Planning to upgrade to the Long Range Module and Receiver. Does anybody has experience on these module/receivers? Will it help minimize interference?

It looks like PRCAC flying field is impacted by the Cell Tower upgrade.

That might be true Stephen. My Trex helis are on DSMX and I never had an issue. My big heli is on D16 and was impacted with the cell tower. But Gabino said he had interference issues on DSM...

Very nice Steve. Can't wait to see it fly.
