Punchbuggy, yes they do indeed act like you said. It is kinda like a rifle shot, you need to be accurate in pointing to get the posted results. I did not test the vertical offset of the signal because I did not think about it but I will try to do so tomorrow, weather permitting. We are in line for severe weather again next couple of days so flying may be out. However, when I do get to fly, I'll perform the same test again for verification, then leave the drone at that location while I rotate and elevate the RC unit. I should be able to get some good information this way. Then I'll do the mile test as soon as I can. It should be the most definitive of all the tests. I would also like to keep everything stable and slowly rotate the drone to see how well it radiates the signal from the on board antennas. Proper design of the internal antennas would be almost omni directional but I doubt that is the case. Anyway, I'll have a couple of good days of testing this setup.
Good luck,
Jim
