Yes, it won't fit even when the wires are coiled. It puts a lot of pressure against it and pushes it crooked. I was thinking about drilling the top of the bar..maybe that will work?....I have today off so I am going to mess with it. My inspire mount came also...having second thoughts.. I really don't want to drill but i know when I have it all aparr I am going to. Maybe I'll have my wife hide the drill

Really interested in the differences... I already have the inspire mounted, so I already had to drill once
And the slow-yaw switch is coming my way too, so there's another hole to drill... Keep me up-to-date please!
Just did the Inspire mount...super easy. I made the pilot hole the finished with a 7/32" bit and threaded mount into plastic. I made 3 different inserts and didn't even use them lol. Going to drop the kid off at school then figure out where I want to put the 3 holes for the DBS wires. Any suggestions or pics of some different areas on the remote to mount??.
x11freak I will definitely keep you up to date and include pics.

WOW @Procharged97 , you really did a nice job! Still in doubt if I'd replace my ARGtek with the dbs mod... Let me know how the flight tests are!
So the consensus here is that the surfer didn't do anything and the ARGtek is just as good as stock with surfer? Cuz I just ordered it… and I'm getting 2.8km stock with surfer. Wasted my money?

Seems like the windsurfer on an argtek antenna has no impact... (probably since the argtek already is a directional antenna)... I never tried a windsurfer on stock antenna though.
I hope the argtek will perform better than stock with windsurfer for you... I only had 700m with my P3S (and argtek). Still need to do more tests though... only had the chance to test once (during very cloudy weather conditions).
If the dbsmod for @Procharged97 makes a huge difference, I'll probably order one too...
Thanks I'll updated once it's here and tested
And I just checked my order and it states that the 5.8 is an omni antenna. If that's the case then in theory the surfer should be helping it…(theory)

Hopefully it is nice this weekend so I can test it out...supposedly we might get snow....again...I hate this weather. This morning before I went to work I put the Phantom on my deck (12 feet high) and walked thru the woods (dense)....I made it all the way to the pond way behind my house!!! when I did this with the ARGTek I didn't make it that far and screen would disconnect or flicker bad. I know this isn't a good way to test but it was too cold and windy to fly and I was anxious to see if there was a difference. I really do like this setup a lot better than the ARGTek in the way it looks, how fast it is to setup and not having to move the antennas, it just looks bad *** on there.. so for me it was well worth the $$$ for that alone plus I can put boosters if I want, not sure if you can boost the ARGTek....So if anyone wants to buy my ARGTek (Blue proton) setup let me know lolWOW @Procharged97 , you really did a nice job!

. @x11freak what is your current setup? have any pics?

Nothing special yet... just the standard controller with inspire mount and argtek... not really worth the pictures lol
