there is no way you would get better range with that adapter vs using the stock attenas. the dbm loss would be around 30% PER CONNECTOR, so 60% dbm loss TOTAL which negates any dbm gain from the higher dbm attennas and probably is worse coverage overall.

I think the reason the results do not show as much improvement are due to adding another connecting point. All the more knowledgeable people on your discord have told me that this can be an issue. A better modification would be to have an adaptor that mounted to the internal connection on the circuit board but this would void the warranty and might be difficult to set up. The range on the stock antennas is so good that this modification is not going to be worth doing for most pilots especially given legal limitations on flight distance.

5.8GHz is a wavelength of 5.17 cm, the halfwave antenna length is therefore 2.558cm (about 1 inch) any basic antenna more than an inch big will perform worse (that's a disclaimer there to tell people not to think they can just stick huge wires in the antenna holes to get a better signal, heh)... However this is technically a "wide-spaced stacked array" and that made of (seemingly) four stacked properly sized antenna, which when spaced the exact correct distance apart is well proven to really improve the gain over simpler antennas. I have seen big improvements using this sort of design ham rigs. The danger of this method though, is not just the "flatter donut" as you term it, but a potential to create a weirdly shaped lobe with some deaf spots, simplistically like someone has taken the donut and squished it towards the hole in one direction, if you don't get the distances pretty correct. The bendy sticks to lift the array away from the brain worries me in that regard. I am wondering if you don't tune that distance perfectly could you see such dead areas. I guess I should fire up the antenna modeller software and look at the lobes generated with 4 omnis at varying horizontal distances. I would think you can not only do flat plane X/Y but also likely the Z vector there depending how the bendies are oriented by the user, if one is forward and down while the other is aft and up the "donut" is not just squished in towards the hole, but maybe also tilted. Then of course, you are dealing with the ground just 6 or so feet under you which adds so many more variables. While not having them on bendy stalks would stop the potential for weird aperture and those dead zones, I think the increased gain bumping up the SAR so close to the brain wouldn't be a great. Having them like Marvin the Martian is safer. Interesting design for sure. They do warrant much more range testing, something I can't do here physically due to our laws, and can only somewhat model due to not knowing much of the type of omni itself. But it "aint" snake oil, that's for sure. I'll put it to YMMV.
