    Why did I lost GPS in the air ?

    Here is a scary clip from Yesterday. Moments of horror I lost GPS in the air. What happened ? check it out to find out. Why it happened - we still don't know. It wasn't bad cable connection, when it happenes OSD writes "No GPS detected". It was surely a block of some kind.

    What do you think could cause this kinf of block ? Even the GSM GPS tracker didn't work.

    When GPS returns, did it reset home for where the plane was - or did it reset home as the initial launch site?

    What freq is the vTx?

    Can you post a wiring diagram and also a coupla pics of the installation?

    Interesting interference every time you lose your GPS. Did you fly through a microwave beam?

    My guess would be some kind of military jamming - there tends to be quite a bunch of activity over your neck of the woods.

    I have had a couple of losses the first was a bad contact on the wiring (really small) the other i have no idea, i was flying and got completely locked out, Radio (2.4 ghz) video all sorts of 'cuts' and the GPS gave me a position 300 meters away,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
