Having to much fun with my P2V+

I was looking for one with the antennas removed and did not see one and I asked the supplier and they did not know what i was talking about. When I get back I may just order another one and just run this one stock. I'm hoping I'll get the same range as I was.
yup i have them,
even made a video on how to remove them if you want to give it a shot.

This sounds like a good video. I watch one guy replace the glue from the controller contact. it took him to removed about 15 or 20 minutes and he did not edit.
took me about 5 minutes not edited

I flew the p2V+ for the first time tonite in like 6 months!! ****, that was fun! Its such a rush and test of skill flying in the dark w/out the luxury of the go app satellite image!
I had a fun run out, coulda prob went 4 miles but wanted to play it safe since this bird(and my skills) have been grounded so long[emoji41]

Is that a goat in your picture? How did you have it setup. The drone and controller?

The set up was just a hot mess I threw together last Night just to see if this bird still flew
3 miles wasn't bad considering that I was flying in the dark just trying to keep it in a straight line. Here's an image of where I standing and what my signal was aiming through
Nice. You switched out the clover leafs for dipole I see. Better match up with the panel.
I took my P2v+ back out this morning before it gets to hot. After yesterday, I reset my maximum distance to 16000 ft (I had it set to 9000 ft and set it yesterday). This was un-boosted with the stock antenna on the r/c side with a wind surfer, on the wifi I was using one internal DJI Puck antenna and a external dipole ( I think 6 or 8 dbs). On the drone stock antennas on the r/c side and 2 dipole for the wifi. In the past I had been using a stock range extender the video was coming back blocky and stop & go. with this setup it was very smooth. Here is the flight from Flight replay.

And here is the video from the flight this morning. It was 13 minute flight , I speed up the video so it's only 6 minutes. I was using Litchi which it did work very well, no problems this time. One thing I did notice in the past with DJI vision app going over power lines I would loss the signal for a split second. With Litchi that did not happen. I did loss signal out about 5500 ft for a split second and again at 7500 ft. both times I got it back before the RTH kicked in. I'm amazed that I was able to go that far with just the stock antennas on the r/c side and a wind surfer. In the past I had flown at 100 ft up this time I did it at 200 ft.
I thought it was funny that DjI Vision app I would loose the sign but with the Litchi I did not. and it was control side not wifi
With that external antenna on the wi-fi side it did make it video allot better. it was smooth all the way out. I did not try and push it like I had in the past. Adjusting the antenna's and holding over my head. I was setting on the bumper till it was almost back.
