As above guys

I often haven't bothered tbh. But for my next wing I want it over engineered if anything :)

From what I understand........

Shielded video signal wire, the shielding of which is grounded at on end

Possibly Shielded uhf signal wire?

I ran shielded cable on my Z3 for the video and UHF signals. Not sure it's completely necessary but it doesn't do any harm! I just cut up some old USB cables, shielded and has 5 wires which is plenty if you are using PPM etc from the Rx. I wouldn't use it for running servos from though, doesn't have the current capability.

I normally only shield the video / audio. If I were to use a 1.2 video tx and UHF I wouldn't say shielding the receiver wire / wires would be a bad idea either.
