Yea Phxbird don't use KY...I'm sure you have a bunch of it laying around for other things but it will dry out to fast on the connectors lol.
I got you covered on the dielectric grease so don't buy any unless you need it asap!
**** that may be a record! I'll do a brisket up to 15 hours wrapped tight.
My pork butt was 24 hours with no foil - the old fashioned way!
...
High today 100, heat index 109
Okay back to topic
Pro I'll be right over after stopping off at Marks house too
Now I'll have to go for BBQ for lunch.
anyone know how 5.8 clovers do with the P2V? I just printed a former to make some...not sure if its a better match for the helical or patch
I have one on my drone coming out of the back side and the stock dipole still in the leg of the landing gear. Not sure if it was Db or somewhere I read that the clover leaf does better with a dipole ( stock antenna ). When you which to a coil a dipole works better. I know I was doing better with my clover leaf and the stock antenna on the controller. you may what to check with Alex.

Clovers with the helical's, dipoles and stock w/ panel antennas! That's the way I understand it
I'm going to go out in the morning and do some timed flights and see how the batteries are working I have a way point setup for about 3.1 miles total square shaped. should take about 12 minutes. not pushing the speed about 22 mph. If it woulds out correctly I'll run it twice and may have to do a little walking.

If you're going to have to do some walking anyway just set up on a straight line to get you a record
I do have a 2.8 mile setup. Little farther and still under that I think I should get. Have you used a 2700 with a stock battery Db
Db have you ever got a IMU error Battery after doing a Battery mod. I was in flight about 1 miles out and that popped up. looked like it may of recalculated flight time left, 14343 ft, 13 minutes with 43 % left, The CCP's was doing great only problem was my tablet went to sleep right after I turned around, So my data file is two files now. No walking today

With the P2 are usually used to 1800s or two 2100s, I think you can hold more though
I have 2- 2700. The funny thing is I have a bad reg DJI battery. I thing one of the cell's is bad. I use it to test at home if I need a few minutes. I plugged that one and then the extra battery in and the DJI battery started to flash and turned off?
All and all it was a good day. the battery mod is working. Just need to get some small bugs worked out. My Buddy Tony stop by wanted to watch. He got there as I was doing my time flight. For that one I was using my other range extender with a dipole antenna on and moving it around following the drone.
