The videos showing the fitting of these kits make the three cable connectors look fairly large. In practise they are quite tiny. Lining them up to fit dead squarely on the board connectors is not easy if you don't have 20/20 vision. I would advise getting a magnifying glass and a helper to hold it for you, otherwise you may bend the tiny connectors out of shape. I was concerned that I might have done just that so decided to test.
I tested mine by reducing the 2.4GHz TX on the AC and RC using the Icarus program I recently installed (bargain!)
With all aerials removed I walked away from the stationary AC on the ground until the reported image transmission became poor. I then attached one 2.4GHz paddle to one of the terminals and the image transmission report was strong. I took that off again and then repeated this with the other paddle on the other connector. Both OK. Phew!
I did the same with the 5GHz aerial, leaving it off until the signal was poor then fitted it. Strong signal again proving that they were all fitted correctly.
Would have been so much easier with a magnifying glass and helper in the first place.
Proper flight testing when the wind drops.
