0 Yea I was wondering why i was getting better reception with a little 25mW VTX on my KK gt90. Makes sense I guess it can be up to 30dB loss with the wrong polarization. The new antenna come in tomorrow so hopefully will fix the issue. Thanks again for all the help guys. Will post new DVD footage with new antenna for anyone who is curious

0 Yea I need to invest in a helical. From what I've seen on RCModelReviews' channel the patch antenna really doesn't get you much. I'm hoping this will be my last little issue so I can finally just enjoy flying and not concentrate and all the little problems haha. Having a blast so far it's a great hobby.

0 Yea that's how I have survived this long was all the info on YouTube. Without Bruce, Joshua Barnwell, UAVfutures, and Project Blue Falcon I wouldn't even be in the air right now lol. Such a shame what happen to JC though. Sad to see him go I always liked his vids.

0 Update: new antenna on seems to work a lot better. Still get fuzzy when going behind the trees but I'm assuming that's normal. Running at 200mW might try 600 eventually just to see. Biggest change is I'm not getting like that screen tearing effect I was getting before. Connection seems a lot more stable. Will do more testing tomorrow since I have the day off work.
Might actually be able to start PID tuning!
