Who did all that to your bird ? Did you ask for it to be done ? Sorry I was having a tough time following.

And I'll be willing to look past the cluster f $! $! If my bird is better than it was before the air side mod. But my range was easily over 4 miles with just the boosted dbs antenna and battery mod before I started this air side amp mod

I'm sure you probably have but did you ask tony why he did this ? I feel like I'm missing something. Have you been out to test it ? And if not , why not?

Yep, like you was holding your arms straight out from your sides!
With the "tips" going top to bottom. You can angle little little bit from straight out but no more than 30% and keep the tips facing top to bottom. This is from the maker himself(whom you are obviously going to have a hard time believing at this point) and from my own experiences trying the many different ways
Yea it wont fit in the case now. I have 3 antennas on mine now, I have to mod my case. I would like to see some close up pics of that bird. I will try and get some of mine this weekend.
OK.
I just saw your pics. I was using the same antennas , and did not work well for me. I have gone to CP antennas now.

Yeah I sent tony a message . I just got it back last night and I have been charging everything up and of course lexington ky has 30 mph winds today and 50 mph gusts. So I haven't had a chance to test it yet. So hopefully it will work perfectly

I just don't understand. I get great range with my DBS mod and stock bird.
If you have 4 miles without all this crap, why pay someone to void all your warranties? If you had the Battery Mod your distance is already greater than your improved battery life right?

Ah, until you fly it we must reserve judgement!! Maybe tony hooked you up and you owe him a thank you for the free upgrade !! Can't wait to hear how she flys !!!

The position is not that critical so long as they remain vertical.
Dipoles are considered omni-directional and thus have equal radiation on all sides (except top and bottom, i.e. tips).
Having said that the body of the quad could create a 'shadow' when between the Tx and Rx antenna(s) but given it's mostly plastic that's negligible except at extreme distance.

I got some from Hyperion HV 60C Lipo and LiFe Batteries for RC Airplanes Multirotors and Helicopters
and
Empire Hobby | HYPERION G6 HV 60C MAX
But looks like both are out of stock again already...People scoffin' these up!
Yeah absolutely! ! Tony has been helpful and he said it wasn't easy to get the amp to the inside which he did for free. So I'm really hoping the results are amazing . It looks like tomorrow I'll be able to test it out.
I apologize for going off topic on this but the guys that seem to know the most are participating in this thread. Thanks again
That was the easy part for me. I put the amp inside. If you have the amp outside there is no room fore any thing else.
Cant wait to see your results.

Yeah, i'd be concerned with the shadow also because we are doing this for long-distance. And it looks like you have two video antennas on the same side of the bird at some point either coming or going that's going to cause a problem ,maybe negligible, but from what I understand you're trying to go past your 4 miles that you was going without the mod!
It's ideal to have one video on front corner one on back corner but opposite sides and same with control

This makes the most sense,
Regardless of which side you are facing you have both video & control. Minimizing any RF shadows or dead spots.

I agree with 13flyer.I wish I had left mine stock. Now to put all this in the case, will be a chore.
