And why would you say that?

There's no way that flight line in the picture was 13,000 feet.

I dont think he realizes that the Flight path overlay is not the actual distance traveled on the background.
So the path looks like it would be 900 feet if it was the path on the background

Something. LOL. Google Earth.

LIES !!!!!!!!!!!!

haha. Not like its a huge deal with a P3/DBS panel. I think you flew a couple hundred feet further last night didn't you?.

Limiting factor is battery !

Ordered mine. Just curious - what is the shipping method used by DBS? I didn't see it listed. I'm curious how long it's going to take to receive.

He ships USPS Priority Mail.

He ships each one via a drone. Just go outside and look up.

The pigtail length is baffling

The Flytrex record for the P3 is 5.8 miles with a FPVLR boosted setup. I have the DBS and the FPVLR setup. They are both great. The FPVLR might give you more range , but the bracket is a pain in the *** and you have to charge a booster battery every two flights. The DBS is cheaper and the bracket is better designed clips on and off. Either way 4 miles plus is no problem with either. In the right area your battery will run out long before your signal does.

Got mine - that is because I am in europe. Still got one pre-ordered from the USA as well.

No amps and did 18500 feet full signal bars. Battery mod to extend flight time. You will not need a amp with this antenna !!!

I've had no luck with the FPVLR antenna. The signal cuts randomly. On my boosters I always get a weak blue light on one of them even after swapping connectors and cables. FPVLR was even kind enough to send another one but I still have the same issues.

I also have DBS and have none of these problems with/without the boosters.

Overall I prefer my dbs antenna over the fpvlr v2 I have.

I'm not sure I understand what you did. Could explain more in detail?
