    Identify that 2nd antenna inside the Syma X8 controllers..

    Actually the antennas i use are lil nicer and have metal lead instead of thin inner coaxial cable or whatever. Here sum pics of one i soldered straight to my board on one x8 using no pigtail etc. let it sit inside the shell inside a front arm and works great for such a ghetto job

    Drone shooting

    Im not sure i would care if my neighbors flew their drones around my neighborhood and went over my house. I mean even if they did crash land on my property the chances of anything seriously dangerous occurring is probably less likely than getting bit by a Cobra and struck by lightning at same...

    Identify that 2nd antenna inside the Syma X8 controllers..

    That makes sense but would that mean u could use it asa ground for the antenna mod ir is the ground plain antenna a different deal? I read the definition in antenna theory on wiki but it makes it sound like its a ground to earth. Basically i just want to know if there is any benefit to...

    Syma X8 issue using 2W signal amplifier..help?

    Note: my range goes from 3500ft+ with amplifier unplugged/off using the same 6db antenna and with the 2w amplifier on/plugged in i get less than normal range using the same antenna, its like x5 range :/ I did ponder the thought of the antenna being some special one made for the amp but from all...

    Syma X8 issue using 2W signal amplifier..help?

    The one that came with it broke right away..but i did do a run with it before the guts fell out the base & no good as well ... so im using the trusty 6db antenna's from the antenna mods i did previously. They look the same inside & out even the length. Im assuming any 2.4g antenna will work just...
