It's been over a year since I ventured out at night. The new EZ is a good plane for it, but I have some tweaks to do to get it spot on.
Can anyone suggest a better camera? Here I'm using the old SN555.

That's Bush, London boy from the nineties mixed by Buddha Bar I think.
Nice ,with videos like that I feel I'm onboard trying to see as much as possible keeping my nerves calm.
+ music taste ... ^-^
Can you put a link up to the strobes your using on the twinstar Rich ?
Impressive video, what cam are you using?? I experienced the GPS issue my self on a X-5, in my case it was due to 1,3ghz interference. When I moved the clover away from the GPS antenna it solved the problem more or less. However it remained an issue on the small X-5 during turns, especially when in a turn the clover was positioned in between the satelites and the GPS antenna, (turns with the 1,3 clover on the outside wing).

I think it's the strobon kit from www.firstpersonview.co.uk (http://www.firstpersonview.co.uk) - that's the one he linked me to :laugh:
Coyote / UAV / Steve
Yep, those are the stobes from Simon, but it was on the roof of my car, not on the plane. On the plane I simply have LED strip that runs underside the wing (for LOS take off) and then are cut through a small hole in the wing to the top section and ran back towards the fuse. I used to have them on 7v so the camera doesn't get 'washed out' and will put it back so.
UAV, this is a simple SN555 camera and has no OSD settings available, just plug and play. I have moved the GPS as far back as I can - separation is now 600mm - the most I can get on the EZ*. Haven't tried it yet but sure that's fixed it. I also changed the VTX to a 200mw 1.3, should be good.
If the weather's OK I'll fly that same patch tonight and see if it's all sorted.
Look forward to it :)
