first time I have ever seen in print a manufacture rep state that 15+ feet is good enough. The 15' figure should never have been used in the statment above, unless it was to state that ANYTHING IN THE 15-100' RANGE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

I am not about to tell anyone how to do a range check as this is for the manufacture to determine.... Is this not what we pay for ??? The knowledge that the product will work as advertised??? I am not asking for anything other than for the manufacture to elaborate on the above post.

If you think for one second that I would fly an aircraft (h*ll I would not even drive my car) with a 15' ground range, then you do not have the required number of cells functioning to even atttempt an inteligent conversation.

I stated in my post that I have read all the manufactures literature on range checking, and my post showed figures not unlike those in the link you provided, therefore, I must have done this before.
