Awesome !!! Where about in Georgia are you from. I'm in northwest Ga. just south of Chattanooga Tn.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Thanks for that info. I won't be able to fly until the end of the week. I'll try for further results then. I'm just leery of the rth.

I got a couple of flights in this afternoon. I went out to 919 meters. Picture was just starting to get a little grainy. I did have a good bit of trees between me and the quad. I'm hesitant to go much further because I'm not quiet sure how far my stock transmitter will go. I've read a thousand...

Sorry to go off topic. Phantoms are fun but diving is my passion. It is definitely nice to have friends in tropical locations. Now back to antennas, I'll try to get a flight in this afternoon to see if I could get to maybe 800 meters or so.

I'm 34 and loving it.

Thank you for your feedback. I watched some of your videos on your youtube channel. Very nice. I'm a diver as well. I've been tossing around the idea of doing a live-a-board in May to the Bahamas. These winter months are killing me, I'm gonna need to purchase a drysuit.

I just wanted wanted to give an update on my antenna builds. I finished up the helical yesterday and got in a quick flight before dark. I went out to 675 meters with crystal clear video. Even when I turned the bird around to head home it never let up. I'm super pleased with these antennas. Also...

Okay so I went back and done some more reading and according to some forums the bigger the wire on this particular antenna the better so I went with 14 gauge soft copper. I made my first one out of 10awg and have hade amazing results. I wanted to make another one out of the 3d printed piece. I'm...

I have this exact setup and love it. I would recommend the plug and play. I used it on my setup and all the connections seem nice and snug it also looks very clean. Sorry though I can't speak for the ground station. Maybe someone else will chime in about that. As far as antenna's I would...

I have the copper covered pc board that i will be attaching to the back of the base. The antenna is only partially finished. I'm just trying to figure out if the wire that I'm using is the appropriate wire for this antenna. I wished I had an swr meter. So far with my cloverleaf and skew planar...

Thank you

So far I've made my own cloverleaf and skew planar antennas. I was very surprised at the relative ease of the build. Let me just say also that I'm extremely pleased with the results. I'm now ready to make a helical. My question is do y'all have any suggestions on the wire thickness of a...

I also use the Lumenier dx600 it's a great unit. Here's a video I posted in another thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjOZGMAfyG4[/quote Thats exactly what I'm wanting. Thanks

Wow !!!!!
