Remote = Transmitter = Tx
Aircraft carries the Receiver = Rx

The antennas that are on there are a modification that you have to install. Its $50-60 on amazon made by a company called ARGTEK or Blueproton. Like to the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BAEGRZ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pPQBAb8YKDSZ5

Thats what I thought they looked like. Did you see any improvement? DBS seemed to be the hot setup on those PS3's. That's what I used. When the Argtek came out there were very mixed reviews.

Ya they sometimes were messed up when sent but I got lucky. And yes I did see a definite improvement in range.

Well, be safe out there Mason. Take note, the local police may not like you dropping things from a drone should one of those neighbors call 911. Be careful with that thing.

For those wondering if it's "Legal" to drop things from our sUAS, it is. Keep in mind this is for CIVIL operations only (This does not pertain to Public Safety side of things for those operating under a PS COA)

14 CFR 91.15 - Dropping objects
§ 91.15 Dropping objects.
No pilot in command of a civil aircraft may allow any object to be dropped from that aircraft in flight that creates a hazard to persons or property. However, this section does not prohibit the dropping of any object if reasonable precautions are taken to avoid injury or damage to persons or property.


@Masonerickson you may want to have something like the above on your person just in case. This gives them something to reference should someone call and complain.

I wasn't referring to the legality of it, but how the local PD would see it. They roll up on a teen dropping items from height they may not appreciate it and hassle him, or they may know better and do nothing.
