Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

Thanks DB

Here's mine from the same angles. It would appear as you believed Hovison FPV UK and Midwest Horizon do sell exactally the same (but the new ones are now sprayed black)

Winds arent in my favor tonite and my chick crashed out earlier than she promised, so I'm bored!

There is no question who made them. with that etching

Thanks Db There's no tuning that in any way but they still could have just used the covers and dipped their own board being that it's very basic. The Chinese set looks like this -

The winds been up around here also. I'm not sure Tony B is sending them this way. I was hoping to really try out that new mod with the wifi antennas. I did a quick flight in my neighbor hood. I had great video but lost controller at 1000 ft. I a lot of high power lines , cell towers, you name it. I'll be glowing in a year.

You Dirtybum!!

It took me a very long time to get to I'm a dirty old man.

Db are the boards the same size or is the terminator larger

looks like the terminator has a foil backer to reflect the signal like a windsurfer . Is that correct ?

****, I'm gonna have to open these back up huh, I didnt measure the panels or notice foil

look at the pictures. I would say more of a steel plate.

 

[phxbird57]

and I'm going to guess the back plate of the maxx is metal too.

Although I didn't measure the internal boards, based on the fact that the outside panel dimensions are very close in size and the spacing between the PC boards on the insides are further apart on the maxxrange I would speculate that the terminator panel's PC boards are slightly larger. Although I'm not sure that matters, and I'm no expert, but they look like two completely different types of boards

Looks the same size to me

 

[phxbird57]

just can't tell from the pictures if there is any different in spacing on the maxx. Db did you see any foam between the back plate and the circuit board on th maxx?

 

[phxbird57]

I would think spacing the squares on the circuit board apart may help as in the terminator.
