Keep in mind that the flying time is only about 12 minutes.
That gives you what, 3.6km with full speed (5m/s) and before that you still have to take off and accelerate. How long will that take, what is the vertical climbing speed ?!? Then you want to have your toy back, so maybe you reach about 1.5km in distance ... ? :-)

    Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that
    one in
    a million chances happen 99% of the time.
