Where I stuck my Marco Polo

[drrags]

The last time I crashed my Evo 2 was at night, and I only found it because the lights were flashing. I had since read about the various tracker products and went with the Marco Polo.

I was worried about placing it in a location that would block the GPS or OA sensors. I ended up sticking it on top and forward. I tested it on a few flights and had no problem getting a full GPS signal, and I tried flying it into obstacles - no crashes. I'm calling it a success. Can anyone think of any issues I may have overlooked?

I thought this was going to be a funny thread.

Can the antenna in any way come in contact with the props? I put mine on rear leg facing down... but yours would send a better signal - assuming it lands right-side-up.

Being new to this hobby, just ordered one myself. Will most likely save me some grief down the road.

You only need to use it once to get your money's worth!

I can use it elsewhere as well, like on my wandering dog. Maybe on my wandering wife too....

Oh come on, once she's gone she's gone

View attachment 7805

the only time it sends a signal is when it is turned on by the transmitter. I have one and use it on all my birds, works great in corn fields!

I asked support@ autel about attaching a Marco Polo to my E2P and they responded that if I crashed it with the Marco Polo attached it "may" void the warranty. I was asking for the best place to attach the tag to the E2P.

5 months and many flights later, still no issues. At all.

I think that Autel has to do CYA on adding anything to your drone.
