7E range on dsm2 and range mod questions.

I got a couple of little questions.
About the range of the 7E on dsm2 protocol. I have read most people get around 30 meters, is that correct?

If so, i want to do the range mod.
The cap should be easy enough to solder off, and isn't very precise. (i have a 30 and 60W soldering iron)
Then comes the hard part, the diode. I have read that now most people prefer conductive ink?
What exactly do you do? Just bridge the diode with the ink? Do you need much?
Will this work?

And how much range can i expect after the mod?

If you are 100% sure your conductive ink works, give it a try. Otherwise I would recommend a mod with a zero ohm
bridge which can be in size even taller than the resistor,.easyly to solder....
Range is 350 up to ???, depends on the receiver. With a 615X I got 350m and with a LNA receiver nearly 500m ..on ground test!

Well, im not 100% sure it will work. I read it on a tutorial. www.hacksmods.com/2013/04/walkera-devo-7...-increase-range-mod/
Thanks for the picture next to the euro. It was hard for me to get an idea of the size, so it really helps a lot!
It is really small, and i am scared i will desolder different components, or mess up in a different way, my hand isnt that steady.
So the ink would be a nice solution.
I want around 2-300m range, (bnf lizard95) so that sounds fine.

Thanks for the answers.

Ok, but I would get it from a trustworthier source, not that I will blame BG, but on the chinese market you will not get things every time as how they are advertised. Read the first review.....
Another solution for bridging would be thin silver wire from the electronic store. Pretined and placed on top or side of the resistor. Hold in place with a scalpel while you tack it to the component. ( thin solder tip is needed).

I practised all this on an old gfx card which has really small components.

Edit: A magnifier is recommended....i have something like this and it served me well the last years.

I was hoping to find someone that did the mod with the ink.
Yeah, good point, i will get it from a better source.

Well, if im getting a soldering iron close to it, i may just as well bridge it with a little blob of solder. I would like not to do that
I think i will try it with the ink, and try the ink with a multimeter before i use it on the board.
I can always use the soldering iron after that.

I have a helping hand with a magnifier, so that should be fine.

What ever you do, as long as you reach the goal for the given voltage in the logic table.....
