Is it possible to build the Range Extender into the transmitter? is it ever done before i'm thinking of doing that
 
You would have to have some type of antenna still on top of it if you did as that's where your 2.4's are .
I added an itelite to my P2 and moved my extender here .

everything fits now i have to wait for the connectors and i have to find someway to charge the extender and turn it on
i think i can use the usb port of the controller to charge and maybe use the s2 switch to turn it on any ideas?

Well you need the usb port you have for your TX and not sure if putting your battery over the 5.8 module would cause any interference or not .
Really not sure to be honest but till ya try we won't know . Not really sure I would want to use my S2 switch but for what it's for but I use it a lot .
When I was trying to figure out how to get it in there I just gave up and put it where I did for that panel .
 
A "MIA" sticker on the r/c? Hope you don't have too many of those.[emoji30]

No No ,You would have to go back and read this MIA / FOUND ! and then another where that bird fell 249'
and totaled .That's where the name Mia came from :)
I changed it from that to Mia cause after I looked at that I though what you did :)

Ok, now I get it. I've only crunched one bird so far. Full speed into a corner of a building. Total pilot error. Now a parts bird, but it kinda' gives me a different outlook on showing off too much. Gets expensive. [emoji383]
