looking at the pair you have. you may want to hot glue the two part together to keep them straight and how tight does that hold the antenna's. You what the antenna's same distance form the bottom to the top. on some of the wind surfers I've made I'll put a bracket at the up to hold the antenna in place. I've seen some made that way also

Great engineering [emoji106]

See if that helps with your distance.

All stock the furthest I ever been (about 2 mi) one way. I could push it a bit more, but got the jitters. Next time [emoji51]

View attachment 41268 I brought it back with 40% battery life. Furthest out I have flown - absolutely no transmission issues at all.

The fact you are buzzing around at 666+ feet is a little worrisome. Not the 666 aspect, but more the >400' aspect.

Just windsurfer antenna.

phxbird57 · May 29, 2016

Nice that is what I've been using with my P3a. so far got out to little over 18000 ft. after coming back I knew I could of made 20000ft. that will be another day. I just have to keep mine set. I watched my video and I stopped about a 5 times going out. ( slat a fly, adjust my glasses, look away for a second). I landed with 21 %.

johnny21 · Jun 24, 2016

My personal record. 20,510ft max distance and 41,000ft round trip.Landed with 17% battery.
Windsurfer antenna only.
Apologies for the video quality (sunset).
