***********THIS IS THE FINAL MOD FOR THE THREAD***********
***************************************************************************
Alrighty race fans, my final mod configuration is done!!
I had to move the amp from the topside to a sidecar configuration. No matter where I placed it on top, it would interfere with the GPS significantly. And as others have suspected, there is little to no benefit having 2 amp's on the birdside. I actually went down to 1 amp on both the remote controller and aircraft and overall performance was nearly the same.
I am in the middle of running many tests to document this with facts and numbers, but the initial results were good enough to call this mod a big success. I just did a test run out 20,000 feet at 200 feet altitude and lowered my home point mast down to 15 feet. There is a small forest in between and it blasted right through it. This was the intent for this mod, to allow more distance when you live in the woods.
