Here is my setup shown from some external GoPro shots and some on board FPV flying practice

I managed to lose radio range on the part where I flew over the golf course, got a bit carried away in FPV :lol: Video was still perfect but I lost control a couple times then it slowly came home as I watched. Checked on Google earth and this was 880m away from me, first time I ever lost radio range on the stock radio having gone to just under 1km earlier. I did slightly clip a little off the end of the stock antenna before painting so that couldn't have helped.
Im looking at the Futaba radio's just not sure which to get, as a couple of them seem to be having issues with people. Maybe I just need an OSD so I dont get carried away as 750m or so is likely far enough from me anyway. Longer range wouldnt hurt and gives added safety even if you dont use it.
