For that type of flying you want to be looking at something like Immersionrc ezuhf, this fits in place of a normal module and receiver to give you 20 miles plus and is good for penetrating trees and building. It runs on 433mhz or 469mhz (I think) with firmware update (433mhz is legal in uk).

The above can be had from hobbyking or firstpersonview.co.uk do a bundle.

Hope that helps.

Ps. I have the 9xr with frsky tx module and rx, I've had it bleeping at me (low signal) pretty close in because of trees etc....

Yes that helps a lot thanks pal. Iv read somewhere that changine the module aerial increases range but then again these modules are a bit more complicated than rc car stuff.

I think I may stick with the frsky rx and module for the time being (have you got a good recommendation to yours then please as in where to buy and part numbers. Am I right in thinking that yours has telemetry as it beeps when it goes out of range.

Lastly iv had a quick look on the immersion stuff. Admittedly it was on my mobile but does this work the same principal as a jr style module that just clips into the back of say a 9xr and the receiver works the conventional way.

Sorry for all the questions.

Many thanks
