ended up giving the stack to a friend in need. just updated with the current componens. Helio Mini and the Aikon35A Pin32. a great combo that spin those motors just fine.

If you can conform to Benson's standards, you're doing all right!

Is that the way its supposed to be orientated? I've never used crossfire so...

Ideally, you want the nodes (tips) of an antenna to be pointing straight up and down during straight forward flight. The tip of the antenna is the dead zone. The signal radiates out perpendicular from the antenna "stem." Mouning antennas hotizontally increases the chance you'll turn and the tip will be pointing at you. Mounting your Crossfire RX antenna and Crossfire module antenna vertically, will give you the least liklihood of flying into the nodes.

Still, horizontally mounted Crossfire antennas could likely get you a KM or more of distance. You'll just give the system the best chance with both vertical.

How come it isn't one vertical and one horizontal?

Thank you for the explanation, FrenchB.

Currently, what you are accustomed to seeing are two independent antennas, that work to find the best signal independently of each other. This is common on most 2.4ghz radio control receivers, like the FrSky XM, XSR, etc.

The TBS Crossfire & the FrSky M9, both 916mhz band systems, use only one single antenna to receive the radio control signal.

At the moment it accepted as best practice to orient the antenna at an angle that is straight up and down when your craft is moving in forward flight. Ideally you want the antenna to have separation from the battery, gopro, or frame. My second version of this mount will be going out the back of the frame.

Ah, one antenna... Thanks for the detailed replies, gotta learn something new every day

They're Racekraft 5150 props, they looked cooler for photos, haha.

Sure do! Find it here :https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3139557
