Default RE: 3000 feet video flight

Thanks Dan,

I thought long and hard where to mount it externally. I did an extensive range check
with the transmitter on to make sure it wasnt interfering with the front end of the receiver,
even thought its PCM, front end overload is possible any time theres RF present. All it has
to do is interfere enough to shortten the range a bit, then its fail-safe for sure!

A patch antenna on the ground would work wonders!!!
I dont think youd regret it.
