[QUOTE="Texas Gonzo, post: 19624, member: 3142"] Also, why not just leave channel selection on auto and let the app decide to start with? The devs have these things called "algorithms" designed to instantaneously look at all the available channels and decipher which ones are clean vs trashy, then chooses the best option for that moment, in that location. That's how I fly 99% of the time with my Spark and P3S, and typically have no trouble reaching beyond the maximum range listed in the specs for both birds. Range wise, 2.4ghz is better than 5.8 due to wavelength, however the reverse is true for quality at shorter distances. I use an OTG cable while in airplane mode for the Spark, which makes a world of difference with fpv quality in my experiences thus far (100+ flights and well over 50 total flight miles since Sept 23rd of this year between the two uav's). A hardwired connection always trumps wireless for stability and less interference, especially in over-crowded areas... not to mention increased battery life on the [fpv] device being used since you can turn wifi off all together. Wifi is a bigger battery hog than even cellular data on all of my phones and tablets. As always, your mileage may vary greatly depending on a number of variables.... [/QUOTE]
