Windsurfer on ARGtek mod

Lol yeah they all look the same
 
no it doesn't make easier to see led light on at night makes it easy to see
 
Newbie here. I would like to share my experience whit you guys about Argtek antenna supplied whit windsurfer. Today was a good day, for the first time I got 1860m distance whit this mod and i realised that my windsurfer was hanging littel bit out of order.so maybe that could be the reason for such a grateful distance.
 
What's your stock distance? And where did you fly for the 1860m? (Interference or not)

I had the windsurfer that I purchased from eBay $12 and it didn't give any better distance so I got the argtec. No luck there either. We'll I put some hot glue on the windsurfer and attached to the antenna and also that didn't made me any younger at all ☺but today was the best day whit my bird. That's how I got the grate distance. Tomorrow? ? I don't know for sure
 
This is the one I got but only 1 of them

@Procharged97 were you able to test the dbs mod yet? Really interested if it makes a huge difference with the ARGtek or not...
I actually was able to yesterday! Didnt get to fly to far (1900ft & 7300ft @ 395ft altitude, round trip) but I had full signal bars the whole way!!...so far I'm loving it!!!...when I had the ARGTek in the same location I couldn't get half the distance that I just did with the DBS. I will post a screen shot later today of my flight from yesterday.

Wow, sounds great! How's the sensitivity related to pointing the controller in the correct direction?? After reading this, I'll probably order one too..... it's only money right lol
 
Lol yep it's only money! And well worth it. Aiming and pointing to me was better/easier than the ARGTek. I like not having to "adjust" the antennas. I wish I never bought the ARGTek but it was good knowing what works great and what doesn't work to great. Personally I think the DBS is the almighty antenna lol. Buy it!!! You will be very happy with it!!... I'm going to try and get a few more tests this week if the weather stays nice. Check out the "this is going to be fun distance tests" and check out what DB is doing with his P3S....insane distances!

You convinced me! Just ordered the DBS too... pity for the waste of money on the ARGtek, but at least I already have the connectors-part ready lol.... In the meantime I can try to remove the hot glue and get ready for the dbs mod (I'll probably have to start cutting in my hardshell case again as well *sigh*).
