In the latest Phantom 2 Vision Plus User Manual, it states, "Keep the antenna pointing skyward, perpendicular to the ground for maximum remote control range during flight".
However, the consensus among guides and videos I've seen online suggest the optimal orientation is to have the antenna pointed sideways and parallel to the ground like a fallen log (instead of perpendicular to the ground like a tree ).
I usually fly well within the limits of the 5.8 ghz radio's range, so I haven't been able to reach a verdict for myself, but i'm curious about the discrepancy between the manual and others' suggestions.
Have any of you personally tested various orientations out in the field and noticed a difference with one orientation vs. another?
