Do these actually work?!

All they did for me were scratch the paint off my antenna... hope that doesn’t affect my flying [emoji849]

Newbie question: What do FCC and CE stand for?

 

[Kilrah]

In this context they're the regulation sets governing use of radio transmissions in the US and Europe respectively.

For this discussion purposes, it's the US (FCC) and the rest of the world (CE), except for China where they have their own regulations. Distance-wise, China should be in the middle between FCC and CE.

Both the Titan and Raptor SR look very promising, at least from reviews I have seen, not that I need to fly past 4 miles, but they seem to help with a more stable signal.

But tearing apart the controller is where I stopped. Way way to much finer stuff in there that could be screwed up. It's tragic that DJI, choose to use cheaper plastic non standard Coax screw down hard points as then changing out antennas would be quite easy. But to get to the actual wires and antennas (which by the way once you take them out, you are not going back to them, one way so you better hope the new setup works), you are tearing the entire controller down to the base plate due to the design. And just pulling off the back cover seems to be quite an exercise.

So far I can get where I need to go VLOS with stock setup. Still get just a few video glitches over a 15 to 20 minute flight, but since I moved to the Crystalsky this has gotten much better.
