So this is Part II of my HDZero SharkByte "Journey into the Mountains"! In this video I test some newly built Helical antennas and push the limits of range and penetration. I'm very excited about the results, and I'm now building a new 7" drone to continue pushing the system further, so stay tuned!
If you haven't seen Part I, check that out too: • HDZero SharkByte First...
Setup Information:

- Link to the Helical Antenna 3d file I used: www.thingiverse.com/thing:367500
* On my print I had to drill the holes out pretty big because I used thick copper, and it took a lot of effort to get it through, but end result is nice.
