Description
The BANDICOOT antenna is a small linear receiving patch that is designed to work with the linear whip antenna’s found on the Tiny Whoop and Micro Drones.
If you are using a linear whip antenna on your micro quad and using a circular antenna to receive you would be experiencing a 3db loss due to the mixed polarisation signals, for each 3db drop in signal that is a half in power so effectively your 25mW vtx will only be seen as transmitting 12.5mW.
For increased range, clarity and to get your 3db back use the Menace Bandicoot.

These patch antennas are amazing use them for my tiny whoop and 140 and the difference is amazing very good penetration and range

This is a must for whoop flying, the linear patch punches straight throw my walls and gives me a great signal

Running this on my stock Attitude V4’s and can’t believe how much better the Bandicoot is over the stock RHCP the goggles came with. My little 65mm Whoop and NFE Boss 7XL (both with AW Zer0 FC’s) have taken some pretty serious flights over the neighborhood since putting the linear antenna on! Not to mention, it has some serious punch thru the walls in my house vs. the RHCP. Very happy! Here is a little flight video: https://youtu.be/ELctNEBxh3A

Fly a whoop with a linear on the VTX? Then this antenna is for you. Dump the RH/LH CP and go linear. Man, what a difference! Maximum reach and punch-through! Nice job, Menace!
