Hi All.
Just started putting together a Skywalker 1900 FPV ship.

Been laying out all the electronics and dont really know much about what the ideal positing is to minimize interference.
Have the following setup.
Remzibi OSD with GPS
Sony 700 Had 2 camera
200 mw 5.8g VTX
JR RX with telemetry module
40 am funfly ESC
Hobby wing 8amp UBEC

Will stick the camera out the nose so I can get the canopy on / off with out having to worry about it. Will also leave that space free for a high def camera later.
ESC below the wing seems to be the normal.
Had the RX on the roof inside and was going to poke the aerials out the sides of the Fuse.
UBEC in front of it
OSD on the right side with the GPS.
VTX on the tail

Am I right in saying the EPO is transparent to radio? So maybe the GPS is ok in the bottom of the Fuse? Not sure where else to put it.
Also my RX telem module was going to stick up the top inside for same thinking. IT only measures RX voltage which is a bit pointless with the UBEC but have to have it I think fo the RX to work.

Also want to leave room to add a FY 41AP and 2 x 5000 4s at a later date so trying to keep the floor free so more space later.

Can anyone see any problems with this layout and is that a good setup to minimize radio interference?



Cheers

Im sure more build questions to follow  :)

nice build thread very helpful.

At the moment I just want to get something I can learn to fly FPV with. I have a basic setup should be good inside 1km. As I learn I want to upgrade to the FY41AP and I guess the UHF system so I can start flying longer range. If I upgrade to the FY41AP will have to swap out the GPS so if the cable is glued into the tail might be a bit hard.

I guess the question is what needs to be kept away from what the most?

The GPS seems to pick up 8-10 sats really easy so not so worried about that. Just want to make sure my Main RX is not compromised at this point with say ESC or video TX.

Maybe I can run a tube through the Fuse so I can re run wire later to the tail. Might be handy.
