    I stock controller with an stock output I don't think it would plus the cable you have in-between the controller and amp ( would act like a small load) however depending how the amp was to fail its possible it could feedback back into the controller. so yes anything is possible but I myself...

    yes that is how you would hook it up. as for your other question that would depend on HOW the amp was to fail. its best to plan for that NO signal will pass thru if that was to happen, it should kick in RTH ( due to signal lost) so all always make sure your RTH height is set high enough check...

    I think I know what you are asking me? the amps have each end marked ( one end is for antenna - this is where you would screw on your antenna. the other end is signal end this is where the cable from the controller goes to) NEVER power amps on without an antenna hooked up or you could damage the...

    as drone_guy said you can use those amps. I uses the cheapest amps I could find (like what I posted) with the battery too. I have no problems with it :)

    flying in 5.8 I would assume you mean that in ghz? ( frequency) if so keep in mind 5.8 dosent go as far as 2.4. if you can switch it to 2.4 to see if that helps some

    yes that would work or even an electric actuators, that could raise and lower a pole without pulleys :)

    lol ohh no problem :) wow those are seeds??? I have never seen anything like that before. trees are a pain when it comes to this stuff :( if you can top it off easier then cutting the whole tree down then that's what I would do also yes that's what I was trying to say a "channel" for the pole. :)

    then when you want to lay it down untie the pulley rope and SLOWLY let the rope thru the pulley

    would may need to add a spring that spring would be pulling on the pole so that it would "help" lay the pole down. the pulley system would have to be uses to "hold" the pole up cause with out it the spring would want to lay the pole down you would "tie" off the pulley rope to keep the pole up

    ok ya I would buy ( years ago they sold "clamp mounts for tv antenna that let you clamp it to a chimney) or make a clamp for the chimney that clamp would hold a a pvc pipe that is just alittle bigger then the pole. I would cut the pvc pip in half ( the long way) then at the bottom of the pvc...

    ohh yes I know what you mean there on the sneeze in the wrong direction!!!! :( when you say you want to raise it you mean if the "pole" is laying down? not extending the pole correct?
