Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

[phxbird57]

Lol I've seen a crazy 29 dBi patch but I think the size is 550mm x 1000mm approx more permanent house fixture I'm thinking

21in x 40in yea that is big.

If there was strong winds the antenna would probably fly further than the drone

I was thinking the same thing put some kite sting on the tripod ( your going to need a tripod for that)

Why bother taking them apart. Just glue them like the Horizon did and give it a fancy name. Thats obviously why its spray painted black to cover over the Chinese company name

Amen Brother !!!!

I'm sure FPV Horizons had to fine tune these panels... The china ones are most likely just thrown together without proper tuning/spacing of the board and reflector. I know the distance has to just right for it to work for peak performance. I doubt the ebay panels will give the same results as the terminator. And if FPV did use the china joints then he had to put work in to get them to perform..that alone takes lots of time and testing. That's just my opinion on all this. For a few posts it seemed like pitch forks and torches were heading for FPV Horizons about this. The true test will still be for someone to test the 2....I'm waiting for that one

Would most people agree that the Chinese Panels are not properly tuned?

Does it make sense for Horizon to use the Chinese panels and tune them? I can see from a cost saving standpoint.

I can see from db's results that they have done the proper tuning, what about the durability of such a panel? Would they have made the parts inside more durable?

Very unlikely that anybody is going to open up those panels to tune anything.

Beau's I agree 100% with you. Horizon just used it as a kit.

From the quote db posted earlier, it looks like they reconstructed the internals, possibly to help with durability as well.

Really, how many performance shops are there in America for cars.

Nothing wrong with that! As long as their method works, and it has so far.

Db did you put that hole in the back panel by taking it apart oh I guess that is the first panel.

I did no damage at all by taking the panel apart, that hole was already there and it's covered up by the sticker on front

 

[phxbird57]

Fedex said I should have my panels by the end of day this Friday.. We will see what they look like. To me from your pictures the biggest thing it spacing. I think Pro said that also.

The panels I order are coming from ONTARIO, CA US

 

[TheLightSpeedz]

Yep, no pitchforks out! Were just kicking around thoughts, opinions, doubts, & successes like we always do here! Horizon has put together a game changing antenna here, i've only cracked the surface with what this antenna is capable of and youve seen all I've done with this so far! All in all this antenna is worth every penny and I wish I got a chance to buy it six months ago[emoji41]

Truly... What is to fine tune on the inside? i bet you get the same results with the Chinese ones.

If I paid the money for the terminator and got a crappy plastic panel with paint drips I would send that back.

No pride in their final product????
