    Duhh!!! You wouldn't post the flights with poor scores :) I am envious and jealous of your flight locale and thoroughly enjoy watching your results.

    What voo-doo spell do you have on your M2 that you get consistent tailwinds both outbound and inbound? I am perplexed...

    Mavic2 Battery Mods

    It's no better. This was back in the day when nobody had a shipping M2 battery clip available so we harvested M1 clips for this.

    Aircraft Antenna Mod

    The wifi board has its own separate set of coax cables and I just remove them. Then place your amp in between the coax to the front rotor arm and the U.FL port on the main board (that the front arm coax was originally connected).

    Aircraft Antenna Mod

    All the amps I have ever tested had voltage ranges well within 3S on the M1. There are a couple that will fry on 4S of the M2, so check them closely when running on the M2. I use these little step down units that are adjustable when needed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GJ0SC2C/

    Aircraft Antenna Mod

    The factory antenna is the best I have found for the job. I was able to get some higher gain units to work, but you will lose signal at distance if you stop forward flight and the antenna alignment does not maintain vertical alignment.

    I saw these props mentioned in another thread. I wonder if they would have a positive net effect on long range efficiency? DJI Mavic Pro & Platinum STEALTH Upgrade Propellers - x4 Black

    Is it a safe assumption you salvaged a previously crashed bird for the parts? :p

    How do I save maps to the Smart Controller?

    Ageism is rampant with social triggering these days. Your avatar doesn't help your cause either for easy ageism sport:cool: It's all good here with some occasional idiots, we mostly get along pretty well in these parts...
