Have you looked into prop pitch? I know the drone racers play allot with their motor kv and prop pitch. This may be a good area to gain efficiency in.

As it is, the range is already sufficient to send further than I can fly and return. Just learned that the signal is 5GHz. Prop pitch looks to be ideal from what I can see (maximum length without touching other props, heavy pitch from center and tapering out to flat at tip), although they sure make a lot of noise, like a swarm of angry wasps.
