If i am holding my quad copter walking about 400 yards away from the transmitter (Tunigy 9X)...is it normal for the signal to cut out if I hold the quad copter directly in front of me, blocking the line of sight to the transmitter?
What about vice versa, if i am flying at distances of 200+ yards, and the quad is behind me...so my body is blocking the line of sight from the transmitter to the quad; is that going to cause trouble?
I am just trying to run some diagnostics. I have been expriencing some signal loss when i fly FPV, and i want to say the trend from cutting out is from distance.
I just read that having my antenna on the quad positioned horizontally is not as good as having it vertically, but i didn't suspect it would cause trouble in distances of less than a couple hundred yards.
I caught the quad cutting in and out in a recent video recording. both times were when the quad was within 200 yards. Have already swapped out the reciever with a brand new one, no difference.
The transmitter is on the suspect list, but i have no problems flying a scratch built jet. The other suspect is the KK2 board flaking out, i have had a hard crash recently that bent some pins on the board.
