I say yes Mark .Just using the extender modded though you will be able to see farther than you can go .
 
Thanks I will order antenna and sma cable as far as my controller I found a upgraded controller with the side wheel same freq 5.8 on eBay for 50.00 so I ordered it I have one already for my vision 2 I will be using with my fc40 I have the walkers g 2 works great

Good price for that TX ! Good find
 
Yes it was a good price.had that controller on my fc40 then when I received my vision 2 it came with the other controller that had no tilt wheel and had to use as batteries so I swapped controllers now I have had issues using the level in the back very hard to keep from moving to far up and down never had problem when I was using the upgraded controller that's why I am getting another upgraded controller
 
Been looking at antennas for my mod seen this on amazon Anbee® FPV 5.8Ghz Circular Polarized Clover Leaf is this better then the 6 dbi Omni antenna what would be better thanks and what should I get a 5.6ghz or a 2.4ghz or the mushroom ant im confused
 
Hopefully someone that used one will chime in mark as I have not. All I ever have used since I did the TX mod was the FPVLR ones and the itelite
one . I did try some rubber ducky ones just to see a little but never could match those from Tony so that's all I got for ya buddy !
I got a box full of stuff I have tried over the last year and didn't care for and most likely will have another one this time next year :eek:
Be nice if more than me had one of these here as me have a yard sale !! ;)
 
So what's better, keep the rubber duck or order the clover maybe I'm being a worry wort over this or should I say over critical ??
 
hope I don't make to many people laugh but here I go can I spary paint a t link black antenna white without losing signal sorry for sounding dumb but thought I would ask/make someone have a good laugh

im hacking my extender up right now. aren't the antennas in the craft LHCP? that's important when looking at cloverleafs and etc.
Im making a 3 turn LHCP helical and haven't decided if I will buy a patch or make a crosshair for the other output yet - but ya
