A little, but I feel fairly confident in my gear’s abilities and understand it’s limitations and try to stay well within them.

Curious about the 2 dbi whip, can’t it be improved for less static? Nice setup mate, that’s what I am going for, but I am getting the Exceed Blue ray .400 class heli. You should check for RVOSD system, it’s great, and also a head track gyro that is tied to your goggles, so when you look aside, you can have a better view…what kind of camera you have? how much resolution it can take? Thanks amazing sight seeing.

Thanks for your reply, weird I can’t see it here in the page. I am wondering if a more powerfull dbi antenna would at least help to address the static, although the antenna of rx and tx position may interfere as well, perhaps a more powerfull reception and transmission may help avoiding the most of interference and extend its range, right? what radio are u using? 2.4 ghz, PPM or FM ?

Thanks for the reply, not sure if a more powerfull antenna would avoid the need of having same antennas on the same position…could be. What kind of radio are you using? 2.4ghz, PPM or FM? The range o fit can be really improved, there are folks flying those things on a 3.5km safe distance..:D wild as hell
