Fling with my Chines panels again. I have never been able to go more then 4000ft around my house. I just went 6000ft,and signal started to break up, so I did not try to brake trough. That is my record around here. I got 2 batters charging, so I can try to go further.

Thanks DB. You are a rock stare around here.
I am just having fun with this stuff. I did buy the Max range, and I like it a lot. Will be doing some stuff with it soon.
Now if I could grow a pair of balls like you, I might go for the record.

I spent a couple hours out of my evening getting this thing set up so excited to use it, it's been windy all day, but this evening is perfect conditions for a test. Only to find out that horizon didn't make the cables to adapt to the type of plug that every single one of us have on our modded controllers! What a disappointment!

Thanks bro! I'm working it out, I'm going to request that horizon sends me the type of cables that we all will need with this kit that way they can get it right for all of us! In the meantime I think I got enough adapters to make it work. The problem is, if the results are and as expected you never know if that's because of the extra adapters. That's why I try my best not to use them.

So they went like how the network routers are.
They are some BIG *SS panels. I see you had to step up the stand. you can use the lights you took off the stand for some night flying
And can't wait to hear about the range you will be getting.
