Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

[Wyattroa]

Alright, not anything for the leaderboard, but I passed 2 miles today. First time pushing it. I am using the ITElite not boosted. I was getting a little interference which I was surprised about. Here are a couple screen shots. Should my signal be better then this? I really had nothing in my way, just water and a bridge, but I was around 350ft in altitude at the end. suggestions?

Nice flight I would say that weak signal would be expected with the bridge.

Ok Max I took my pair out this morning. Had one problem I have them hooked up to a P2 V+ so it's for wifi video/telemetry. And my antenna for my R/C is not quite setup correctly. Only getting out to 1600ft and that is not because of the CCP's and or the coil antenna just need to find tune it.
But more to come. I did take my P3a out to 16000 again. I'll upload the video later. Adding dashware to it.

That is cool. You are getting it all lined out. I am sure that many here are pulling for you.
And think about the learning curve. We all learn from you. Soon you will be a Russian hero ,JUST like me.

The mountains are about 20 miles out. nothing flat here

phxbird57, I don't get any range here at the house. 1600ft is abut all I get some days.
I have give up trying to fly far around here.
But when I go out to the open ground it is big difference. I wish I could get 2 miles of reliable range here at the house, but that is not passable. Too much interference.
I think the CCP will work in open area.

I see you are getting 16000ft out P3A, that is great.

Max I switch to a different controller for my P2 and get over 6000 ft. So I know that the antenna needs adjustment.

My P2 goes farther then my p3 here at the house.

 

[phxbird57]

Wow. My P3a go twice as far as my P2
