RE: V4 woes...stumped in Oregon

RE: V4 woes...stumped in Oregon

Thanks Mike, No problem I can find w/flybar. Moves freely. I'm in a rather small space, 13' square, I'm too paranoid to lift off. Maybe if I had the guts to lift off properly (not slowly) I could...

Still waiting for my v4. One thing I can't seem to find is what kind of range I can expect from the v4 outside, considering fresh tx batts. and good rx antenna placement?
