you need a 3D printer, but...

Would this not prevent radio signals being received from the top sections of the antenna, thus reducing signal strength ??

not sure, people are claiming it adds some distance... i'll let you know, i'm printing one right now, it should be done in about an hour... i'll test as soon as I get the chance

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Had one of those Evil Kenevil as a kid.

you are welcome... you are not the first one to say this, i love it... I too had one as a kid!

How much to print me one

Sorry, I can't do that, its my works printer and it takes over 3 hours to compete. There is a guy in turkey thats selling them for 20 bucks on FB, let me see if I can find the link to his page for you

still haven't had the chance to test... i got about 4 days of rain ahead of me here in the northeast.  but i'm hearing mixed reviews on this... which is to be expected and wouldn't want it any other way... the proof is always in the pudding

I made a set of these a couple of weeks ago they work fantastic nothing is blocked.

Okay i tested it and it did in fact add distance to the RC... What I did was fly out until I started to get a weak signal and the RC bars went to 1 and 2 remaining. I returned home put on the extender and did the same flight, keeping everything the same as far as the height and travel line. I was able to pass the spot where i got the weak signal by over 1000 feet before I even dropped one bar.

I too was a little dubious, but now I'm a believer.

Just wanted to share

thank you

You can also buy a similar version on ebay:

The two picture show the differnce in the range... i flew pass that building (jordans furniture) and turned around and took the picture. The bottom picture is furture away

Hey, this thing really works.  3D printed the part and put the aluminum foil on.  When tested, easily flew out 10,000 feet and still had all bars showing (afraid to go further).  Without the booster, I would start losing signal around 9000 feet.

Curious if anyone tested this by pointing your antennas towards the ground? I think this would give you a better upward angle on the parabolic and avoiding having to roll the tx towards you to gain the same angle.

I guess I see the tablet getting in the way of the parabolic.
