Why doesn't anyone route the cables out through the old aerial holes? No need to drill the case then!
Surely with a 3d printer you could make some cable grips or grommets?

I just finished the install of my new DBS Mod and it was challenging to say the least. From start to finish I was a little under an hour. It was successful but lets say I may of lost weight as I was sweating through many stages. I can see now the reason why many are damaging the ribbon cable is not just from getting it out or getting it back in the slot but the hard part is getting it back in position through the slot back to the board it fits into . I will admit I was shocked to see the size of the ribbon cable and I can see now that strictly using your fingers(I wear latex gloves) will not work with these ribbon cable as they are too small. As I said in other posts I am a computer support specialist and have been working on computers for almost 20 years and installing or replacing a ribbon cable is far from a new event for me. This is a challenging install and the amount of things that can go wrong are many. My suggestion to anyone who is not 100% into this sort of thing is send your remote to DBS or I think you will likely be out the cost of a new remote. In hindsight I would've sent mine to them even though all appears to be working fine.
Yes, lots of uses for Phantoms and hobbies in general. I did quite a bit if research and would just make sure to get something with dual extruders & a heated bed. From there, you have a number of options. Quality has improved and prices have dropped so you can get a pretty good printer in the $800-$1200 range. Some of the China made imports available on Amazon & Ebay are well made. There are a lot of new filaments being produced... from wood, to metal based as well as nylon, pla, abs and flexible types. Lots of options and info on the web now which help make getting started easy for those just getting into 3d printing.Nice Job............3D Printer is Next.........So many great uses............What kind are you using ?? any tips for someone new to 3D Printing ?
Also recommend upgrading the outside cable to a thicker rg402 coaxial cables . You can find them on eBay for just a few bucks.
When you did your test what were the results between the two different types of cables. What was the range for each one ?No way these are having any appreciable impact. The connections will have the most loss. If the cables were ran directly from the RC board and soldered directly to the antenna then that would be beneficial.
I would love to see a picture of your long range setup. Which setup are you using? ThanksNo way these are having any appreciable impact. The connections will have the most loss. If the cables were ran directly from the RC board and soldered directly to the antenna then that would be beneficial.
sooo DBS over fpvlr? that is my question and from what I am reading they are both good but I do like the looks of the DBS and I think the 100 for the install is cheap compared to a new remote if I mess mine upI agree , in my opinion well worth the extra 100 bucks to have big chuck dbs do my install. It looks much cleaner than what I would've been able to do. Plus I'm not good with electronics . I don't trust myself with a 500 dollar controller.
Same here, tree interference. What is the range difference?BUT...........on the Bright side...........Wicked nice range now..........For me, I't about Tree interference.........not going 5 miles away.............I am very happy with the purchase and it's performance
I have not been able to give it a good test as the weather here is not permitting it. I live in a valley with a large hill on the back of my home and lots of trees. When I attempted to fly over the hill with the stock setup at about 500 metres I was losing signal. Today I went a little over 1000 metres with the DBS setup. There is also a large radio tower on that same hill so I think its pointless really to expect flying there. I am hoping to fly in a little bit to check for distance but in a diff directionSame here, tree interference. What is the range difference?
Yeah that was my thought too. Plus it only took 6 days total from the day I shipped to the day I got it back. Very quick turn around time . That was the only thing I was worried about but less than a week I definitely can't complain about that and return shipping is included !!sooo DBS over fpvlr? that is my question and from what I am reading they are both good but I do like the looks of the DBS and I think the 100 for the install is cheap compared to a new remote if I mess mine up
Wow 6 days I think this is my choice then... I was thinking about waiting and getting goggles first but may just get the mod done and am still checking goggles so many things to do!!Yeah that was my thought too.
