OK so for a long time, i've been wondering why i got so mixed results with my MM (FCC model) range. Mostly the range was very bad. Sometimes i would lose video feed while flying 100m up in the air right above me (CE mode). In FCC mode i got slightly better results.
However, I found out online that your antenna position matters. This is also listed in the manual.
Mostly about the right part:
Previously, i just used to point the antennas to the outmost position, but in the up/down orientation i used to fix them in diagonal position, if you know what i mean. This meant that the MM was flying in direction of the antenna root to tip line, which is wrong.
I discovered that when the MM is perpendicular to the antennas as in the image above, i get much, much better results in terms of range!
