what can i get for max range like yourselfmede8er said:2G4 antenna's deliver marginal results on a 5G8 TX.....these little 5G8 panels are cheap but effective and available on ebay from a variety of sellers...just keep it pointed at the bird and you're good to go until you've got some time and research under your belt and you're ready to kick it up a notch.....

Antenna's are meaningless now,,,,save your money.....Couchie said:Wholly crap! Just watched the video!
I'm still a rookie, but I get nervous when I lose visual of my phantom!
BUT... I want one of those kick butt reach-out-and-touch-someone antennas!
Good job! I may look up plans on something like that later on down the road!

Meaningless if all you want to to is blindly fly a ground station flight plan without having a clue what your framing/filming, or having any FPV capability whatsoever. Other than that, yeah antennas are highly overrated :roll:

Can you comment on the flight experience:
Did you have FPV and telemetry throughout the flight?
How are you keeping your antenna aimed at the bird when it is out of LOS ?
