The Crossfire TX antenna to rule them all!
Antenna orientation, wear & tear and non-directionality have been
the source of some range issues with our long range and miniquad pilots.
We therefore sat down with IBCrazy and he designed this antenna to be
as durable as possible. A diamond lasts forever!
More range
With a slight directionality to give you more range when flying in
front of you, but still maintain a solid link when flying behind you.
The antenna uses the ground you are standing on to reflect and therefore
boost your signal out beyond what traditional antennas can manage.
From the man himself
"The story behind the Diamond antenna:
A few pilots were experiencing drop-outs at what seemed to be random
times. I investigated 4 cases an found that all the dropouts were
happening all at the same relative azimuth. it was apparent that
conductive ground was causing a null between the 0-5 and 15-20 degree
azimuth. This wasn't a Crossfire problem at all! I was a problem with
the ground they were standing on!
To fix this, I designed an antenna that not only would resist the
effect of ground, but would track along the ground for low altitude
flying. To do this a balanced closed loop structure was needed. The
result was the TBS Diamond antenna."
