Hey folks,

Happy to have signed up to RcGroups.
I've been messing around with RC stuff for many years now, and these days, it's all about drones for me. They're a bit more complicated than the RC cars, but that's part of the fun.

Right now, I'm working on an idea for a drone project that I think is exciting. I'm trying to put together a mix of antennas to see if I can get my drone to fly smoother and keep a solid connection, no matter where it goes. I'm thinking of a couple of RHCP antennas – one's a circular patch antenna and another for long-range. Then, there are the LHCP ones – another circular patch and an omni-circular antenna. And, finally, a linear dipole on the mini quad for good measure.

I think it might get tricky with the weight and balance as I have multiple antennas as well as needing more power. Even though it would be fine with a reduced flight time due to the extra load.

The whole idea is to build a drone that's not just fun to fly but also strong in the communication department.

I sometimes put up what I'm learning and doing over on my website, www.rcdroneguys.com. I'm mostly reviewing drones right now but I want to expand and create a guide for building drones like the one I mentioned.

Every antenna I tweak, every part I solder, teaches me something new. And that's what keeps this hobby exciting for an old-timer like me.
I'll keep you posted on how it all turns out.

Keep flying and keep learning!
