The ArgTek antenna conversion kit gives me well over a mile out here in the countryside. To make the conversion, ensure that you acquire a new, extremely sharp surgical blade, and NOT an exacto knife, to slice off the hot glue used to affix the stock antenna connectors inside your RC controller.I'm getting peeved with these things. I can only fly about 1,100 ft. at around 600 ft. altitude. Made a reflector out of an aluminum can. Looks cool, but worthless. Any recommendations? TIA
Well do what you are comfortable with. I was doing it when we started like I said. You go with your YouTube videos. I’ll stick with my experience .?I found that a surgical baled was far more precise than an exacto knife, allowing me to remove the hot glue in seconds. There are several youtube videos describing how difficult the removal of that hot glue can be when using an exacto knife, but with the tiny and extremely sharp surgical blade, I had no problems at all. The job can certainly be done with an exacto knife, but it just takes longer, and the cuts aren't as clean.
