Hi everyone. A quick question if I may for anyone who flies a Hubsan H501S. Ever since I have had my quad, my TX has never picked up more than 5 GPS satellites, whilst the quad sitting alongside it regularly receives 11 GPS satellites. The directions say you shouldnt fly the drone without a minimum of 6 satellites on both the TX and quad but if I followed this, I would still be waiting to fly it. I'm also told the "follow me" function requires a minimum of 6 GPS satellites on the TX hich possible explains why I have never been able to get this function to work. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience of this. I'm wondering if there is perhaps an issue with my TX. I have bought a set of aerial extenders for my TX and am assuming this will help with aquiring satellites as well as maintaining the signal between the TX and the quad, hopefully minimising some of the "video signal blackouts" I expereience but then I think perhaps I've incorrectly assumed adding aerial extenders will help with GPS aquiring and I may just have a faulty TX - any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
