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.

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).

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.
