A quarter & a penny

[BillyDrone]

I read somewhere that if you glue a quarter to the top of your drone and a penny to the bottom you will get much better antenna reception from your drone to controller.
Is this true?

Im Checking my change pocket now.
I can see the copper being interesting not sure about the quarter.

I will try to fly the 26 cent flight tonight

You got by with taping a penny to her bottom?

It usually takes a 20 to get good reception from mine...

Today's quarters have a copper core. You can see it on the edges. Will a penny and a quarter help with reception? No idea. Don't know if anyone outside a lab with sophisticated equipment could tell ya. BUT...it doesn't hurt to try it. Just use something non-permanent to attach with so you can take it off and not damage your drone.

What drone do you own? With DJI's ocusync I can't see why the need.

I'm cheap.
All I do is take out the garbage, empty the dishwasher, and all is gold.
The coins go for the important stuff....beer?

Pennies are not really copper anymore. Unless you have the Penny 2S.

I didn't have a quarter, so I tried 2 dimes and a nickel. It didn't make any difference.

Maybe try a "kanuk kuarter"?

I'm sure I've got a few Kugerrands down the side of the sofa cushions , they might work

Probably at least as well as a quarter and a penny, but that would be a mighty expensive 'antenna upgrade'

Good lord ...

You can read a lot of things somewhere, most of which is every bit as ignorant as that idea. I swear ... there must be some sort of underground contest to see who can come up with the most extravagant claim, with some kind of point system for how widespread it gets.

Yeah - I'm still chuckling over the cow magnet taped to your fuel lines will give you 100mpg on your 1978 V8.
