say hi ! then say BYE ! . these photos are of a mock up 3inch long range rig i was working on , it looked just about the same when finished but i was never able to take photos after because i lost it on its maiden flight . if you look close nothing is wired its all just fit into place , shortly after i did wire it all up and take it for its first test run i got the worst interference ever in my life when flying quadcopters ( probably due to my inferior equipment flysky Fs-i6s transmitter & testing the new crosover rx for flysky for the first time , but im still willing to use them around the house on other small builds untill i upgrade to CROSSFIRE ) anyways . basically 1minute into my first flight after a few 85mph speed run chasing cars near a highway mid turn around it lost radio signal & it flew up into the sky 600 feet in altitude then hovered there & began to drift away & i could not take back control i could only watch the OSD video in my goggles as it went on an unmaned aerial mission ! after it got about 5,000 feet away i lost video due to a hill blocking the line of sight . im fairly certin the drone made it MILES away before the battery died because with a tattu 4s 1050mah LIHV i can fly for 15 minutes ! ( the link to the gps mount is incorret it was just to reflect the price the one in the photo is for bn-180gps that a friend sold me but i squeezed the matek inside it .

If you flew it like this, you probably chopped your receiver antenna(s) off mid flight
