I wouldn't be worried, give a real range test and see what happens. My wife says I have impeccable luck with this hobby so I expect bumps in the road which forces a quick learning curve :-) Good thing is I'm running this range issue through the ringer; posted the 8FG set-up video 1 of 2 on my...

Thanks, did my best with the little frame. Now working on low range with the swap to a Futaba 8FG. New Tx/Rx being overnighted to me at my expense of course :shrug:

So I decided instead of wasting time as my range check with the system completely off the quad still can't get me to a 1/4 mile I called in and ordered a new 8FGs, other set is going back. Of course I will post full results Late tomorrow night if I can get home in time. I Always post the facts...

This upcoming weekend I'll be testing another Rx first to see if I can rule that out... Ordered another $139 R6208SB Ouch

I have it tested laid to the right

So again same diatance and then it starts blinking and the VU flashes yellow then off and on and then off. It doesn't lose its actual link but it's like a bouncing signal or channel on the ID. Bascalt it wouldn't go into FULL failsafe, instead it causes the motors to twitch like crazy which is...

Re-bound... Put back into Hi-speed & heading out again. my wife really loves me right now "hey honey hold this transmitter while I run down the street again please"

So walked out and did a power down range test, netted me about the "30 paces" I'm unsure but would like to know the Exact # of feet they require the test to be because Even the manual says 30-50 paces... That's almost DOUBLE the "required testing distance" Basically the green light flashes...

Oh he mentioned UHF and was overly passionate about letting me know they DO NOT SUPPORT UHF... I was like, no ****- I didn't ask you about UHF! I'm at the dealership right now getting service done on the daily driver because I'm lazy now from working on my Turbo car at home but when I get home...

I'd like to hear how Futaba sponsored Bobby Watts can do a full collective punch out on his Heli's until they are a spec in the sky clearly going well beyond the "Futaba claimed 1000ft acceptable range" and still fly. If they told Bobby his max range was 1000 feet he'd be flying Spektrum Can...

There are 2 modes with the HV Rx "normal" & "Hi speed". So I have tried both as well Oh yea, powering up & down literally walking 1000 feet as well as flying until failsafe starts kicking in anywhere from 1000-1200. The quad starts twitching so I either flip the failsafe switch or turn around...

I'm actually thinking I should buy another Rx and see if that's bad... Only other option would be to ship everything to Futaba and wait for a wonderful response.

Just a standard antenna tube right now

Guy John at Futaba support really wasn't having my call too well. I can send it in for testing and if the system transmits while in power down 30 paces it will be sent back... What a joke >:-/ I'm going to check all the info out Kloner, Futaba has me thrown for a loop. John needs to talk to...

LOL, no kidding... After flying Heli's for years & dealing with Spektrum, Futaba customer service could use a touch of love for their paying customers. Hell even an offer vs. "I have NEVER heard of a transmitter going 1/2 mile or even close" pretty knowledgable tech advisor Futaba.... I'll snap...

Guess my option is to go UHF then... I'll be looking at options and suggestions because I just talked to Futaba and they said if I am going 1000 feet then there isn't anything wrong with the set-up. LOS flying only support. WTF. Thanks Futaba

So I made a mount like your Kloner and it gave me the same results... Any other ideas?Are there some unknown Futaba settings I should be lookin into within the 8FG or a different Rx that might be made for better range like a standard 7Ch vs this $139 version I'm using... Should I not have the...

Stock DJI 2212 motors... Solder jointes are cold/dry or motors Re bad period.

Do you have a pic of your antennas mounted also?

Ahhhh ****, that's right
