It's already in place here in UK, and USA.
Whilst it may be a PITA, it's no biggie. If you can't pass the test you probably shouldn't be flying anything bigger than a paper plane.
The side of the antenna needs to be parallel with the vertical part of the phantom legs for maximum signal. You cannot achieve that at 100 feet out and 200 feet up. Try 500 feet out.
How far away, horizontally, were you when you tested?
The P3S signal is pretty poor in ideal conditions. Any kind of interference, wifi, phone etc. will reduce it.
That is your problem. The edge of the antenna on the controller needs to face the Phantom legs. If you go straight up you will get a bad signal. Even if you put the controller out flat you still won't have the best signal, because the phantom antenna runs down the legs.
You need to fly away...
No, not normally.
Do a simple preflight - props on correctly, landing gear all sound, no cracks.
I flew RC helis and planes for many years, loctite was a way of life. Not with these.
