Just went out and flew my dji 450 with Chainlink onboard.
I think i had a bit of a glitch where the quad sort of jolted. im pretty sure it wasn't the wind. I quickly landed and assumed that maybe the uhf antenna was too close the the naza gps receiver..

Is it advisable to keep the uhf antenna away from the dji naza GPs receiver? can any of you suggest how i should orientate it and where would be the best place to fit it?

This is how i orientated it to start with


Then like this after the glitch as a quick fix on the field




No more glitching like this but i dont think its right at all.

cheers

Having a receiver antenna next to a receiver antenna is never an issue, they are receiver antennas, not transmitter antennas so do not conflict with one another.

Orientation should always be up > down
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)
