I have been flying around a large field area and have been noticing I lose RX at a fairly close range, causing the quad to failsafe and tumble to the ground. I would estimate maybe 500ft away, and roughly 50ft up in the air. It would lose RX when flying out about the same range. I have clear LOS during the whole flight. I think the i6x transmitter should has good range, at least better than what I am experiencing.
Does battery voltage have any effect on transmitting range, like the less energy is left in the AAs, the weaker the transmitting signal? But then again, when I had fresh batteries in the transmitter, it still lost RX at the same range.
I even tried the antenna upgrade mod and didn't seem to make any difference in the range. The receiver antenna and module look good and no visible damage to the rx antenna coming out of the quad.
