As an example I never exceeded 250' AGL to get to this position, but due to lack of access I had to launch from a spot 275' down hill from this location, there is just not much flat land here in the Pacific Northwest.

I'm Getting better results with these, fpvlr and 2 omni 2.4g antennas, the 5dbi on the right is on the telemetry lead and gave a noticeable improvement over the internal antenna it replaced.

Good info from Hal, I have a large range of sizes in my antenna parts box, 6 to 30 cm, only issue Ive had is with some of the shielded leads being to stiff to route through the controller and the bird. Have fun!

I used pigtails about the same length as the internal antennas being replaced and as mentioned above, both the internal antennas are 2.4 Ghz. using Omni antennas on the the formerly internal antennas, 9dbi on the lead from the 2.4g card and 5dbi on the lead from the 5.8/2.4g card. when...

Out of the blue after months of trouble free flying the tablet in my ST16 will not power up. The blue light comes on with the switch and brightens after 5 seconds, as it always has, but nothing on the tablet and no linking to the aircraft. Anybody have a similar issue? more importantly, if you...

need to be a little cautious re: 3 plugs connecting wires from top to bottom of the case, 1 is especially short. their are 2 antennas (one not mounted) they are close but clear of gimbal, but as they interfere when the gimbal turns 360, I've since used 90 degree adapters and drop the antennas...

this mess has no effect on GPS.

At 6000 ft, video fine, rc good but data stream is lost and rth is initiated.Is the flight info data sent down on a different 2.4 channel? I've seen a few mentions of a 3rd internal antenna on the st16, is this true, or am I just losing downlink prior to loss of uplink on the 2.4Ghz radio?
