Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Is the Maple Wireless 17 dBi antenna suitable for a casual, close-range FPV flight?
ANS: No. Its high gain and narrow 16 beams are designed for long-distance flight.18 It requires constant, accurate pointing and is too narrow beamed for general freestyle or proximity flying.
Q2. What type of polarization should my drone's VTX antenna have when using this patch?
ANS: This antenna uses Linear Vertical Polarization.19 For best performance, your drone's VTX antenna should also be a Linear Vertical (e.g., a simple whip antenna mounted vertically).
Q3. Do I need an Antenna Tracker to use this 17 dBi patch?
ANS: While you can aim it manually, the narrow beam makes it challenging. It is highly recommended for use with an Automatic Antenna Tracker (AAT) or a tripod for stable, long-range links.
