Oh no! Sorry to hear that. So did it not return home? How did it crash?

So here are my results so far, as to testing two wifi antennas. With the 8dbi antennas, shown in picture, I got an extra 100ft distance with line of sight. No difference noted with tree blockage. With cheap Anbee 5.8ghz circular clover leaf antennas, I had no significant distance improvement...

Sorry to hear about that upandaway, I think there are issues with newer Ophelia go apps and the ground positioning sensor. I use an older version of the app, and haven't had a problem since. I always make sure I use a take-off pad, and do a complete check list before taking off. If she goes up...

No problem Darth...so far you are the only one that has the information, I have been looking for the last 6 months. It would be nice to know which side is transmit, and which is receive. I thought of dipoles, but figured they were not inter-changeable. Besides, I read that they have to be 90...

My antennas are connected under the battery. It's not a difficult job since they use i-pex connectors and just snap on. I had a hard time initially, because I was reluctant to tear into my bird without the knowledge of even having seen it done. Not many mod vids out. It took me a while to get...

So I finally figured out how to do this modification. Maybe a first? I'm in the process of testing.

I have a question. There is Ant 1 and Ant 2 in the above pictures. Now the black wire that comes with the replacement arm is connected to Ant 2. This can be either 2.4ghz for the controller or 5ghz for wifi. So have you established which antenna is on Ant 2?

my app only has a flight distance of 200m max. What version do you have?
