    Waldo Pepper just to give you an update. Yes range was very much improved! I hit 3000m across a river with stock antennas I was struggling to to get just over 1000m.

    Yes I will post an update once I test it tommorow. I'm pretty sure even without connecting the amplifier I should see an increase in transmission. Thanks for the congratulations I need it lol. For a few moments I thought the remote was dead so would not be able to fly anymore! I'm very...

    Now I need to form something to mount my amplifier on the back of the remote. I'm not sure whether to use a power bank and power it via usb or use an adapter and use a lipo as a bit smaller? Sorry gone a bit off topic. Thanks for the advice again.

    Yep I agree with that I have some little angled reverse tweezers. Without them I think the battery connector would have broke. Luckily they didnt add more glue because this amount was a pain. I'm hoping I get a solid video feed now with some custom antennas. I have a 2w wifi amplifier arriving...

    I just want to add the antennas that come in the kit are ridiculous lol they are about 2 foot long. I'm not sure if I'll use these or switch them out for something better. I'll do a test flight tommorow and see how these go first.

    Well I checked for a 4th time and now it lights up? So the moral of the story is keep checking those connections. Just going to see if the mini launches ok

    I've just checked and I'm pretty sure the battery connector and ribbon cable connector are on as firmly as they can be. I dont know what else to do to try to fix this. I really didnt expect my controller to just not turn on or do anything.

    Thank you for the reply by the way. Is this a common problem? I hope it is just something not connected properly. I do understand that you shouldn't mess with things as there is risks but as I said I was very carefull and I didnt stress the ribbon cable. Also the glue on the ribbon and power...
