Typhoon H Mushroom Omni Antenna Range Test

JD's second Yuneec Typhoon H hexacopter came with the ominidirectional "mushroom" antenna installed. This was a little range test flight to see how it fared against his first H with the more directional patch antenna. The patch antenna maintained the video link out to just over 2,200 feet. That video is here: https://youtu.be/QMlXkPkjBCA. The omni mushroom couldn't quite do as well. Of course, a subdivision is probably a pretty hostile WiFi environment, with lots of houses pumping out 5.8 GHz. Still, regardless of antenna, the H does better than JD's older Typhoon Q500 4K.
