I have been experimenting with boosting the signal and adding hi gain antennas at the base station and have made some progress (up to 1.5 miles) but have hit a wall on distance now and need to boost the gain on the Solo side to press further.
See all my results here: https://plus.google.com/+JayBrown_parityerror/posts/MRnX9GsMcgE
So my question to the forum is, does anyone have suggestions for hi gain replacement antennas for the quadcopter side. And has anyone attempted this yet?
Thanks,

The second one is SOLO MOD CLUB
There you will find several doing long range mods that should suit your needs.
you are gonna need u.fl to rpsma adapters and then use something like RHCP and then you would likewise want RHCP on the controller as well. you will want to forgo the leg ones.

Thanks.
I tried contacting fpvlr to see which of the antennas would be a compatible with the leg mounted Solo antennas. They are on vacation until the 31st. :) Figures.
I'm not interested in the solo basic kit though, since that is an antenna replacement for the *controller* which is not what I need. Have you (or anyone else) tried these

for replacing the antennas on the Solo? Is that what you meant?
Thanks again.
