Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

[dirtybum]

Ha, not real, I superimposed it onto an antenna pic in this thread by combining 2 pics I googled and blending them together. How cool would it be to have a sticker like that though.

Beings how the superimposed image made question my existence and the meaning of life itself, I dont think I could handle if it were real!![emoji41]

Maybe procharged97 can chime in on that one, he made that for me. Whatever he made it with its high quality!

They are great bits of kit, never ending supply of stickers of all kinds, finishes off his sniper antenna nicely and your maxx

He he the size of that panel ppl walking by won't see the rc and think your holding up a sign of some sort (strange looks)

You're right I didn't think it through, I should've had pro make me one that said will work for food

On a more serious note I just took that Max panel out 40,000'unboosted. The cool thing was, I stayed around 100-170'most of the way out. At 18,000'there's a massive power line system that goes across the road I follow out so I had to go up and over at 230'once I got to the other side of the powerlines I went right back down which means my signal was cutting through some major power lines crossing the road. First 3 miles of this is mostly country, then you get into the city for 3 miles, and then back out into the country.

This water tower gives me slight signal issues going this flightpath w/ BOOSTED FPVLR V-2 and I'm usually already up 250+ft! There's also 2 cell towers and a Facebook complex next to this watertower. I cant get any further with my boosted p3standard setups than right here cause of all the signal issues. Yet the unboosted maxx breezed thru w/ the p3A at record low altitudes!!!(so does the Terminator)

 

[seb evans]

It's starting to sound like you wouldn't need to buy any other antenna, next step would be military

 

[Procharged97]

Thats insane those panels can get that distance unboosted!! Thats very impressive for the standard to get that far with unboosted 2.4..was that still with the boosted cannon for 5.8?. Whats goes out first on the standard with that setup..video or control?

 

[Pluto88888]

Picking up my terminator panel tomorrow will be testing it unboosted and boosted.
Will update you guys with results.

That test flight was the p3A.
I have posted where I used the Terminator panel(UNBOOSTED) for the P3standard's wi-fi out to 36-37000' along with the 5.8 15 turn super canon boosted, and only turned around because I had small external batteries and ran down to 50%. I've yet to try the Maxxrange for wi-fi yet but I expect it to be a big performer even unboosted. That same flight path I can't get past that watertower w/ the standard using my other setups so it will be interesting to try the terminator/maxx sometime soon

Decided to do a maxxrange unboosted test flight in a heavily suburban area.
Big houses all around me & for miles.
I started out about 130' high and lost visual site over the rooftops after 2000 feet let it keep going and it didn't drop a bar until almost a mile! That means I was cutting through house is literally, through walls! Somewhere between 4-5000' it started dropping bars quickly still with solid video feed so I brought it up hundred feet and then I just kept bringing it up until I finally reached 400 feet and 2 miles where I lost signal eventually and let it RTH. First pic is what I see standing behind the controller my field of view

 

[Ed209]

Nice going. About to head out once this battery charges. Gonna try unboosted from a good LOS spot.

 

[dirtybum]

Then I had some battery left, so I took it out a few thousand feet and see how far I can drop it down at a local park Signal cutting ,through houses. I was able to take it down about 60 to 80 feet

Keep in mind this is 2700 feet away nothing but big houses in between and this is my vantage point

 

[dirtybum]

I don't know what more you guys want out of an antenna!!
Order one of these from Fredz or a terminator panel from Horizon today, what are you waiting for

 

[SK Drone]

can you do the same flight with the terminator ? Do tyou think with a boosted setup it would be even better in the same conditions ?

You're right I didn't think it through, I should've had pro make me one that said will work for food

I'm thinking more along the lines of " Will work for a charging station"
