Today I tried my Bird Side, Frsky 2.4Ghz whisker antennas in a fairly 'noisy' suburban setting.

I got out to 1 kilometre and probably could have kept going.

I have these in place of the internal patch antennas (that I am still too chicken to attempt installing).

Everything is stock besides Magic Power 5 (I am in Australia so needed the boost in power).

The antennas just extend outside the gimbal and are at 60d to each other.

They are guided through black plastic drinking straws.

Held in place with hot glue to the fuselage.

A good test is inside your house. If you can still get video through several walls, rooms, you know you will get awesome range outdoors.
