I was a modelist, used to drive 2 strokes cars that run @ 100 km/h, and I had a stick-controller. Since I bought the Parrot Bebop I felt the need to come back to my origin and to be in control of the toy... But the SkyController is WAY overpriced. A simple gamepad with some MIMO antennas, 600€? R U jocking??? So, I've found my solution: 15€ Wireless extender, on eBay (it's powered by my 10.000 mAh powerbank) 50€ Bluetooth Gamepad, on Amazon The whole package My yellow Parrot Bebop (more about it drifting, later) total investment, to have a SkyController: 65€ Tested actual range with standard antennas: 400m The next step.... 15db gain, 40 cm Antenna (about 5€ on eBay) The range with the antenna has yet to be tested, with 15db instead of 5... I'm not technician but I expect the range to be somewhere between 1km and 3km... ;o) see you then!
