Re: How do you guys fly so high? I can only get to around 50 Where I flew yesterday had no trees, poles, wires or anything. A nice open area.

Re: How do you guys fly so high? I can only get to around 50 Thanks for posting the diagram. Believe it or not, with the antenna angled as you showed in your diagram - I still only get around 500' before I lose signal. I swapped the controller batteries for new duracells to make sure they...
