Hello,
does anyone know if the antennas of the mavic air are identical?

I have heard that there is one for receiving and one for transmitting.

At receiver the wider part of antennas will send the signals and should be heading to the air

at the landing legs antennas the wider side points SIDEWARDS..
so the signal should only be good if the air fly parallel to the RC..
but mostly you fly forward and RC is behind the mavic air and only the smaller side
of the legs points to the receiver what then will be not so good???
so would it not be better the legs wider side points to the back of the air?
Or am i wrong?

Hey Jim, the two antennas are the same. They work together for transmitting and receiving signals.

So if I put a right antenna in the place of my left broken one there will not be a problem?

I believe they both transmit and receive. The reason there are two is for signal diversity, similar to how 4G cellular modems have a main antenna and a diversity antenna.

Yes they are all identical, as long as you have the proper antenna, doesn't matter.

It is not recommended to disassemble at your end. If there is any issue with your RC, please kindly start a case and send the unit in for diagnosis.
