Only one-third of the range in this big city because of jammers.
The Danube Tower itself is of course the biggest jammer.
Wikipedia:
The Vienna Donauturm (English: Danube Tower), opened in April 1964, is the tallest structure in Austria, at 252 metres (827 ft), and among the 65 tallest towers in the world. The tower is located near the north bank of the Danube River in the district of Donaustadt, Vienna (Austria).
The observation platform also bears a bungee-jumping site, used at times during the summer months.
The Donauturm spire carries antennas of cellular phone networks, private VHF radio stations and several other radio communication services. Despite its similarity to TV towers elsewhere, it has not been used for TV broadcasting.
19th and 20th FPV flight
Costs:
FPV gear: approx. 600 Euro
Plane ready to fly: approx. 600 Euro
Costs altogether, with RC flight simulator, RC transmitter, charger, accus: approx 2000 Euro
Money you need at the beginning: 3000 Euro (crashs included)
But you need much time to be able to handle the technology.........
Powering the FPV gear with the flight battery.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Looks quite illegal and as a private pilot I am not happy with the concept of long range UAVs pilot by kids being out there. If you hit me and I crash and die its going to be a shitty day for a lot of people. If you crahsed into that tower and they had to get engineers out to check out safety it might cost 10 thousand euros. Could you afford that?

Yes, a 960 gram foam plane can damage the structure of a concrete tower ;-)

@HKS134 You need an OSD (On Screen Display). It adds the information to the video picture before sending it down to the ground station and the video goggles.
This is the Black Stork OSD, I also have a Cyclops EZ OSD
