"I took one of your nr rx's stripped the plastic coating from the antenna
Twisted it, folded it in half, and then folded it in half again
To make it a 1/4 length
Then twisted it all together and put a piece if thin plastic tube over it
Get no problem 5 km away with out fail safe
Ground tests show me about 3/4 reduction in range, but 3/4 reduction in drag from reduced rx antenna wire
Works really well for "normal range""

If the drag from the rx antenna is a concern, he had better be working on something super sonic for the government.

"Does anybody know of a way to set up FPV system that does NOT require the trainer port? Similar to the Fatshark teleporter system?.
I want to set up my joystick and an FPV system simultaneously and I'm finding very little information on this."
You guys think I should re-post my Playing Chicken with a Wind Turbine vid on the other place? I bet it would be fun!
Get me a Crocodile sandwich. And make it snappy.
