Tip of controller antenna should NOT be pointed at the phantom.
The tip of the controller antenna puts out the weakest signal.

Yes, I understand I was wrong about the control antenna. Someone else pointed that out to me earlier in the tread, but thanks for correcting my misinformation.

My friend lives in a 40 story condo building. He has asked me to come up to his roof and fly my bird. He looks out over Lake Michigan so I'm hoping to get some great video. Has anyone else flown off a tall building? Do you have any tips that would be helpful?

Have a look at this short video. If you set the home position on top of a building & for whatever reason it goes into failsafe/RTH mode, it will slam into the roof building because it will try to get to GROUND LEVEL not the home point set on top of the building!!!

Wow, thanks for that video. BTW, I haven't gone there yet as he lives down on the lakefront in Chicago and I'm way out in the northern suburbs.
