The 2 best are the immersion RC / Fatshark Antenna Set 5.8ghz Spironet Skew Planar Set Version 2 or Bluebeam ULTRA antenna set, both are around the £40 mark. I got some cheap ones off ebay until funds permit an upgrade.

Graham he lives around the corner from me, I will be having his antennas when I get my predators. He's a member of my club,

My mate is running them on his attitudes, and recommends them,

It is mate, he is one of our safety officers for FPV in the club, done a lot with drones in the last few years,

The guy that lent me the 808#16 this week used to do long range stuff with him as well, think Jon got to about 15km on fixed wing,

Been tinkering with mine this morning want to get out with it to try it, maybe dinner tomorrow when there's a bit less wind, as its started blowing a bit now,
