Hi Tilman I get over 15km perfect reception using 2.4 GHz XBee and a 14 dBi linear polarized patch antenna on the ground station and a standard whip antenna on the aircraft. Do you need any more?

That sounds good enough indeed.Maintaining line of sight can be tricky of course. But that is a 2.4Ghz problem, no matter what antenna. Where I'm currently flying I can easily get behind dense tree lines and a small hill. :-/
