Living in an urban area with many lakes around I have always had some range issues with my P4P+. Issues meaning that I had a wide variety of flights where my distance ranges often varied with intermittent signal. I thought I would spend the $18 and give these a try in my urban Tampa, FL area. Initial tests and I'm very impressed! I probably doubled my range without much signal loss. Before, without the slide on booster I was reaching out to about 3,200 ft when I would start to loose signal, flashy/choppy video feedback and frequent RC warnings. I put the booster on and WOW, got to 6,500 feet away with no signal degradation. Only pilot insecurity made me turn around, and a large lake that before I could never reach from my backyard and wasn't ready to fly over....yet. View attachment 74940 View attachment 74941
Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying these boosters in a rural area next week when on the road. I'm quite confident that I will be able to reach out beyond 10k feet with this very inexpensive add on. Plenty far enough for me.
FYI, I saw one forum member bashing this and noticed in their photos he/she had not removed the protective film over the copper. Not sure that was their issue but could easily be overlooked. Happy Flying!
