2.2 mile flight no amps and only 2 antennas upgraded

[Goldmagnet]

Hi

Pretty chuffed with my first day flying after adding the horizon antennas to the UAV. I went out to 11650 feet or 2.2 miles, and I only installed 1 x 2.4 and 1 x 5.8 antenna on the the UAV.

The flight data and video are here:

Very nice!!!

You have the ideal kind of place to fly long distance too. Open country with little to no RF noise. I didn't even see a power line anywhere out there.

I stopped in Ireland for a few hours when I was in the USAF. Unfortunately, I didn't get to do anything while I was there but I can recall how beautiful the countryside was just flying over it.

Hi

You would think there would be no RF interference but wrong, theres quite a bit.

In very rural areas of Co.Kerry the preferred way to get internet access is by 5.8 Ghz wireless (theres a big antenna on one of the mountains). There are about 400 users of the service in the county and there are 5.8 beams of RF everywhere.

But it is a great place to fly, and great for long range although I am running out of room now, theres mountains in the way.

The antennas were from Horizon FPV, the UAV set.
