Can you please tell me what antennas you used? Maybe post a link???First tests are done... with stock setup I was able to reach out over 3500ft distance at around 400ft altitude...
Second run with the panel antenna got a mile and a half...
What? Can you please rephrase your statement? I don't understand.I wonder how many posting about the need for mile+ ranges are flying within the U.S.? Those that are will not have that need for much longer.
Chuck works with ITELITE. Consider him the US rep for that product line. They are building a bolt on package for the Solo with everything you need. Chuck is prototyping it now and has a few different configurations to try.Can you please tell me what antennas you used? Maybe post a link???
Thanks,

When the product is ready you will find it at DBSmods.com

Just to clear facts here... I'm pretty much just the product tester... I don't work for itelite or represent them. The antenna I am working on is gonna be heavily delayed waiting on sales results and feedback... they wanna see if Solo is gonna sell big first before jumping the gun.
Damn thing looks pretty sweet all dressed in black tho right Rich?!?
This is what I was hoping someone was building. Looks sharp. Is there also a component that attaches to the copter?
Nothing Attached to the bird
Sounds like the stock controller range is a significant limiting factor, then. Do you expect to see another generation of these panels with even greater ranges?
Chuck, (I'm David), the Itelite rig looks pretty cool. I have a background (among other things) in Avionics so have a basic understanding in antennas, wave propagation, polarities, etc. Been looking at some of the Itelite panels, especially the 2.4 19db H/V with a pole mount and a Bullit RF meter. Any thought on something like that? Doesn't sound like there will be any of DBS's rigs available any time soon, if ever so looking into my own design and want to take advantage of whats already been done. Thanks, David PS Reaching out to you as you seem to have a strong technical background and a good rapor with DBSLooks great Chuck. And even though you don't work for ITELITE you are in fact the guy that figured it out and made it happen. Can't deny that !!
