WildWill, thanks for taking your time to record such informative videos. This seems a really good FPV setup and I learnt a lot. I am in the middle of moving to a new house which needs to be renewed. And after that I will see how much money I will have ;).

Does the Google sheet (what you posted on the first page) contain the items what you are using at this moment?

I am not using the antenna tracker now and don't intend on using that. I may change my mind later on that though. Just keep in mind if you are thinking of using any of this as a template for purchase that I am a noob. That being said, the flight videos that I am posting are all from that setup.

I have added in the diversity controller to the setup with another lawmate receiver and the crosshair antenna. Now I have some directional reach as well as the omni reach of the skew planner. Up until a week ago I was just using the clover leaf on the plane and the skew planner on the ground.

Just thought I'd post a picture. Moved my replay camera out onto the wing.

I came very close to losing the plane in the ocean today. FY31 saved my butt once more with stabilization mode until I sorted out my trim issue. Turned out to be a nice flight despite the rough beginning and a huge loop over the water...

Another piece of brilliance, little scary for the passengers at the start :shock: but great work. HM will be jealous :D.

Viewing the video it seemed a little difficult to land against the sun but you made it very easily.
