  • @rcperfectionist I use DL since it was recommended by a lot of guys I talk to about fpv. I hear great things about ezuhf too. Either one should be good. There is also chain link UHF too...not sure how well it performs. You'd have to dig up some reviews.

  • Nice flying! I hear that frame is tough so I bet you didnt hurt it when it fell. My gaui 500 would have got damaged I bet. Have you seen the new frame from hoverthings?

  • @RCPerfectionist this frame is pretty strong. i've crashed it quite a bit and it's hanging in there. i have seen that new frame. just waiting for them to get in stock so i can grab one. i have a full kit waiting to be installed on there. haha!

  • @kevinv033 Is that dragonlink easy to use? I really cant check my range in the air without risking my machine. Does dragonlink work better through trees?

  • @RCPerfectionist well, i fly around and behind things all the time. DL has even allowed me to fly between trees and under concrete bridges. what are you running now? 2.4?

  • @kevinv033 Yes just a dx8, I only go about a quarter mile but more would be nice and I would like a plane later for longer range. Do you know about the other uhf systems? which would be the best one? I just have stock 1.3 video antennas right now but it works pretty well as long as I am not too low.
