Title: 25 mW new Personal best
Post by: skyscraper on April 24, 2015, 09:18:36 AM
Flying wings Falcon 2 km+ on 25mW 5.8GHz Vtx (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4sV_m2vvSE#)
Aircraft : Falcon DEVO (http://www.fpvhub.com/index.php/topic,14568.msg206097.html#msg206097)
OSD :  Quantracker Air OSD V2.1 (http://www.fpvhub.com/index.php/topic,21849.0.html)
Tracker :  Quantracker DIY Antenna Tracker (http://www.fpvhub.com/index.php/topic,8550.0.html)
RcRx : Frsky  old D4R-II
RcTx  FrSky old DHT module
Vtx Old Immersion 5.8 GHz 25 mW
Vrx Old Immersion Uno..

EDIT: Vrx Antenna is the exact one in the pic here http://www.zoomworks.org/fpv/helical_antenna/index.html (http://www.zoomworks.org/fpv/helical_antenna/index.html)

Vtx Antenna is a homemade skew planar

Could probably do better if I got this Dish antenna (http://www.fpvhub.com/index.php/topic,19415.msg157165.html#msg157165) working.

Yep..  In moving from my old MinimOSD to new Prototype OSD I removed a UBEC and also tidied up the wiring, putting a lot more wires in shielded cables. Also got rid of previous airborne unit.

When I went up yesterday everythig felt pretty good and found I could just keep on going!
I could have gone further on this run except for my fellow FPVer flying by with his power hungry Vtx :laugh:. On the vid there seems to be some correlation between the sound of his motor (indicating he is close to my GS and DVR) and my Video dropping out...  :D

It is.. except that is going to become a housing estate and to get there (A3/M25 turnoff) on a weekday for 10 a.m from A1M/ M1... Well you can do the M25 Math  :laugh:
