This is a great project hope you are having fun with it. I almost take out my phantom FC40 modded out every weekend its a blast to fly. Never got the gimbal to be completely jello free but it was close enough. Curious to see your end product and how it flies.
You are better off using the Kindle and downloading from the google play store the DJI FC40 app. The Kindle came away as one of the nest screens to use because you can get very nice range being connected to the FC40 camera.
This is great I'm curious though to see your setup and how you minimize wires and cables, especially on the controller. I have been using my setup a few years now and while it is great I never liked having so many wires. I guess performance is always better than looks.
The best setup for range for me so far has been a cloverleaf on the transmitter and a directional on the receiver. The best directional antenna I have used with the receiver for video does both 2.4 and 5 GHZ. It is small but the range is awesome. I have wasted a lot of money on stuff from all...
In congested areas where there is lots on interference the range gets reduced. I've gotten the best range out in the woods where there was nobody or any other signals. You really should get a lot more than 300 meters. Are your Fatshark antennas for 5.8 GHZ signal that you are using? I know it...
You will definitely get at least 16 minutes. As the battery gets older the time will drop slightly but overall it is a lot better than the original battery.
Some people were getting upwards of 28 minutes flight time with the battery. I would be happy with anything over 20 minutes. I have to find the 1/4 inch spacers used to elevate the main board but I'm not sure that would work for me I already have too much stuff inside to go reducing the space...
This looks pretty good. I was trying to find a solution to the battery issue also as I wanted a bigger battery than the 4000. I saw where you can fit a 5200 mah multistar in the battery compartment. It's a tight fit but I'm giving it a try to see how much more time I can get.
I normally get around 16 minutes with the multistar 4000 MAH battery.
Multistar High Capacity 4000mAh 3S 10C Multi-Rotor Lipo Pack -------> Will require making the door opening bigger
I do not have a mod for the controller antenna. I have an antenna for the video transmitter only.
