IBCrazy's Cloverleaf circularly polarized antenna!

More and more reading goes on about FPV...
In my travels today I found IBCrazy's Cloverleaf circularly polarized antenna! After reading a bit about different antenna types, this seems to be an awesome development for FPV. I thought I'd better share.
For those who don't want to click, circularly polarized antennas work great at any angle so your signal will remain strong even during turns and aerobatics. The cloverleaf style is omnidirectional so it replaces the default whip style antenna. It can be matched with a helix antenna, which is the circular version of a yagi, or directional, antenna. There's a great video demonstrating the effects (or lack there of) in the link, so go click it now.
