As crazy as it may sound. The Panamanian version of the FAA banned drone flying as of last Sunday for 10 days while the VII Summit of the Americas is taking place. The absurd ruling applies to the whole country with the excuse of maintaining the airspace open for any of the delegations. As if...

Hi SOGdrone1, I assume that you are referring to the 5.8 GHz transmitter inside the quad. You can look in eBay. Cheers, Charlie

Hi Luisrsg, When you turn on a transmitter, without an antenna connected to it, you burn it up. Cheers, Charlie

Hi medeBer, Thanks for your suggestion, but this is not my case. All the cables terminals are male while the antennas are female. Cheers, Charlie

Hi medeBer Could you tell which connectors? At this stage, I will look into anything that may solve the current issue... Thanks! Cheers, Charlie

Thanks, both antennas are properly connected.

I have tried every resolution possible at every available frame rate 30fps, 15fps. Similar results...

Hi Guys, My quad is acting up... Although I never lose telemetry while flying, the video grays out and freezes at about 300 meters. I get the video pinwheel of death. I have FPVLR stage 3 antennas in the control and in the quad. I have rechecked everything and it's all connected correctly...

It looks neat. I have several Pelican cases for my photographic equipment but I'm wondering about the quad antennas when you have a stage 3 installed. Do you think it will fit? Cheers, Charlie

Well... I applied Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 on the WiFi module this afternoon. It needs to cure for about 25 hours to work as its intended. I tested it at 30 fps and it worked for good part of the first battery, then it froze and I lost video feed. Brought down the quad and recycled, the...

Hi RichWest, Yes, I'm referring to the WiFi unit. I don't have a V3 but a failing V2 and would like to change it for the vented V3. I do have to keep it in 15 fps if I want it to work for some minutes. It works again after it cools down. I haven't found a source for the reworked V3 WiFi...

Hi, My WiFi transmitter is showing issues of over-heating and it affects the continuous FPV after a few minutes in the air. I can try to heatsink it using thermal paste, or I can just purchase a new unit. Under the new V3 the WiFi module has been upgraded. Do you know where can I buy this...

Hi tritontr21, There are many discussions about these around in the forum. I can just tell you that there is a rather significant difference between these and the stock antennas. Multiply it by at least one order of magnitude to get your new range. Cheers, Charlie

I soldered the antenna lobe back this morning. Only had to peel some of the cover to be able to apply the 2 points. Cheers, Charlie

Thanks! I just ordered a new one. Nevertheless, take into consideration that there are 2 5.8 GHz antennas on the bird and thus, it may not be as critical as I think. Cheers, Charlie
