I think its in DJI/dji.pilot/FlightRecords or something like that.

I just use the healthy drones app. Seems easier and more detailed.

Got a question for you all. These mods and Tx hack certainly voids the DJI warranty?

Of course - same as if you hot rod a car ... but no-one in their right mind mods until they are sure the item is good working condition by testing stock first.
If anyone wants to be frustrated working through warranty period before modifying ... all the best !! EU has a far longer warranty period than USA and I for one aint waiting that long !!

Does the positioning of the antennas make any difference?

Yes try spreading them out . I have to keep middle one angled down a small bit not much at all though. You will just have toplay with it. Well i guess really it depends on how you hold your controller.

 

[mariocuzco]

Is it better to put them facing the bird on the air though?

The wording( Alfa)should face the bird . And keep it facing as best you can the whole flight.((((++I would like retract this statement on atleast the 2.4ghz directional alfas.))))+++not sure on the 5.8 yet
