Hi, this is Al--

Ed and I enjoy weekends in the park. We often sit in the parking lot in our Honda Civic and people watch with binoculars, but last weekend we won a Pico Stick at a costume party and are very excited about it.

Neither of us in our childhood were outdoors much but after meeting each other we have become more outdoors type.

We both like to do activities together and have decided to become R/C fliers. Ed is going to handle the technical aspects while I handle the more artistic aspects (like decorating the wings) and internet searches.

Ed (the brains of the outfit) came up with a great idea. We can use our binoculars to track out Pico Stick--but here is the tricky part. He wants to "boost" the endurance and range.

We are looking for advice on increasing the transmitter range and the power of the battery.

Can anyone help us?

Ed has already suggested bigger battery and a longer antenna.

Al.
