Rip a lead out of an old router, preferably a good one with choke. Sharp side cutter to prise the retainers so you do not damage the cable. Strip a couple mm and place center to old antenna in the controller, ground to the backplane (negative, ground ), it is roughly 2 mm away. Of course, take out the old cough cough ~antenna. You will need a soldering iron, and a fine tip.

~5-6 mm hole for the jack in the controller, and strap on an old Asus high gain dipole antenna.

Range is now well over 100M , can't see the drone but can bring it back.

Xs809s is not modified, only the controller.

If this is too brief, let me know, i will post pictures and better description if you are interested.

hmm, bad experience, a bit windy, and drone got too far away, then I was trying to remote control a bird for a short while, until I saw the drone going the other way.

Good news, I hit stop, and it immediately landed, about 500 meters.

Obs I need to mod the FPV so I can actually see it so far away.
