I have 6.5 hours of flight time logged. Over the past few days, I have been getting signal failure with my Mini being only 30m directly above me (I used to be able to fly it at 100m and 1km away from the exact same location).

Has anyone else had this problem? Do you have any recommendations?

Are your FC antennas correctly positioned when straight up? Flat side always towards the mini.

Here's the User Manual reference.

Thanks for the info! As I am in Europe, postal charges are often extremely high if I order something from amazon.com, but I found this one on amazon.de and I think it is exactly the same but with another brand stamped on it. The only thing I am a bit worried about is that the Mini is nog mentionned though the RC seems to be the one of the Mini.

This configuration added 800 feet. I had an extra one so I added and tested. I shot a laser beam at the outer ones and the beam hits the antennas up and down the entire length. Just being bored at home also....
