    Antenna cutting out

    Outside of replacement, any suggestions? The cable covering seems intact and smooth but If it is at the connector or inside the bar where the antenna attach it will be hard to trouble shoot. Thanks for the help. Not to start a new debate on range extenders, what should I look for in the...

    I have a frustrating situation and I am looking for some guidance. I have P3S and have issues with the RC signal dropping out intermittently on the control side. I can be flying along, no homes open desert, and go from 4-5 bars in signal strength to signal lost/RTH instantly. I have the...

    Firmware update

    I did my update yesterday and my quad continues to beep over and over. My app shows update complete. I power everything down and restart and I get update needed. Please advise where I may be messing up. Thanks in advance.

    Nice long flight over the desert south of Phoenix Az.

    Did you take off south of Chandler? That is great range. I am in Tucson and head to the desert between Tucson and Mesa to fly. Minimal interference from cars and pedestrians. I always get nervous around major roadways.

    Galaxy Tab

    I use the TabE and it works flawlessly. Highly recommend it. Got the 4gLTE one from Verizon. No problems at all. I recommend getting an antiglare screen protector. Lots of reflection in bright sun.

    How to fit Argtek in Hardshell BackPack

    I am not sure on the configuration of the foam inside your pack. I ended up needing to cut mine to allow for the increased length of the controller. This meant also cutting out a new area for the silver handle on the bottom of the controller. It works and still keeps all the contents secure...

    My experience with the ARGtek P3S antenna mod

    Mine are both flat panel. It also came with the omni directional. Does anyone know if they are ARGtek specific antennas? Can any 10dbi one work?

    My experience with the ARGtek P3S antenna mod

    I have the same except one panel says 6dbi. I am not an expert on antennas in this situation but, can you increase the dbi and extend the range even more?

    Altitude and Distance

    New to the quad copter scene and have question for the distance chasers out there. Is there an optimal altitude for getting the most distance? Thanks in advance.

    (After 1.6.8 update) Phantom 3S Weak RC signal problem SOLVED!!!

    Just went out tonight and after the down grade to 1.5 I nearly doubled my distance. I have the ARGTek mod. Went from 3300ft to over 6400ft before RTH kicked in. I was in open desert and no housing what so ever.
